Rehome a Dog or Cat in Bellingham, Washington

We care about you and your pet.

No responsible pet owner wants to give up their dog or cat, but there are many understandable reasons why pet owners need to rehome pets in Bellingham and surrounding areas.

Placing your beloved family member in a shelter or rescue is NOT the answer. Most Bellingham area animal shelters are filled to capacity with pets needing homes.

Imagine the sadness and fear these animals experience, despite the best efforts of shelter staff. It is not something that most pet owners would want for their cherished companions.

Finding a loving new home for your pet while they remain in your care is the very best solution. And that is exactly what our dedicated Bellingham pet rehoming team do for our clients.

Kaeli alli calico cats for adoption seattle wa 20

Debbie from Pet Rehoming Network helped us through a very trying period of our lives. Due to life circumstances, we had to rehome 2 of our family cats who are 14 years of age, after doing much research and calling local services, I was at wits end because it doesn’t seem as though there’s a way to rehome 2 older cats.

Our cats have never been separated so having to rehome 2 cats to the same home was our top priority but we know that’s a tall order. After a couple months, we found the most perfect home within 20 miles from where we live and we couldn’t have asked for a better situation.

This service has alleviated so much pressure, stress, and guilt but in the end it worked out as planned, it just took a little patience. We are extremely grateful and at peace with this decision and can’t wait to visit our girls in their new home.

Thanks again Debbie!!!
