Re-homing a Pet

When You Can’t Keep Your Pet – Tips & Resources for Finding the Right Home

We know how heartbreaking it can be to consider giving up a pet. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way—an illness, a move, a change in family circumstances—and sometimes, keeping a beloved animal just isn’t possible.

While Napa Humane is not an animal shelter and does not house or take in animals, we’re still here to help. We understand these decisions are never easy, and we’re committed to offering compassionate guidance and practical resources to support both you and your pet.

One way Napa Humane can offer support is by connecting you with Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet—a safe, reliable way to find a new home for your pet yourself, rather than bringing them to a shelter. You’ll be able to create a profile for your pet, review potential adopters, and make sure your furry friend ends up in a loving home.
