Rehome Pets
Rehome your pet to a home you chose yourself
Not a shelter. Not a classified ad. List your dog, cat or any pet, screen the people who apply, keep your contact details private until you decide otherwise, and finish with a written rehoming agreement.

How rehoming works
Three steps, and you keep control of the outcome at every one of them.
List your pet honestly
Photos, age, breed, temperament — and the difficult parts too. Every problem you disclose filters out an adopter who would have handed the animal back later.
Adopters near you find it
People searching in your area see your pet first. Enquiries come from registered accounts and the conversation stays in the app, so your phone number and address stay yours.
Screen, meet, then agree in writing
Ask every applicant the same questions, take a vet reference, see the home. Then sign a rehoming agreement — including the clause that brings your pet back to you if it does not work out.
Why not just post it on Facebook?
Classified sites reach everyone. That is the problem — no account history, no structure, and nothing written down at the end.
Your details stay private
Messages stay in the app. You can stop talking to someone without them ever having your number or knowing where you live.
Applicants answer the same questions
Comparing eight structured applications is a different job from re-reading eight rambling message threads and trying to remember who said what.
A written agreement at the end
What you disclosed, what was agreed about vet care, and the clause that the animal comes back to you rather than being passed on again.
Fewer of the wrong enquiries
"Free to a good home" is a phrase people specifically search for when acquiring animals to resell. A structured listing attracts a different audience.
Searchable, not a sinking post
Listings are found by species and distance for as long as they are live, instead of disappearing down a feed after a day.
You can always say no
To anyone, at any point, without a reason. The pressure to accept the first willing taker is how private rehomings go wrong.
Real listings, real homes
Owners write their own descriptions and set their own terms — including whether there is a rehoming fee at all.
Rehoming guides by pet type
Free, detailed and specific to the animal — what to rule out first, how to screen, and how to hand over without making it worse.
Common questions
How do I rehome my pet safely?
Prepare the animal and its records, write an honest listing that discloses any medical or behavioural issues, ask every applicant the same screening questions, take a vet reference, meet in a public place, visit the home where the animal will live, and complete a written rehoming agreement with a clause requiring the pet to be returned to you rather than passed on.
What does the Pets Home app cost?
The app starts with a 7-day free trial. Listing a pet for rehoming requires an active trial or a paid subscription, billed through the App Store or Google Play and cancellable from your device at any time. Any rehoming fee shown on a listing is set by the owner, not by the app.
Is the app available in the US and UK?
Yes. Listings run in both countries and you can search by distance from your location, so adopters near you see your pet first. The app is available on iOS and Android.
What pets can I rehome?
Dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, birds, rabbits, reptiles and small pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs and rats. Each species has its own category so adopters searching for that animal find your listing.
Should I charge a rehoming fee?
A modest fee deters the most casual enquiries, but it is not real protection — anyone acquiring animals for the wrong reasons can afford one. Screening, a vet reference, a home visit and a written agreement protect a pet far more. You decide whether to charge and how much.
How long does it take to rehome a pet?
Two to four weeks is realistic for a healthy, sociable dog or cat of a common breed in a populated area. Senior animals, large breeds, pets that cannot live with children or other animals, and those with medical or behavioural needs often take two to three months.
