Resources for Re-homing a Pet

Texas Litter Control's primary mission is to provide low-cost Veterinary care to the public. Our goal is to prevent unwanted litters of kittens and puppies and to help people with affordable medical care for their pets. These much-needed services keep pets out of our shelters. We have many auxiliary life-saving programs. If you are considering giving up your pet, please contact a shelter intervention specialist for help. Visit HelpMeKeepMyPet.com.

Here are some helpful resources and tips in re-homing pets. Make sure you remind adopters to spay/neuter:

Use the following websites to list your pet for adoption. Make sure you put up lots of cute pictures and a good description of your pet!

Post to your personal social media accounts. Make sure you post lots of cute photos.

You will hear all kinds of crazy urban myths when re-homing pets. We have formal applications, interviews and contracts and nothing in life is full proof. One thing is certain... our shelters cannot handle the current capacity and you re-homing a pet is much safer than turning it into a shelter!!!!! ALL local shelters are SERIOUSLY OVER CAPACITY. They have no choice other than to euthanize animals. YOU CAN HELP them by getting creative and re-homing these animals on your own. The animals are all of our responsibilities. Rescuing is not just picking an animal up and dumping it on someone else.

We understand that you cannot always help. Shelters are for extreme situations. They are not for a couple of weeks of inconvenience to a person. Try to re-home first. We hope this gives you a lot to think about and we hope you help spread the word about the current state of our shelters and the animals in our community.

Sincerely,
Deana Love
Founder and Executive Director
