Frequently Asked Questions – Oakland Pet Rehoming
How long does it usually take to rehome a pet in Oakland?
Every pet and situation is different. Some dogs and cats are placed in a matter of days, while others may take a few weeks. Our top priority is finding the best possible match — not just the fastest one.
Is placement guaranteed?
We do our absolute best to find the right new home, but we can’t promise adoption. If you’re working with a deadline, we recommend also developing a backup plan in case more time is needed.
Will I be able to choose who adopts my pet?
Yes — you stay in control. We’ll present qualified applicants, and you’ll be the one to decide who your pet goes to. You can ask questions, request interviews, and approve the final match.
What does the rehoming fee include?
The fee covers professional support, advertising, applicant screening, and the creation of a detailed adoption profile for your pet. We’re with you every step of the way, from intake to placement and beyond.
Why is there a fee to rehome my pet?
We are not a shelter or rescue and do not receive government funding or donations. The rehoming fee helps cover essential costs such as advertising, outreach, and ongoing support throughout the process. It’s what allows us to provide personalized, private services to pet owners in need.
Do you only help pet owners in Oakland?
While this page is dedicated to Oakland-area rehoming services, we also work with clients throughout California and across the U.S. If you’re nearby, we’re happy to help.
Is my personal information kept private?
Absolutely. Your name, contact details, and situation are confidential. We only share your pet’s profile and only disclose personal information to adopters you’ve approved.
