Life circumstances can change, and sometimes families find themselves unable to continue caring for their pets. At Pawsitive Animal Welfare Society in Wisconsin, we understand how difficult this decision can be.

Why Rehoming Services Are Important

Pet rehoming is a compassionate alternative to abandonment or surrendering animals to overcrowded shelters. In Wisconsin, shelters often struggle with limited space and resources, making rehoming an essential step in reducing strain on the system.



By connecting families directly with prospective adopters, or by transferring pets into trusted foster and shelter programs, we help minimize stress for animals while keeping them out of high-risk situations. Rehoming ensures that pets are not left homeless but instead transition into safe environments where their needs will continue to be met.

How the Rehoming Process Works

Pawsitive Animal Welfare Society makes rehoming as smooth and responsible as possible. Our goal is to create safe matches between pets and adoptive families while providing support for current owners throughout the process.

Owner Consultations

We begin by learning more about the pet’s history, personality, medical needs, and daily routines. This information is key to finding a compatible home.

Pet Profiles

Each animal is carefully profiled and introduced to potential adopters. Profiles highlight the pet’s strengths, needs, and unique qualities, ensuring adopters are well-informed.

Adoption Matching

We connect pets with families that fit their lifestyle and care capacity. This reduces the risk of pets being returned or mismatched.

Transition Support

From providing resources to help owners prepare pets for adoption, to guiding new families in welcoming their companion, we support both sides during the transition.
