How Do I Find a Good Home for My Chihuahua?

If you’re asking, “How do I find a good home for my Chihuahua?” you may be in a situation where you can no longer keep your pet and are looking into rehoming your dog yourself rather than surrendering them to a shelter. This is a kind and responsible choice that gives your pet the best chance at a happy home and reduces the stress for both you and your pet. Finding the right home takes time, but resources like Rehome by Adopt a Pet can guide you through the process. The peer-to-peer service provides expert advice and allows potential adopters to find your pet.

Finding a good home for your Chihuahua

You’re not looking for just any home; you’re looking for the right home. This means it could take some time to find the perfect family. One key is getting your dog in front of as many potential adopters as possible.

On Rehome, you’ll be able to create a profile that highlights all the good things about your Chihuahua and help millions see them as pets in the Rehome program appear in Adopt a Pet’s pet listings. You can even add a video to help make them irresistible to those looking for a small dog. When a potential adopter finds your Chihuahua’s profile, they can communicate with you right through the site. 

Of course, not everyone who applies is going to be the right fit. It’s important to know what to look for in an adopter.

Here are some things to consider:

• Is your dog good around kids and other pets?

• How much time does the new family spend away each day?

• Do they have good vet and personal references?

• Are they willing to pay a rehoming fee?

• Do they have a safe outdoor space?

• Do they have experience with Chihuahuas?

• Are they willing to do a meet and greet? 

All these questions are included in every Rehome application so you can focus on finding potential adopters with the right qualities and not have to worry about forgetting an important question. You won’t regret taking the extra time to find the perfect situation for your Chihuahua. Doing so will give you peace of mind and will give your pet the best chance at a happy life.
