You can find a good home for your Rottweiler when you take the time to rehome her yourself. Rehoming will take longer than setting up an appointment at a shelter, but it ensures that your dog will be going to a good home where she’ll be loved. Let’s look at some of the most important things that you’ll need to think about when rehoming to ensure that she has a wonderful new home.
Your Dog’s Personality and Needs
This is one of the most important parts of finding an ideal home for your Rottweiler. Every dog has a unique personality, and you know your dog better than anyone else. You certainly know her better than people who are considering adopting her.
You know all of the funny things she does and the quirks she has. You know whether she’s afraid of cats and whether she doesn’t like riding in the car. You know that she loves the beach. You know her needs. Instead of just choosing the first person who wants to adopt your Rottweiler, you need to be sure that their personality and lifestyle will mesh well with her.
Make sure they can provide her with the exercise she needs. If she has any medical issues, make sure the adopter is aware and that they’re committed to ensuring she stays in good health.
The Potential Adopter’s Home
While you don’t have to visit the adopter’s home, you’ll want to know a bit about it. Is there a yard for her? If not, will they be able to walk her daily? Are there kids or other pets in the house? Does your dog get along with other pets? If she doesn’t, you don’t want her going to a home that has cats or other dogs.
The reason you need to be particular when you’re rehoming your dog is so that you find an adopter who will love and cherish her as much as you do. If you aren’t honest about your dog’s personality and needs, the adopter might not be able to keep her. They might have to give her up, too, and that’s the last thing you want.
Make Finding an Adopter Easier with Rehome
A good way to make the entire process easier is to use the Rehome peer-to-peer pet adoption platform. This site is a part of Adopt-a-Pet.com, and it allows you to create a profile for your dog. You can fill out the profile to add plenty of information about her personality, and all of the good and not-so-good things about her. This ensures the potential adopters have a clear picture of whether she’ll be right for their home or not. Of course, you can also add some photos and videos to the profile.
When people start to submit adoption applications, you’ll go through them and determine which one will be the best home for your Rottweiler. This is a safe and effective way of finding a loving family for your Rottweiler.
