Lakeshore PAWS is dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs from shelters where they face the risk of euthanasia. Unfortunately, our capacity is often stretched to its limit, leaving us with little to no space to accept owner surrenders. We understand that surrendering a pet is an incredibly difficult decision, and we encourage you to explore the resources listed below before considering rehoming your pet.
If you have explored all options and must rehome your pet, we recommend starting with your network of friends, family, and neighbors. They may be able to help you find a loving new home for your pet.
Additionally, we suggest using Rehome, a trusted nationwide service designed to help safely rehome pets. Rehome makes it easy to connect with potential adopters by allowing you to create a pet profile in under 10 minutes. Once the profile is set up, it will be featured on Adopt-a-Pet.com, where millions of visitors view listings each month, increasing the chances of finding the perfect forever home.
To list your pet, there is a small fee (ranging from $5 to $50, depending on your pet’s type and age). Alternatively, you can use this referral coupon code to receive a 90% discount on the listing fee: "LAKEPAWS81939".
Tips for Using Rehome:
- Ensure your pet is spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. These important steps will increase your pet's chances of finding a new home quickly.
- Capture a great photo that showcases your pet’s personality and write a compelling bio. Highlight what makes them special—Are they good with other dogs? Do they love toys? Are they kid-friendly? Have they had any training? The more details you provide, the better!
