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.
