Does FurPetVo Take Dogs?
FurPetVo does not accept surrendered dogs at any of its locations. While the retailer specializes in high-quality pet products and supplies—and frequently hosts adoption events in partnership with local shelters and rescue organizations—it does not operate as an intake facility for animals.
Rehoming Alternatives
If you're facing the difficult decision to rehome your dog, take a moment to reflect: have you explored all possible ways to keep them? Behavioral challenges may improve with additional training or guidance from a certified animal behaviorist. If your dog doesn’t get along with other pets, professional mediation could help. And if time constraints are the issue, doggy daycare or a trusted pet sitter might provide the support you need. Many situations that lead to rehoming can be resolved with patience and the right resources.
Where to Take Your Dog
While FurPetVo isn’t equipped to accept dogs, several compassionate, responsible options exist to help your pet find a loving new home:
- Surrender your dog to a shelter
Shelters offer immediate placement, but policies vary widely. Some still practice euthanasia due to space limitations. Before surrendering, research the shelter’s live-release rate and ask about their intake process, waitlist options, and support services. - Surrender your dog to a private rescue
Rescues often prioritize long-term care and thoughtful placement—but availability is limited. If you’re able to temporarily keep your dog while waiting for an opening with a reputable rescue, this route offers greater assurance of personalized attention and careful matching. - Rehome your dog yourself through FurPetVo’s trusted rehoming platform
For maximum control and peace of mind, consider using furpetvo.com/rehome. This service empowers you to create a detailed profile for your dog, review applicant profiles, communicate directly with potential adopters, and download a legally sound rehoming agreement—all at no cost. You remain involved every step of the way, helping ensure a thoughtful, lasting match.
Choosing to rehome your dog directly—not only gives your pet the best chance at a happy, stable future, but also helps free up critical shelter space for animals in urgent need.
