<h2>Rehoming process</h2><p>It can be a difficult decision to rehome your dog, and we know you would like peace of mind that your dog will find a safe, happy home. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with a little help in this process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Step 1:</h3><p>Please <strong>DO NOT PLACE AN ADVERTISEMENT</strong> on Craig’s List or otherwise, as people with harmful intensions sometimes look there for free or low-cost animals.</p><h3>Step 2:</h3><p>Contact your local humane society or shelter to ask about their process for intakes. You may be asked to bring your dog in so they can assess his or her behavior, just so they can match your dog with the best home based on your dog’s unique personality and needs.&nbsp;<br>In Oregon and Southwest Washington, we are fortunate to have several local rescues, humane societies and shelters with very high save rates.&nbsp;<br>Since most do not euthanize based on space, sometimes the wait list for these locations is long, but truly is the very best place for your dog.&nbsp;<br>Fences For Fido maintains a list of these resources at:&nbsp;<br><a href="https://www.FencesForFido.org/clients/shelters">www.FencesForFido.org/clients/shelters</a></p><h3>Step 3:</h3><p>Depending on the wait list, you may need to wait several days or weeks to return when they have space for your dog, but please understand that this is for the best, knowing that they do not euthanize based on space.&nbsp;<br><br>Please email clients@fencesforfido.org if we can be of assistance and to keep us updated. We know this is an emotional decision, so please consider us as a resource and friend during this process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
