Rehoming Assistance

I know how difficult it can be to find a new home for a pet, especially since many rescues right now aren’t able to take in owner surrenders. I volunteer with a couple of rescues and am familiar with the adoption process, so I’d love to help make sure your dog finds a safe and loving home.

The first step is seeing if a rescue is able take your dog. I can provide you with a list of reputable rescues and even reach out to them on your behalf. If no rescues are able to step in, I can help with the next steps in rehoming. Please note that when a rescue or shelter describes itself as no-kill, that typically means it saves at least 90% of the animals in its care. Up to 10% may still be euthanized.

While I’m not a rescue myself and can’t provide veterinary care, I can support you in other ways, like helping with an adoption application, screening potential adopters (including vet and personal reference checks), doing internet background searches, and setting up virtual home visits. I can also help get the word out by creating a detailed bio, photo collages, and even a YouTube video to showcase your pet.

Priority is given to senior and special needs dogs. 

How it works:

We’ll chat over the phone so you can tell me about your situation and your dog.

You’ll provide photos of your dog (and videos, if needed).

I’ll use the information you share to craft a personalized biography for your dog.

I’ll send you the completed biography along with edited photos for your review, and if I’m creating an adoption video, I’ll include that too. I’ll take care of posting everything on social media and RescueMe.org, and you can share on your own social media if you’d like. 

Once your posts are live, you can handle the initial adoption inquiries and collect completed applications, or I can do it for you. I’ll then screen the applications thoroughly. 

I’ll stay in touch throughout the process, keeping you updated every step of the way and making sure you feel supported. 

I’m here to provide as much or as little help as you need.

In order for me to create the biography for your dog, please provide the following details:

• Name, Age, Breed, Weight

• Are they spayed or neutered?

• Are they up to date on shots?

• Any known medical issues?

• How do they get along with other dogs?

• How do they do with cats?

• How do they behave around children?

• How are they with strangers?

• Are they house trained?

• Personality traits and quirks (Do they dance for food, spin when happy, love toys? What are their likes and dislikes?)

• Do they enjoy walks? How do they behave on a leash?

• Do they like to play or roam in a fenced-in yard? Is a fenced yard a must?

Feel free to add any other details you think someone adopting your dog would want to know.

You can email this information to me at srdogsrock@gmail.com and I will create the biography.  Once it's ready, I will send it to you for posting along with photos on social media and on the Rescue Me website below.  I can post it on the Rescue Me site for you, if you prefer.

Senior Dogs Rock helps dog owners connect with rescues and potential adopters. I do not take ownership, collect fees, or act as a rescue. All information comes from the owners, who make the final adoption decisions. I create and share posts and videos, connect owners with rescues and adopters, screen potential adopters, and offer options, advice, and guidance to support owners in making the best choices for their dogs. I am not responsible for the accuracy of owner-provided information or adoption outcomes. Senior Dogs Rock is not a registered business or rescue; I assist as an individual.
