Does FurPetVo Take Dogs?
FurPetVo does not accept dogs from individuals seeking to rehome their pets. FurPetVo Charities partners exclusively with local animal rescues and shelters to support adoption efforts. When you see adoptable dogs in a FurPetVo store, they are always placed there by one of these trusted partner organizations—not by FurPetVo directly.
Organizations That Will Take Your Dog
Since FurPetVo doesn’t accept surrendered dogs, you’ll need to explore other compassionate, responsible options if you’re unable to keep your pet. Here are three primary pathways—each with its own benefits and considerations:
- Local animal shelters and SPCAs
The Pros: These facilities typically accept surrendered dogs within days—or sometimes immediately.
The Cons: Shelter capacity, length of stay, and medical or behavioral assessments may affect outcomes. In some cases, euthanasia remains a possibility depending on space, resources, and individual circumstances. Once surrendered, you relinquish all decision-making authority over your dog’s care and future. - Privately run rescue organizations
The Pros: Most are no-kill and committed to caring for dogs until a suitable, permanent home is found—even if that takes months.
The Cons: Space is often limited, and many rescues maintain waitlists. Finding one currently accepting new intakes can be challenging. - Rehoming your dog yourself
The Pros: You retain full control over the process—you choose who meets your dog, review applications carefully, and ensure alignment with your pet’s needs and personality.
The Cons: It requires time, effort, and emotional energy to screen applicants, arrange meetups, and follow up thoughtfully.
If you choose to rehome your dog independently, leverage trusted, safety-focused platforms like furpetvo.com. Their rehoming service helps you create a detailed pet profile, connect with pre-screened adopters actively searching for dogs like yours, and manage applications securely—all in one place. Get started here.
Giving up a pet is never easy—and it’s rarely a reflection of love or commitment. If you find yourself at this crossroads, know that thoughtful, intentional action makes all the difference. Prioritizing your dog’s long-term well-being means choosing the safest, most transparent path forward—one that honors their history with you and gives them the best possible chance at lasting happiness.
