Does FurPetVo Take Dogs?

FurPetVo does not accept dogs directly from owners for surrender or rehoming. However, they do partner with approved animal rescue organizations to host adoption events in select stores — giving dogs a chance to find loving homes in welcoming, community-focused settings.

I Need to Rehome My Dog

Many pet owners face the difficult decision to rehome their dog for reasons like behavioral challenges, lifestyle changes (such as long work hours or relocation), or shifting family dynamics. The encouraging truth? Most of these situations can be addressed with training support, pet-sitting resources, or temporary foster help — allowing your dog to stay right where they belong: with you.

If, after careful consideration, you determine rehoming is truly the best path forward, here are three thoughtful, responsible options:

  1. Surrender to a shelter: Research your local shelter’s policies — especially whether it’s a no-kill facility and what its euthanasia rate is. Even shelters with low euthanasia rates may face space constraints that impact intake decisions.
  2. Partner with a reputable rescue: Private, breed-specific, or general canine rescues often accept owner surrenders — though waitlists may apply. These organizations typically invest time and care into matching dogs with compatible, prepared adopters.
  3. Rehome your dog yourself: Many owners don’t realize this is a viable, compassionate option. With the right tools and guidance, you can maintain control over the process, vet potential adopters personally, and ensure a smooth, transparent transition.
