You can find a good home for your Mastiff by spending the time needed to locate a responsible owner who can provide him with proper care. It takes some time and work to find a great new place for your dog to live, but you’ll find that it’s well worth the effort that you put into it. Knowing that he has a wonderful new owner and home will let you rest easier.
What Needs Does Your Mastiff Have?
You know your dog better than anyone else, so you understand what he needs to live a healthy and happy life. Perhaps he had bad experiences with children when he was younger and doesn’t like to be around them now. This is an important piece of information that any new owner will need to know. Maybe he has a dietary restriction that the owner will need to know about. Think about all of the elements that make your Mastiff unique and use that information when you’re making your choice about who gets to become his new owner
Rehoming Online with Rehome
The Internet has helped to make it easier for owners to find people who want to adopt their dogs. However, this doesn’t mean that all of these online services are created equal. You don’t want to use a site like Facebook Marketplace that’s not dedicated to pets. There’s a chance that someone who wasn’t even thinking about adopting could see a picture of your dog and decide to adopt. They haven’t put in the time to think about what bringing home a new pet really means.
Instead, you should choose a site like Rehome that’s specifically used for pet adoption. People who’re on the site are there to find a new dog and have more than likely done their research. The site is also free for owners to use. Those who adopt will only have to pay a small rehoming fee. This fee is about the same as what they’d pay to a shelter or a rescue.
Rehome lets owners build a profile for their dog. You can add photos, videos, and a bio. The bio should have all of the most important information regarding your dog, so the potential adopters can see it. This lets them have a better idea of whether he’s the right dog for their family or not.
You can then review the applications that come to you from these adopters. Rehome can help you better understand what you should be looking for in the applications, as well. Once you have made your selection, you can then allow the adopter to take your dog home. Having this amount of control over who adopts helps to ensure that you find a good home for your Mastiff.
There’s also the option of rehoming your Mastiff with someone you know personally. This might be a relative or a friend that wants to adopt a dog. If you already know the person and feel that they’ll be a good fit, it can be a fast way to find a new home for your dog.
