It was a friend of a friend. Have you tried reaching out to friends/co-workers to see if someone in your extended network would be a good fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2321043 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:43:33 +0000 Happygal 2321043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry this is the situation you're facing. It's stressful. I know a handful of friends who have had to deal with this once a baby arrives b/c the dog is miserable from anxiety and cannot be trusted around the child. They seem to have had the best luck by putting the word out amongst friends and rehoming through word of mouth. In a more urgent situation, I'd look for a breed specific rescue that fosters dogs until they are placed in homes. I'd also check with the vet for ideas. Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320488 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 23:31:48 +0000 sometimesshesings 2320488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Craigslist to *find* a pup to rehome. We submitted a "want ad" with a description of ourselves and the dog personality we were hoping to find. Our dog's previous owner (who hadn't put up his own Craigslist ad) contacted us saying he had the exact pup we were looking for. We met up at a neutral spot (a dog park), and the rest is history. She's been with us for over four years now. I wouldn't completely write off Craigslist. We tried visiting shelters first, but we were having trouble finding the right fit. Our Craigslist ad allowed us to connect to someone with just the dog we needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320427 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 22:20:12 +0000 LindsayLou 2320427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did use craigslist. I was cautious and picky about who I even emailed back before having anyone meet her. After emailing back and forth about everything I could think of about the dog and why we were rejoining her, and the potential new family, they came to meet her. They met her, we discussed and they returned several days later to take her home. I was wary but it was a good experience for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320389 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:57:16 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2320389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were trying and found it very hard (and gave up). Ours is a rescue and they don't take dogs back. The vet was a blank. I've heard of a few online sites maybe petfinder? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320373 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:41:21 +0000 Mamasig 2320373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I originally got her from a rescue group and I contacted them. I would also ask around at the vet's office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320365 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:36:49 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2320365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also recommend contacting a rescue group. Try for breed specific as well (we did dachshund rescue for our mix) and they put posts up on their Facebook page. Our sweet girl (she spontaneously got an extreme health condition that led to instant blindness and need for removal of her eyes) was able to find a home with a family who devotes their lives to dogs in need. It was a very tough decision but she does great at her new home (I FB friended her new mum). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320348 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:21:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 2320348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try contacting a local rescue group. I would highly advise against rehoming on Craigslist ... So many horror stories :T </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320344 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:14:28 +0000 runnerd 2320344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: thanks! I'll look into that! We definitely plan to keep him until new home is found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320327 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:53:20 +0000 Tanjowen 2320327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know our local rescue group will let you come on the weekends to their events to let you try to rehome and adopt the pet out (they won't take them in though). It's the best way because they will do home visits and you get to meet them and get a "feel" for them. </p> <p> It's a tough thing -I was really worried about one of my rescues, but thankfully she has done amazing My sister gave her dog to her MIL after he snapped at my nephew. You have to do what is best and safest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-rehome-your-dog#post-2320303 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:33:31 +0000 runnerd 2320303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Without going into explicit, mind-numbing detail, after 15 months of stress, we have decided to rehome one of our two dachshund mixes. Neither love our LO, but the one to be rehomed shows the more aggressive behavior. He must go to a home without children.</p> <p>How did you rehome your dog? All details for advertising, interviewing, and making the transition welcome! </p>
