Rehoming
If rehoming is REALLY your last resort, read below for a DIY (do it yourself) approach.
We are all very busy and always full. Below is a list of everything we do, so you can do it yourself.
We are a foster based rescue organization. We don't have a shelter. All our dogs are being cared for in temporary foster homes.
Post your dog on the free rehoming Facebook groups and do a backgrround check and interview potential adopters.

DIY Re-homing
Be HONEST when discussing rehoming with new owners about the reason (barking, nipping, urinating, etc.) why you are rehoming your dog.
(1) Reach out to FRIENDS and FAMILY, post it on your Facebook!
They know you best and you wouldn't lie to them or put them in harms way. Be honest and explain the issues / reason why you want to re-home your dog.
(2) Post it on Facebook Pet Rehoming groups and local town groups.
(Example search FREE PETS CT on Facebook) Again be HONEST about the issues you believe the dog has. After you get a candidate, do an interview, visit their home, do some social media check and background check.
(3) Try ADOPT A PET REHOMING TOOL

(4) If you have a dangerous dog, discuss it with your vet.
Passing along an aggressive dog won't do anybody any good.
