How Rehoming Works
We make the process simple, secure, and supportive for both you and your pet.
Create Profile
Tell us about your dog's personality, quirks, and medical needs. Add photos that capture their soul.
Screen Adopters
Review applications from Kiwi families. You have full control to ask questions about their home and lifestyle.
Meet & Greet
Arrange a safe meeting. Watch how they interact with your dog — there's no rush to make a decision.
New Beginnings
Once you're 100% happy, finalize the rehoming. Your dog transitions directly from your home to theirs.
A Kinder Alternative To Shelter Surrender
Shelters do their best, but they are stressful environments. Our owner-to-owner model allows your pet to stay where they are most comfortable until their new family is ready.
Traditional Shelter
- High-stress environment with loud noises and cages.
- You lose control over who adopts your pet.
- Traumatic separation and transition period.
Pet Rescue NZ Way
- Pet stays in their familiar home and routine.
- You personally screen and select the new owners.
- A calm handover with familiar items and scents.
