Finding a New Home for Your Pet

Even committed pet owners face circumstances where they can no longer care for a pet. There are several resources that can help find a new home for your companion animal.

  • Some pet stores will accept animals purchased there.
  • Local aquarium, bird, or reptile clubs may place your pet with an experienced keepers.
  • Some states and communities sponsor adoption events for non-traditional companion animals where these pets are placed with qualified owners.
  • A knowledgeable friend or family member may have a place for your pet
  • Some schools encourage pets in the classroom as a teaching tool.

Habitattitude does not have its own program to place pets with new owners, but check the In the News page for information about upcoming adoption events.

In most cases, these resources will find a caring home for your pet. If you cannot place your pet through these channels, you may wish to consult a veterinarian for guidance on the difficult and courageous decision of humane euthanasia.
