Rehoming cats and dogs outside of shelters can have many benefits for both the animal and the new owner. For one, it can provide a more comfortable and stress-free transition for the dog, who may become anxious and overwhelmed in a shelter environment. Additionally, it allows for a more personalized adoption process, as potential owners can interact with the dog in a home setting and get a better understanding of their personality and behavior. Rehoming outside of shelters can also help to reduce the burden on already overcrowded shelters and provide more opportunities for dogs to find loving, permanent homes.
