Rehoming support

When keeping your dog is no longer possible.

Circumstances change. Asking for help does not mean you stopped loving your dog. Contacting RRLA early gives us more time to understand the situation and explore responsible options.

How it works

A careful process for you and your dog

01

Tell us what is happening

Share your dog’s background, health, behavior and why rehoming is needed.

02

RRLA reviews the request

We look at the information provided and may contact you for clarification or additional records.

03

We discuss next steps

Depending on the circumstances and available resources, we explain what support or next steps may be possible.

What we need to know

The more complete the information, the better we can understand your dog.

Please answer honestly. The goal is not to judge your situation—it is to understand the dog and make responsible decisions.

  • Basic information and ownership history
  • Veterinary history, medication and medical conditions
  • Behavior with adults, children, dogs, cats and strangers
  • Training, house/crate training and behavioral concerns
  • Reason for rehoming and level of urgency
  • Recent photographs and available veterinary documents

A responsible first step

Please do not wait until the last possible day.

If you know your circumstances are changing, reaching out early gives everyone more options. Please provide accurate information and do not omit medical or behavioral history.
