One of the many ways PAWED assists the community is in placing pets that need homes.  In addition to placing shelter pets, PAWED recently began a community pet placement program.  We help find loving homes by advertising available pets here on our website, with flyers in our office window and at local adoption events.  We have been successful in placing quite a few pets this way and it helps keep them out of our already over-crowded shelters. 

If you have a pet that you need to place we can assist you, but first please ask yourself why you want to find your pet a new home. If there is a behavior problem PAWED may be able to help you so you can keep your pet.  Often times we can provide solutions to problems and prevent you from having to give up your pet.  For dogs, there are reputable trainers in El Dorado County that can help you.  You can visit our training resources page for more information. 

If after reading the above information you still find it necessary to rehome your pet then we will do our best to help you find a loving new home.  Unfortunately, PAWED doesn't currently have foster homes available so all community pets must reside with their families until a new home is found.  It can take from several weeks to several months to find an adopter.  If you need to place your pet immediately you can contact one of the local shelters.  For shelter locations and phone numbers please see our El Dorado County Shelters information page.

All pets accepted into PAWED's Community Pet Placement Program must meet the following requirements:"

1. Pet must be spayed or neutered

2. Pet must be up to date on vaccinations

3. Dogs must be heartworm negative and on preventative.

4. Pet must be able to stay in the home until a new home is found.  

There is a pet placement fee of $25 charged to the owner of the pet when PAWED assists in finding it a home.

If you have a pet that needs a new home and it meets the above criteria, please contact Sandy Gallagher at gallaghersandy@hotmail.com or 530-677-2476 extension 4.
