From Shelter to Rescue to Home 415.505.0897

Homegrown Wisdom

We know that rehoming a dog  is challenging, these days folks don't know where to turn. We want to help you find solutions to these and other pet issues (behavior, resources for health, etc). We have seen so many dogs end up surrendered to shelters because of issues that can be solved. We know you love your dog, and, through community and mentorship, we are hoping to help you make it work, or help you to find a new home.
* You will find videos on our web page describing typical issues facing dog owners today.
* If you are rehoming a dog, please look at the videos. Also, please consider the advice below. This is how WE network dogs successfully.
* Many people use facebook to connect with people looking to adopt a dog. Here's how!
* On Facebook search space type in the word "Rehome" along with the name of your city, county or even telephone area code. For example, Dog Rehome Oakland, Dog Rehome Sonoma County or even 707 Dog Rehome.
* You'll find general rehoming groups. Join the group so that you can post your dog. You'll generally find several different groups, and use them all.
* Upload good quality photos that show your dogs size, energy level and personality. Video can be helpful too, especially if the dog is good with children.
* Many people in these groups will help to share your post and you'll find them to be supportive. Be sure to describe whether your dog is neutered, UTD on shots and any medical or behavioral issues the dog might have. Remember that if you withhold info just to get the dog moved, the next person may not be as caring. Be honest, and put some effort into this. It WILL pay off!
* Lastly, screen potential adopters carefully! Remember, we're here to help.  Email us with questions!
