You can give up your dog by bringing him or her to a shelter or rescue group for animals. It's crucial to understand what will happen if you give your pet to a shelter or rescue organization and to be aware that there are other options.
Most facilities demand a fee, and others don't accept walk-in surrenders. It's necessary to contact them in advance to find out the policies of the animal welfare organizations close to you because this differs by location.
The pet's future is out of your hands after you surrender them. Some pets are terrified of the surroundings in the shelter, which can make a typically well-behaved dog act aggressively out of fear.
Such conduct lessens the dog's chances of being adopted. The fortunate dogs will be placed in new homes, but you won't get to choose the kind of family that gets to adopt your pet.
Most often, the best choice, if you are prepared to put in the time, is to find a new home for your pet. Even though it may seem overwhelming, there are things you can do to make the process simpler and guarantee that your dog will be loved, protected, and cared for in his new home.
