Remember that YOU are your pet's best advocate. You have the best information about how your pet behaves in a home, what toys/treats it likes, etc., so you are best equipped to find the right home for it. Before turning to your local shelter for rehoming, try speaking with family members or friends about taking your pet in first, and/or contact local rescue groups for resources/placement.
