finding homes for homeless pets
Has something happened in your life and you can no longer take care of your pet? Or perhaps you have found a stray or abandoned cat or dog and are committed to finding a great new home. Whatever your situation, we are here to help!
The BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY (www.bestfriends.org) offers great resources for helping owners and private rescuers to find new homes for pets that need them; click here and download a PDF that will walk you through the process from start to finish!
As a part of that process, PET Projects is pleased to offer free advertising through Petfinder.com and our website (which receives around 1000 visitors per month!) for pets in Shelburne County. If you’d like to take advantage of this service, please email newhomes@petprojects.ca with:
- A detailed description, including the name, age, sex, temperament and health (spayed/neutered, treated for fleas/worms, vaccinations etc.) of the pet.
- The pet’s experience and how well it interacts with other cats, dogs, and children.
- Where the pet came from, and why it needs a new home.
- Your general location and contact information. Potential adopters will contact you directly; the Bestfriends.org document above has great tips for making sure your furry friend finds a safe and loving home!
- Up to 3 digital images of each animal; cropped close-ups work best, and of course the cuter the better!
When the pet is adopted, please drop us an email so that we can remove the posting from our website, and so that we can celebrate with you! Best of luck finding a new home for your furry friend, and let us know if there’s anything more we can do to help!
