SAFE, Private Dog Adoptions By Owner Near You

Looking for dogs for adoption near you? Throughout the USA and Canada, Pet Rehoming Network specializes in private dog adoptions by owner. We unite dog owners faced with the heartbreaking situation of having to rehome a dog with dog lovers hoping to find puppies or dogs for adoption locally.

Through our safe, effective and stress-free dog rehoming process, each dog is very gently transitioned from one loving home to another. We help keep family dogs out of shelters and rescues, allowing these important organizations to focus on dogs in dire circumstances of abuse, abandonment or neglect. We help dog lovers find preloved dogs for adoption close to home.

Adoptable Dog Waiting List

If you don’t see a match when you look at our currently available adoptable dogs, feel free to sign up on our waiting list. The service is offered for a small donation, and our dog rehoming team will notify you when a match for your doggie wish list comes available. It’s a great way to find just the dog you are looking to adopt near you – and adopt privately from the owner, who knows the dog best.
