Frequently Asked Question

Are these pets for sale?

No — the pets listed on Pet Rehoming Network are not for sale in the traditional sense. They are being rehomed by their current families through a private adoption process. Many of them are already trained, socialized, and well cared for.

While there may be a modest adoption or rehoming fee, this is not a breeder or pet store service. Instead, you’re offering a second chance to a pet in need — and receiving a loving companion in return.

So if you’re searching for pets for sale in California, we invite you to consider adoption as a compassionate, affordable alternative.

Don’t see your dream pet? Be sure to get on our waiting list so that we can notify you when we have a match for you. It’s free, and a great way to find your perfect pet in California.
