Rehomes & Returns

Rehoming Policy

If you find that your adopted dog is not a good match, it is crucial to contact us immediately at: helpteam.aadr@gmail.com

Rehoming Guidelines

• All rehoming situations must go through Anna’s Angels.

• Under no circumstances should the dog be sold, given away, abandoned, or surrendered to any person, shelter, rescue, or SPCA. Doing so may result in consequences.

• If someone is interested in adopting your dog, they must complete an application and be approved through our process to ensure the dog’s safety and well-being.

Important Notes

• No monetary refunds will be offered for returns or rehoming.

• Our team is here to help you work through challenges and ensure the best outcome for both you and the dog.

• Our ultimate goal is to find loving, forever families for these incredible dogs while making transitions as smooth as possible for everyone involved. 

Rehoming Process: Step-by-Step Guide

If rehoming becomes necessary, below is the process:

Step 1: Submit a Request

• Contact us at helpteam.aadr@gmail.com to request rehome and rehome paperwork.

• Provide transparent details about the situation so we can understand the dog’s needs.

Step 2: Medical Care & Records

• Ensure the dog receives required medical care (vaccines, heartworm test, etc.).

• Submit complete veterinary records.

Step 3: Provide Updates

• Send updated photos and a biography of the dog.

• You may share rehome posts on Facebook rehome pages, but all placements must go through Anna’s Angels’ approval process.

Step 4: Search for a Placement

• The search for a new home begins.

• You are responsible for continuing to care for the dog until a suitable placement is found.

• You may help in the search, but all interested parties must complete Anna’s Angels’ adoption process.

• Notes:

  1. • Rehome timeframes can vary, often taking a minimum of four weeks. 

     • As a foster-based rescue, appropriate backup placements are not always available (particularly for dogs with specific medical or behavioral needs), and we prioritize safe, appropriate matches.

     • Minimizing placement changes is also an important part of a dog’s overall well-being, as repeated moves can create additional stress and can lead to poorer outcomes for the dog.

Step 5: Placement & Transfer

• Once a suitable potential placement is found, you will share all details about the dog with this potential placement, both the good and the challenges. TRANSPARENCY IS VITAL.

• If the placement is safe and appropriate, arrangements are made to transfer the dog to their new caregiver.

By following this process, you’re helping ensure the dog transitions safely into a loving, secure and appropriate new home. ❤
