Pet Rehoming
WCHS values the human-animal bond and aims to help pets stay with the people who love them by providing support and resources.
Before rehoming your pet, Let’s consider the Options!
Utilizing Our Pet Support Program to Overcome Barriers
We work to provide support and resources to help pets stay with the families who love them. Check out our Pet Support Program for resources like our Pet Food Bank, training resources, and more.
Self-Rehoming
Self-rehoming is often the most compassionate way to help your pet find a new home. It allows your pet to stay in a familiar environment, which can support their well-being. Additionally, by being able to share detailed information about your pet’s personality, behavior, medical history, and preferences, you increase the chances they will be placed in a home where they can truly thrive.
Bonus: Self-rehoming can also give peace of mind a pet’s original family, as they can choose the new owner and possibly even maintain contact if both parties wish.
You can find some self-rehoming tips below!

Home To Home is an online pet placement platform that helps pet owners find new homes (permanent or temporary) for their pets.

Post a photo and bio of your pet on your social media channels!
Facebook, Instagram, and Nextdoor are great platforms for showcasing your pet for adoption.
A couple of active pet friendly facebook groups are Pullman Pets & Animals and moscow/pullman & surrounding areas pets.
If you are unable to rehome your pet, you can join the surrender waitlist at Whitman Humane
Whitman County Humane Society (WCHS) is a limited-admission shelter. Due to limited space, resource limitations, and our housing structure, accepting surrenders can be extremely difficult and, if we are able to assist, it may take weeks or even months before space becomes available.
Additionally, we cannot accept pets that are aggressive and reserve the right to decline any surrender to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and the animals already in our care.
If surrender is necessary, please complete the Owner Surrender Form on our website. If we are able to assist, we will reach out as soon as we are able.
