Please try to find a home for your pet before taking him/her to a shelter or rescue.

You may list on petfinder.com under their free classified service.

You may post an ad in your local newspaper, feed store, veterinarian's office.

Should someone offer your pet a home, you should ask for a veterinarian reference.

Ask to deliver the pet so you may see where he/she will be living.

Your pet should be vaccinated & altered prior to you giving your pet to someone else.

You should also be aware that when you take your pet to a shelter, a home may not be found & your pet may be killed.
Does your faithful friend really deserve to die in the arms of strangers?
