We have one too many dogs that our lease aggreement does not allow. I am looking for some type of program that can help me place my beloved pet to a good and caring family. If someone could help with information about such a program it would truly be appreciated.

Humane society, breed rescue, animal shelter. Look for a no kill. They may charge you to take the dog, but you'll be assured the dog is going to a good home. Don't advertise in the paper...you likely won't be able to screen potential new homes as well as they can (they've been doing it for a long time and know what to look for)

If your dog is a purebred or recognizably of a breed, there's probably a rescue program that you can contact. For instance, there are Lab Rescue programs and Poodle rescue (google your dog's breed). These programs usually have a "rehome" program, and they will screen families for you (ensuring that they are allowed to have dogs, that they have a fenced yard, etc). Otherwise, you can place your dog in a no-kill shelter (like a private one or humane society) where they do a pretty thorough job of vetting inquiries and finding an appropriate home. Good luck!

remember it incredibly is larger dogs are what you like there are some massive breeds that do great in residences or townhomes. Like suggested already gray hounds are outstanding dogs and do ok in townhomes. even even with the undeniable fact that they are extensive danes actually do rather properly too. So do newfies, mastiffs, wolf hounds, deerhounds, goldens, dobies etc. as long as those dogs get a good on a regular basis walk they are wonderful in townhomes. dodge terriers, hearding dogs and maximum hounds(a number of the sight hounds like those suggested are wonderful). the biggest suggestion I even have is undertake an grownup 2 years plus this might help with education and the dogs would be previous the domestic dog degree. I agree that going with a rescue that fosters is the perfect thank you to have an theory of what you're getting. As for medium dogs back dodge extreme potential dogs. dogs like whippets, bassets, etc are good. For little dogs individually no longer a extensive fan yet i visit assert our doxie is the perfect little dogs. She does each and every thing we do. Hikes, camping out, swimming, fishing. She is incredibly greater healthful or maybe did a 10mile hike without issues. So in case you gotta go small i might go doxie. good success. attempt petfinder to help discover greater community rescues.

I'm so sorry that you have to give up your dog. Maybe if you call the Humane Society in the County where you live, they can give you a list of organizations that could assist you. Good luck.

Contact your local shelter and be prepared to pay a drop off fee.
DO NOT give your dog to a kill shelter. Especially not an animal control. Some of them can kill your owner surrendered dog before you even leave the property.

Sorry I don't know of any programs, but I transport dog & cats on my spare time. If you email me I might be able to relocate your dog to a wanting family. I live in NY.

I'd start with calling my Vet. They should be able to help you, either by finding someone to take your pet, or suggest a program to take him/her. Good Luck! That's a real shame and a personal hardship.

well where i live, if you take it to like PetCo or PetSmart, they let you fill this thing out, and you can put on there, like i couldnt keep the dog or cat because i moved, or whatever the reason, and then just put like its a good dog, but we just couldnt keep it anymore, and then also, you can put on there like specifications on what kind of a home it needs to be adopted it, like no kids no cats, no other dogs etc....
good luck!
