  • 1.  How do you surrender a dog that we adopted from a kill shelter when no rescue org. will take her?

    Posted 05-01-2019 10:37 AM

    My Husband and I adopted a dog from a shelter who's time was up.  We have had her for 5 months and she is amazing.  We have two other small rescues that are now old and toothless and our new dog Elle does not like them and they are terrified of her.  We need to find her a forever home with someone that will love her like we do.  80% of the no-kill shelters have responded to my plea for help and the other 20% don't have room.  I have reached out to everyone I know because she would be the best companion.  I don't know what to do as I need to remove her from my home before something happens to my other rescue dogs.  Who should I contact to help me find her a foster or forever home?  Please help.    http://post.rescueme.org/19-05-01-00160

    I meant to say that 80% of the rescues have not responded to me.

    Is it right that you are in Maricopa County? According to their website, they have a 94% live release rate. It also looks like they have a foster program. Maybe this is an option for you?

    Hi Elle's mom,

    I recommend posting her for adoption on rehome.adoptapet.com. Its a website where you can find a new home for her yourself, and it offers tips for helping to find her home. And look at your local shelters to see if they are willing to post her info or help you find a home for her.

    In the meantime, if she's not getting along with your dogs you should keep her separated from them.
