Our Rehoming Program
Passion for Paws Rehoming Program: Ensuring Success and Wellbeing for Dogs
At Passion for Paws, our rehoming program is designed with the utmost care and dedication to ensure the success and wellbeing of every dog that enters our program. We understand that parting with your furry friend can be an emotional and difficult decision. That's why we've developed a program that puts your dog's needs front and center, ensuring they experience a seamless and stress-free transition to their new home. We believe that finding the right forever home is crucial for a dog's happiness and overall quality of life. Therefore, we have established a set of comprehensive procedures that are meticulously followed to guarantee the best outcome for our furry friends.
Why you should choose our rehoming program:
No Shelter Environment
Unlike traditional rehoming methods, we completely eliminate the shelter experience. Instead, we match your dog with carefully screened and loving foster families until we find their forever home, without the need for a temporary shelter stay.
Comprehensive Screening Process
Our dedicated team invests considerable time and effort into thoroughly vetting potential adopters. We prioritize finding the perfect match based on your dog's profile. Our screening process includes adoption forms, interviews, reference checks, home visits and meetings before any decision is made. Our 30 day foster to adopt period also ensures your dog is placed in a home that is ideal for them.
Personalized Matching
We believe that each dog is a unique individual, deserving of a tailored and loving home. Our team takes the time to understand your dog's temperament, activity level, and compatibility requirements to find the perfect match. By considering these factors, we ensure a smooth transition for your dog and provide a forever home designed to suit their specific needs.
Adoption Support
We don't stop our support once the adoption is finalized. We provide ongoing guidance and resources to both the adopters and your dog, ensuring a seamless transition and a happy, lasting relationship. We offer an adoption package, advice on training, health care, and behaviour to help the new owners provide the best possible care for your beloved friend.
