Rehoming your dog or cat is more popular than it’s ever been
It seems that the animal rescue world is a buzz with a new concept called rehoming. What’s rehoming you might ask? It’s when a pet owner needs to find a new forever home for their cat or dog and instead of going to surrender the animal at their local animal shelter, they instead rehome the animal to find them a new place to crash on the couch.Why is rehoming more popular these days?
The logical question to ask is what has changed in the last few years to make rehoming more of a mainstay and socially acceptable thing to do. All of the major pet adoption websites feature it, and there is even an uptick of animal shelters and rescues across the country embracing the concept. Rehoming isn’t a new concept, and people have been rehoming their animals for many years but there’s a few key reasons why the trend is suddenly being thrust into the spotlight.Technology is bringing rehoming to a browser near you
So many things are being disrupted by technology these days and rehoming is another one you can add to the list. What started as a trend on Craigslist.com when people started posting for new homes for their pets, has evolved into mainstream platforms like PetFinder, Adopt a pet and many others supporting the concept.
