If you simply cannot take care of your pet any longer, and you have explored other options, then we encourage you to consider rehoming your pet as opposed to surrendering them to a shelter.
Rehoming is a better alternative if you are willing to take the time to find a good home for your pet. There are many people in your community who would be willing to adopt your pet if you give the process a fair chance to work. The tools and resources on our website are free to pet owners and there is no cost to rehome your pet.

Learn about the Rehoming Project
The Elderly Pet Organization has initiated a national Rehoming Project to promote awareness about responsible rehoming. If every unwanted pet was rehomed, instead of being surrendered to a shelter, we would greatly reduce overcrowding in shelters and we would eliminate premature euthanization due to shelter overcrowding.
You can help provide vital resources to at-risk senior pets and educate people about responsible rehoming. Please give today because by the end of the day today, 7,123 pets will be surrendered to shelters and 500 pets will be euthanized. Your gift helps us to connect with those people who are considering surrendering their pet.
Together, we can change the course for millions of unwanted pets. Make a Difference Today.
