Surrender a Dog
Surrendering a dog should be a last resort after having exhausted all other options.
PLEASE NOTE:
Dog Tales is a beautiful rescue facility, but, at the end of the day, to your dog it cannot compare to the comforts of a home. Surrendering a dog should be a last resort after having exhausted all other options, as this is a very stressful and confusing experience for all dogs. Most issues that dogs are surrendered for could easily have been resolved through training with a committed owner.
ALTERNATIVES:
Training
We would be happy to schedule private training sessions for you and your dog. If training does not work and re-homing is necessary, it is always best to first attempt to re-home your dog yourself. Please keep in mind that we do not have the space to accept all owner surrenders, and that surrendering a dog to us means that we have one less room to offer to other dogs in need. If you are interested in training, please email info@dogtales.ca.
Rehome
We encourage families to post on our Facebook community group page: Community Pet Rehome by Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary to find a home privately before trying to surrender your pet. We have a large online following and many owners have had success using this method. Once a week we will be posting on our social media to direct potential adopters to take a look at the page. They will then reach out directly to you if they are interested. If you are interested in posting in this group please email info@dogtales.ca with the subject line “Facebook Rehome Request” for approval.
