Rehoming Groups
If you’re still struggling to find a shelter or rescue, consider looking at rehoming.
There are many Facebook groups for rehoming pets of every kind. Some are for specific areas and animals, and some are more general. Some of these groups have thousands of members!
Another place where people often post animals looking for a new home is Craigslist.
Remember that not everyone in these spaces is honest about their identity and intentions. Stay safe and make sure that you know who you are selling to or adopting from.
