Rehome by Adopt a Pet is an online service that helps pet owners adopt out their pet directly to a new home. Pet owners can use Rehome's innovative online dashboard to add their pet to the AdoptaPet.com website, and the Rehome service guides them through the adoption process.
Rehome can reduce shelter intake.
Referring owners to Rehome lets you focus your organization's resources on pets that urgently need your help, or are best served by your expertise for proper placement.
Rehome is a great tool for relinquishing owners who have enough time (at least 1 week) to keep housing their pet while they use Rehome. Some pets in some areas can take longer. Owners need to be able to add digital photos and a description of their pet to the Rehome website, check their email daily, log in to the Rehome website to screen their adoption applications, and safely meet with an applicant in a public place.
Rehome supports pet retention.
Some owners want to keep their pets, but just need a little help. Of course individualized professional help is best, but that isn't always feasible. Rehome has curated an online library of help articles for the most common and easier-to-solve reasons owners surrender pets to try to help keep pets happily in their first home, whenever possible.
Rehome and the owner do the work.
Limit your liability.
Your organization is not responsible for or involved in the adoption process of the pet. The Rehome-provided transfer of ownership template includes a choice for the owner regarding what happens if the adoption doesn’t work out - either the owner takes the pet back, or the adopter agrees to use Rehome to find a new home for the pet.
Owner and adopter personal information is kept private. Adopters must apply for an owner to see their application answers for name, email and phone, city, state, and about their home. Street addresses are not asked for, for everyone's safety. Owners choose which applicants they will call and meet.
