Assistance

Are there any resources (food, medical, behavioral or training) that could be provided so you could keep your pet? Please let us know at info@LulusLockerRescue.org.

​

Rehoming

If you adopted your pet from a rescue or shelter, contact them first as many organizations welcome their animal back.

It is best to get your pet spay/neutered and fully vaccinated. If this is something you are unable to do, please reach out to us for help. Make a list for the new owner of everything important about your pet. Make sure dogs have a collar and leash. Provide cats their litter box and scratching posts to help with transition.

• Places to list your pet for adoption: Share on social media with friends and family as well as on neighborhood group pages. Post Flyers locally. Adopt a Pet has an online adoption site for owners: https://rehome.adoptapet.com

• Making a Match: Ask questions to make sure your pet and the potential adopter are a match. Be sure to get their contact information and an address. You can ask for personal references to call. Make sure you are honest and transparent about any of your pet’s needs or history. If you have any questions about adoption processes, please let us know.
