Rehoming pets is stressful for both people and animals. It can also be dangerous if the proper steps aren't taken to ensure they are going into good hands.

Unfortunately, not everyone interested in taking in an animal being rehomed has good intentions. That is why Potter's Angels Rescue requires potential adopters to apply first, letting us ensure a home is not only a good match, but a safe one.  It is also why we want to offer a resource to owners facing the difficult situation of needing to rehome a pet, while we focus on giving happy tails to the stray population and neglect cases in Vermont. You owe it to your former pet to do your due diligence in their safe placement.
