Rehoming a Pet

Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet.com*
This service allows pet owners to create a pet’s profile, review applications from potential adopters, and to set up a meet-and-greet with families interested in adopting. These private adoptions take place without ever having to set foot in a shelter.

*Please note, Riverdale Animal Shelter is not affiliated with Rehome and does not facilitate the adoption process for pets available through this program. We make this information available to you as another alternative to surrendering.
