Our dog kennels are FULL so we are asking owners to help us keep dogs out of the shelter. Here are some tips on rehoming your pet safely without bringing them to the shelter.
📓Don't forget, with GoodPup you can get your first week of one-on-one dog training for FREE when you sign up at https://links.goodpup.com/shelter/HSStJoseph
• If you are needing to rehome your pet due to housing conflicts (pricey pet fees, no pet or certain breed policies), your animal may qualify as an Emotional Support Animal and be protected under ADA & FHA laws. For more information, please visit https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/assistance_animals
• More information on ESA can be found at https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/fair-housing-act-and-assistance-animals
• Discuss any behavior issues and training with your veterinarian. They may offer training classes or have a trainer they can refer you to. Your veterinarian may also be able to prescribe medication to help with anxiety, if needed.
• Visit our website for a library of training resources: https://humanesocietystjc.org/pet-behavior-training/
• If you need help with pet food or a crate, please let us know. We have a free food bank program and crates to loan out.
• If the animal was obtained from another rescue, breeder, family member or friend, reach back out to them for assistance. In most cases, rescues will take back the pet you adopted from them.
• If you are unable to work through the issues with your pet and decide to rehome, reach out to trusted family members, friends, and co-workers to see if anyone would be willing to take on your dog or if they know anyone looking for a pet.
• Place your dog up for adoption yourself via Adopt-a-Pet Rehome: https://rehome.adoptapet.com/
