The best way to rehome your English Bulldog is by researching your prospects and finding the best new owner out of the potential candidates. Although doing this on your own will take some additional time when compared with surrendering your dog, many find it preferable. It allows to you be sure that they’ll be going to a safe home where they’ll be loved.

When you surrender your dog to a shelter or rescue, they’ll try their best to find a new home for them, but it’s not guaranteed. You want to be sure that your English Bulldog gets the treatment that they deserve. Here are some of the options and things to keep in mind.

Your dog has unique needs 

Even dogs of the same breed will have vastly different personalities and different needs. You want to be sure that you understand what they need. Maybe it’s a dietary restriction that needs to be maintained, a temperamental issue, or anything else that the new owner would need to know about regarding your dog.

All dogs are different, and adopters should have a good sense of what they’re bringing home when they adopt your English Bulldog, both the good and the bad. It’s also easier for you to be sure that you’re letting the right person adopt.

Rehoming options online

You’ll find a range of rehoming options on the Internet, but you have to be careful about which ones you choose. It’s always a good idea to work with a reputable site, like Rehome from Adopt-a-Pet. The platform makes it easier for owners to connect with people looking to adopt dogs like theirs. You’ll build a profile for your English Bulldog that has pictures, videos (if you have them), and a bio. The bio is the perfect place to put all of the most important information the adopter will need to know.

You have the opportunity to review the applications and choose the best fit for your dog. It’s nice to have full control over who gets to adopt them.

Another one of the benefits of using Rehome is that it’s free to owners like you. The adopters will only have to pay a small rehoming fee that goes back into getting other animals adopted. The rehoming fee is also important because it shows that someone is willing to invest in your dog. The fee also helps to reduce the risk of someone getting the dog to sell to a lab or to use for fighting. People with bad intentions don’t want to put out money for the animals they get.

Rehoming with people you know

Of course, you might be lucky enough to know someone that has been looking to adopt a dog. Maybe a sibling or a friend of yours has mentioned wanting to get a dog and would be a good fit for your English Bulldog. If that’s the case, consider asking them if they might like to adopt. If you feel they would be a good owner, it might be a perfect way to rehome your dog quickly. It’s even better if they already know and love your English Bulldog.
