You can find a good home for your Great Dane when you take the time to rehome your dog yourself rather than surrendering to a shelter or a rescue. Although the rescues and shelters can prove helpful to people who don’t have any other options available, spending some time and effort on the rehoming process can provide you with more peace of mind. Let’s look at some of the different things you’ll want to do when you’re searching for a great new home for your sweet Great Dane.
The first and most important thing you need to do when you’re searching for a good home for your Great Dane is to think about their needs. Your dog needs more than just a place to stay and a new owner. They need the right new owner that can provide them with the type of care that’s needed. Perhaps you need to find an owner that is willing to put in the time needed to train your dog to get over behavior issues. Maybe you need an owner that doesn’t have cats in the house.
You know what your dog likes and doesn’t like. You know their health issues, their diet, and everything else about them. You’ll therefore need to find an owner that can meet their needs. This is how you’ll find a good home for your dog.
An easy way to find a good home for your dog might be to talk with people you already know. You might find one or more family members or friends that would like the opportunity to adopt your Great Dane. This can be a good solution since you already know the people and can trust them. It also means you’ll have a better sense of whether they’ll be the right choice for your dog or not.
You’ll notice that many people charge rehoming fees for their dogs, and you might wonder why. Owners aren’t trying to make a lot of money by selling their dogs. Most are just like you and never imagined they would have to give up their dog. It breaks their heart. The rehoming fees are used to help eliminate certain types of people with bad intentions from adopting. Some people, for example, look for free dogs online or in their area that they can then sell to labs. Charging a rehoming fee provides some safety for your dog.
Another way to find a good home for your Great Dane is to use a pet adoption site like Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet. Through the site, you can add videos, photos, and a bio for your dog. Once you’re all set up you’ll be able to publish your pet’s profile directly on Adopt-a-Pet for millions of potential adopters to see. If they like your dog, they can apply to adopt and the experts at Rehome will provide you with tips on how to pick the right new owner. You’ll then check their application to see if they’ll be a good fit and complete an adoption contract. This is free for owners, and the adopters only pay a small rehoming fee if they adopt.
