Pet Classifieds: A Better Way to Rehome a Pet

You know how you’re always seeing pets posted as “free to good home” on community sites like Craigslist and Nextdoor and you find yourself thinking that these vulnerable pets could easily end up in the wrong hands? We think about this too and want to help struggling pet owners find new homes for their best friends in a way that is safe and reliable, by directing them to Rehome instead.

1. Head over to Facebook groups, Craigslist, NextDoor, or any other site you’ve seen with “free to a good home” posts.

2. Reply to the posts with a link to Rehome

3. You can copy and paste the following text:
