The fastest way to rehome a rottweiler is to talk with people that you already know about adopting. When you have a friend or a family member who is looking to adopt a dog, there’s a chance they might want to adopt yours. This is especially true if they already know and get along well with your dog.
Of course, even if you’re rehoming with someone you know, you’ll still want to be sure they’re the right person. Take some time to think about your rottweiler and her personality.
She’s going to need to be walked and given plenty of exercise. Will the person adopting be capable of providing that for her? Does she get along well with cats and small dogs or not? If she doesn’t you wouldn’t want your friends with a house full of cats to adopt her. Does the person who wants to adopt her have the financial means to care for her properly. Always consider whether she’s going to the right home.
One of the benefits of rehoming with someone you already know is speed and ease. You can often move her into the new home in a day or less, and you can bring all of her toys, bedding, and other items.
Keep in mind that it’ll take her some time to get accustomed to her new home. She’s going to miss you because you’re all she’s known. Let the adopters know that it might take her some time to come around and become accustomed to living in her new home. In some cases, it might take just a few weeks. Other times, it could take several months. Each dog is different.
During this transition phase, you won’t want to visit their house, and you won’t want them to bring the dog to your house. Not because you won’t miss her, but because you don’t want her to become confused. Let her get fully situated in the new house and with the new family first, and even then, you’ll want to keep your visits short for a while.
When you rehome with someone you know, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that she’ll be safe and loved.
Many people won’t know someone personally who wants to adopt a dog. In those cases, you can find online pet adoption sites. You can use sites like Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet.com, which will make the process much easier. This is a peer-to-peer pet adoption service that allows you to easily connect with people looking to adopt by publishing your pet’s info directly onto Adopt-a-Pet.com.
You’ll create a profile for your rottweiler, which details all of the important information about her, both the good and bad. You can upload videos and photos, too. Then, adopters will peruse the site and if they’re interested, fill out an adoption application.
You can review applications and choose who will adopt your dog. This ensures that she gets to go to the best home for her, and it provides you with some closure and peace of mind.
