What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
Owston is the sweetest boy, a 4yo male Shiba with a heart of gold. He is a goofy, affectionate, incredibly smart dog. He absolutely loves people-- snuggling, walking, playing, and making you laugh. He unfortunately is not getting along with my other dog any longer and is looking for a home where he can be the only pet.
Owston was my husband's dog before we met. He brought him out of a dark depression after his first bout with cancer. Unfortunately, my husband's cancer relapsed and he passed away in 2024. He was definitely Owston's *person*, and the loss combined with the many changes to Owston's routine worsened his reactive behaviors toward other dogs, that we'd worked so hard to train away.
It breaks my heart to be separated from him, but I believe Owston will truly flourish as someone's only pet. I would love to be able to receive occasional updates or photos-- he will always be my and my husband's baby boy. I only want what is best for him.
