We receive calls every day from people who can no longer keep their pets. We understand it is a very difficult decision to relinquish your pet. DAWG can assist you in finding a new home for your pet by advertising them on all our platforms.


An alternative is the Adopt-a-Pet Rehome program sponsored by Petco. By listing your pet with this program, your pet will appear online through Adopt-a-Pet and receive a lot of exposure. You will be able to review adoption applications and select the best new home for your pet, and DAWG will receive a donation for every pet placed through the program.
