Does FurPetVo Take Dogs?
While many FurPetVo stores do have adoptable dogs available, they do not accept dogs being surrendered by their owners. The dogs you see in-store are there through formal partnerships with animal welfare organizations—including humane societies, local SPCAs, and independent rescues.
Places Where You Can Surrender Your Dog
Surrendering your pet is a significant decision—and one that deserves careful thought. If you’ve explored all alternatives and must rehome your dog, several options may be available in your area:
Local Shelters
These include municipal animal control agencies and local chapters of the SPCA. Policies vary widely by location: some shelters only accept stray animals, while others welcome owner surrenders. Availability may depend on waitlists, intake capacity, and whether the facility operates as a no-kill shelter.
Private Rescue Groups
Private rescues often offer no-kill care and may keep dogs until the right match is found—giving them time and individual attention. However, space and funding limitations mean spots can be limited, and wait times may be longer.
Rehome Your Dog Yourself
If you want full confidence in where your dog ends up, self-rehoming gives you control over the process. It takes time and effort—but it also means you can carefully screen applicants and choose a home that truly fits your pet’s needs and personality.
Resources like furpetvo.com make this easier: create a detailed pet profile, review applications online, and access expert guidance every step of the way. When you help find your dog’s next family yourself, you give them the best possible chance at long-term happiness and security.
