KEEPING ANIMALS OUT OF SHELTERS THROUGH DIRECT HOME PLACEMENT

We do our best to ensure pets have the best possible stay here with us at the shelter. Despite our efforts, shelters are undoubtedly a stressful place for most animals. That’s why we’ve partnered with Home To Home. Home To Home allows pets to find new homes without having to enter the shelter. We understand that needing to find a new home for a pet is sometimes a difficult reality. Home To Home allows pet guardians to find the best fit for their pet and provides the opportunity for adopters to know all about their personality and preferences first-hand from the original guardian.

Home To Home is free for both guardians and adopters, and helps keep pets out of shelters through direct home placement. Home To Home is a tool to rehome animals through direct home placement. Pet guardians needing to rehome a pet can post the animal on the website and be contacted by interested adopters. They can share all of the information about the animal with the person directly – their likes, dislikes, personality, and quirks. This can be a win-win for all involved, as the pet does not have to go through the stress of the shelter system, the current guardian can find a best fit for the pet, and the new adopter can learn about their new pet in detail first-hand.

Home To Home allows you to speak directly to the owner. Don’t want to pay adoption fees? All pets on Home To Home are free, and no money is allowed to exchange hands. When you adopt a pet from Home To Home, you are helping SafeHaven and a pet in need of a second chance. When it’s possible for a pet to avoid a shelter surrender, it helps reduce overcrowding in our shelter and allows more resources to be available to help those animals that have no other option. You can speak directly to the owner of the pet and get full details of the animal you are interested in adopting.

SafeHaven Humane Society has not met or evaluated the pets on Home To Home and does not make any claims about their health or behavior.
