I need to rehome my dog. What do I do?
Southern Siberian Rescue does not accept owner turn-ins. We pull our foster dogs from shelters when they are facing euthanization. We are also limited in our foster homes and save those homes for Siberians facing death in shelters. We have a referral page where we list personal dogs that need to be re-homed. If you would like to take advantage of this exposure, please fill out our referral questionnaire and email it to SouthernSibes@yahoo.com. Once approved, we will list your dog. We will need updated pictures, medical information, age, weight, and a brief write up on your dog’s personality and temperament as well as contact information for you. You will be the one responsible for determining if a home is appropriate or not; we are merely a tool to help you with exposure. We recommend that you DO NOT list your dog as “free to a good home” in the newspaper as there are individuals/groups out here that prey on that to gather dogs for research. We do recommend that you obtain both vet and personal references on anyone that inquires on your dog AND call those references. It is our experience that many people do not keep their dogs up to date medically. Also, you should take your dog to the potential adopters home to see how and where the dog will live, in addition to making sure your dog gets along with any existing pets. Not all dogs get along and it is very stressful on dogs to be swapped from home to home. SSR has a “shortened” application for such circumstances and we are happy to email it to you upon request.
