Re-homing Assistance Packet
Dear Pet Guardian:
Enclosed is a packet of information to help you re-home your pet(s). You should find the following:
Information About Re-Homing
Providing alternatives to surrendering your pet to a shelter is the goal of this packet. These include re-homing
your pet from your home and obtaining behavior assistance from our trained staff, among other alternatives.
If after exhausting these options you still need to find another home for your pet, this packet contains
information to help you.
Re-Homing Service Information and Poster
Our re-homing service offers tools for you to find a responsible and loving family for your pet without causing
him or her the stress of entering the shelter system. The service is designed to help people whose pets are
already spayed or neutered. Having your pet neutered makes it easier to find him or her a new home and
improves his or her chance of forming a lasting and successful relationship with the new owner.
Sonoma Humane Society “Perfect Match” and Adopter Information
Our “Perfect Match” and Adoption Application forms are included to show you how to evaluate potential
adopters and give you guidance on the types of things to look for when finding your pet a new home on your
own.
Admissions Information
Once you have exhausted all the resources available through our re-homing service, you can call to make an
appointment to surrender your pet. The procedures for appointments and the waiting list are explained later
in this document on the Admissions Information page.
Sincerely,
Sonoma Humane Society Adoption Staff
Information About Re-Homing
Sonoma Humane Society seeks to provide alternatives to pet relinquishment. Sonoma Humane Society and
other shelters in the area take in anywhere from 20-100 animals a day during our busy months. If you plan to turn
your own animal in at a shelter, please reconsider.
Sonoma Humane Society has the following resources available to assist you with keeping your family pet:
Re-Homing
Ask around to see if you know anyone (friends, family, co-workers, etc.) who is looking for a new pet, or take
advantage of free resources such as the Re-Homing Blog on our website. It is better for your pet if you are able to
re-home him or her yourself. The shelter can be a very stressful environment.
Pet Behavior Help
For help with behavior issues and concerns, call (707) 542-0882 ext. 233 or email
behaviorandtraining@sonomahumane.org. Trained staff will contact you within 2 business days.
Pet Manners Classes
Ask how to sign up for a class specifically designed to help great pets who have minor challenges. Visit
www.sonomahumane.org/public-training for a listing of classes offered by our Behavior and Training
Department.
Low-Cost, Full-Serve Veterinary Care
Sonoma Humane Society’s Veterinary Care Center provides full-service veterinary care. Our clinic offers “Love Me,
Fix Me”, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic. For information please visit http://sonomahumanevet.org
Foster Care
If you are surrendering a sick animal or a mom and her litter, are you willing to keep the pet until he or she is well
or the litter until it is old enough to be spayed or neutered? Join our Foster program. We provide all the food,
medications and vaccinations. When they are ready to be spayed or neutered, we’ll provide the surgery and place
them in our adoption program.
Trap-Neuter-Return for Feral Cats
If you have feral (unsocialized) cats in your neighborhood, visit Forgotten Felines online at
www.forgottenfeline.com/v4/feral for information about trap-neuter-return. Forgotten Felines can answer all
your questions about TNR and spay/neuter and will provide you with additional information and literature
regarding trapping, caretaking, and the protocols for using their services. Call (707) 576-7999 or email
ffscjk@sonic.net
Sonoma Humane Society accepts pet from their owner by appointment only. For additional information or to
schedule an appointment, please call (707) 542-0882. Trained staff will contact you within two business days.
Sonoma Humane Society Re-Homing Service
Consider finding your dog or cat another home instead of surrendering him or her to a shelter because it will
be less stressful for your animal, allows you to play a part in uniting him with a new family, and makes
additional space available for animals whose lives are immediately at risk in surrounding municipal shelters.
Before you start looking for a new home for your pet, consider the following:
Get help with behavior problems such as chewing, housebreaking challenges, excessive energy, etc. Go to
www.sonomahumane.org/public-training or call (707) 542-0882 ext. 233 and our trained staff will give you
the information or referrals you need to resolve the issue. By working to solve behavior problems before you
find your pet a new home, you’ll ensure a good, lasting home for your pet.
You do not have to give up your pet just because you’re moving. Moving is stressful even in the best of
circumstances, so give yourself extra time to find a residence where pets are permitted. When talking to
landlords, be honest and offer to introduce your pet(s) to the landlord. Many property owners will allow wellbehaved pets, particularly if the owner behaves responsibly. Providing your pet’s veterinary records,
graduation certificate(s) from obedience classes and references from past landlords can help to show a
prospective landlord you are a responsible pet owner.
Sonoma Humane Society can help you find the right home through our re-homing service
First, be sure your pet is spayed or neutered and is up-to-date on all of his or her vaccinations. This will make it
easier for you to find a new home for your pet and is a requirement for posting. Next, follow these guidelines.
Be thorough and patient – finding the right home takes time, but it’s worth it for your sake and the sake of
your pet.
•
Take several color photos of your pet. Show off your pet’s cutest and most endearing qualities.
•
Write a story about your pet. Include the reason your pet needs a new home, the kind of home he or
she needs and would do well in, and some “human interest” information – for example, your pet’s
funniest behaviors, his/her favorite things to do, or the thing you love most about your pet. Many
people write the story from the animals perspective, for example, “Hi, my name is Midnight…”
•
Rehome your pet on our website. Submit a photo and a brief story of your pet at
www.sonomahumane.org/adopt/adoptions-owner . Interested persons will contact you to learn more
about your animal. Pets will remain on the website for at least 90 days. You will be responsible for
contacting us at (707) 542-0882 once your pet has been adopted. All pets must be spayed or neutered
to be posted on the website.
•
Email out to friends, family or co-workers. Give your photos, story and email to everyone you know
asking for their help. Advertise through your workplace email or your community bulletin board.
Placing your pet with someone you know will ease the transition for you, the new owner and your pet.
•
Make a re-homing poster. Use the Sonoma Humane Society re-homing template included in this
packet as a guideline. Make several photocopies of the poster and then attach an original photo to
each poster. Place the re-homing posters in veterinary offices and pet supply stores near and far,
where people who take good care of their animals visit often.
•
Charge a fee. Most people who want a pet for the right reasons are happy to pay a modest adoption
fee.
•
Advertise. Place an ad in your local newspaper, listing the most important characteristics about your
pet and the kind of home your pet needs. This will cost a little more, but will save you time and
aggravation evaluating the applicant. Advertisements with photos get more attention.
Helpful hints on evaluating potential adopters:
•
•
•
•
•
Interview potential adopters carefully. Use the adoption application we have provided as a guide.
Review the “Meet Your Match” form. Go over this document with each applicant to see if the
applicant’s lifestyle is compatible with your pet. Does your pet fight with cats? Is your pet high or low
energy? Make sure he/she fits into the lifestyle of the applicant’s family, and your pet is what they’re
really looking for.
Along with the adoption application, you might consider the following in order to ascertain
additional information (please note that with respect to some of these items, an open and honest
discussion will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision regarding
your pet’s placement):
o Verify the name and address with a driver’s license.
o Call the person’s landlord and make sure he/she has permission to have a pet.
o Ask to see the person’s veterinary records on all his/her current or past pets to see if he/she
takes good care of animals.
o Get references (friends, neighbors), and call to see if they can vouch for the person’s ability to
care for animals.
Take the time to consider applicants. Don’t allow yourself to be pressured into making a decision that
you do not feel right about. Your judgment is your best guide.
Follow up. Call to see how your pet is doing in his/her new home. A responsible owner will welcome
your concern for the animal.

Admissions Information
What To Do If You Need To Surrender Your Pet:
You have a number of choices, the last of which should be surrendering your pet to a shelter. If you have
exhausted alternatives to relinquishment (including trying to work through challenges, or trying to find a new
home for your pet yourself with friends, neighbors, family or co-workers), here is how our admissions process
works.
What You Should Expect:
Please understand that as a no-kill shelter, Sonoma Humane Society cannot accept every animal brought to
our shelter immediately. We treat every animal’s life as precious and will not resort to euthanasia to control
the number of pets at our facility. Therefore, we will accept the surrender of owned cats and dogs by
appointment only as space allows. We do charge a modest surrender fee for dogs and cats which will be
applied to the costs we will incur providing care to the pet.
How The Process Works:
Each day Sonoma Humane Society Adoption Staff assess the amount of space available in the shelter as
animals find homes through our Adoption Center. Based on the number of adoptions and available cages and
kennels, a staff member will call you based upon your order on our waiting list to schedule appointments for
the week. Appointments are scheduled Tuesday through Friday 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Each appointment
should take approximately 30 minutes. You should obtain surrender forms from our website ahead of time. (A
questionnaire pertaining to your dog’s behavior or your cat’s medical history will be given as well.)
Dogs over 6 years old and cats over 8 years old will need to have blood work done ahead of time. The fee is
$80. Your pet’s acceptance hinges upon a healthy blood panel. Please arrange for the blood work prior to your
surrender appointment.
If an Adoption Staff member leaves a message, we must hear back from you within 48 hours to confirm that
you still need our services. Leaving a voicemail is considered confirmation. If we are unable to contact you or
you do not return our message within 48 hours of our initial call, we will leave your name on our waiting list,
but will contact the next person to bring in his pet for the available space. The goal of this process is to have
available spaces filled as quickly as possible, keeping spaces from standing empty and maximizing our
lifesaving capacity.
What To Bring With You:
•
•
•
•
All veterinary records
Your pet’s medications (if any)
Completed surrender paperwork. Please obtain and complete surrender forms ahead of time to make
the appointment process easier.
Please understand that any of your pet’s belongings from home such as blankets, toys and food, may
be donated and will not follow your pet through the adoption process.
For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be leashed and all cats must be in a carrier.
What To Do When You Arrive:
•
•
•
A staff member will evaluate the behavior of your pet.
Once your pet has been evaluated and Sonoma Humane Society decides to take your pet into its care,
your surrender fee will be collected. The surrender fee is usually $40 (exceptions may apply for litters
of infant animals). Accepted forms of payment are cash or credit/debit card.
An appointment for evaluation does not guarantee that Sonoma Humane Society will be in a position
to take your pet into its care.
What To Do If You Need To Surrender Your Pet Today:
Sonoma Humane Society urges you not to surrender your pet to a shelter. A shelter should always be your
very last resort. If you are unwilling to wait for an appointment at our shelter, you may contact the local
animal control agency in your jurisdiction to inquire about their surrender process. You may also want to ask
questions related to their adoption and euthanasia practices for owned animals.
