SURRENDERING YOUR
COMPANION ANIMAL

Common Excuses

Grew to big… to furry…. Barks too much…. I'm having a lifestyle change, I need to move, I need answers, etc.

Remember your dog or cannot find itself a good home. You must do that for them. Your dog or cat is at your mercy and it trusts you.

LET'S GET REAL

Think About What You Are Doing

" You are His Trainer
" Parent Figure
" He Trusts In You For Protection
" He Is There To Love You All The Time
" His Heart Is Yours

1. Help find a good trainer to correct some problems.
2. Find a place to live that accepts pets.
3. If you search tings out there are many books that you may have never considered reading that may help you with your particular problem.
4. Try the internet it's filled with great ways in which to help you learn more about behavioral problems.

A little research and time can bring about wonderful changes for you and your companion. It's worth a lifetime of love for you and your pet.

" Even if you find a good first home, your companion animal's home may gradually worsen until he/she falls through the cracks altogether and is either mistreated or taken to the pound.
" There are NO long waiting lines of good homes waiting to adopt your older pet.
" You say your dog/cat is wonderful and deserves a really special home. Then try at all costs to keep your dog or cat.

It is virtually impossible and a long time process to find your dog or cat a GOOD permanent home.

"NEVER GIVE A DOG OR CAT AWAY "FREE TO A GOOD HOME"

"We Are Not Disposable"

Please keep in mind the following:

It is YOUR responsibility to find your dog or cat a good home, not a rescue agency.

1. Remember, your animal will NOT act as it does with you when placed in an environment it is not used to especially in a cage within the confines of an unfamiliar building.
2. Rescues are established to save dogs/cats that are in animal controls or shelters where a VERY HIGH PERCENT ARE DESTROYED.
3. Please spay or neuter your animal before placing it in a good home. There were 18 MILLION dogs euthanized not to mention how many cats within the last year.

SCREENING

If you are still determined to surrender your companion animal, at least try for the animals sake to find it a good home.

BE SMART - NEVER GIVE A DOG OR CAT AWAY "FREE TO A GOOD HOME" WHY?

" People who get something for nothing treat it like it's worth nothing.
" MORE IMPORTANTLY there are unscrupulous people that wait and wait for free animals. They present themselves as good and caring homes then sell your defenseless animal to a laboratory. It is a very big money making business.

Always charge at least $50 for your dog.
" God and screen prospective new homes
" Do they have a vet reference?
" Contact that vet to see if previous animals have been well cared for.
" Ask questions.
" Once you let your pet go it's too late.

MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND MAKE THE BEST CHOICE FOR YOU AND YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL.

REMEMBER CHECK OUT YOUR OPTIONS FIRST BEFORE YOU SURRENDER YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.
