What do I do with a stray dog? How about a dog we need to re-home?
Okay, so a strange pit bull or even another dog wanders into your front yard. We don't want you to take any chances with a
strange dog, so do proceed with caution. The best avenue, and also the road we take, is to call our dog trainer immediately
and temperament test this animal. Please be careful introducing your own pets to the visitor. Wait until he or she has been
temperament tested with other animals by our trainer. If you don't have a trainer, but live in the bay area, call us or visit
Junior's Page or the Links page to find one of our trainers who will help you. Be warned, though, you might end up devoting
your life to saving these wonderful dogs, because that's just what happened here at Reunion Rescue.
If you cannot bear to call the pound, please call or email us if you are willing to consider fostering the dog. We have the
resources to temperament test, spay/neuter and train the dog. We can assist you if you are re-homing your dog, but please
understand that your dog still has an advocate and our rescue is filled with dogs who have nobody but Reunion Rescue to help
them.
Make posters with an adorable photo of your found doggy. Be sure to crop out all of the unnecessary objects in the photo and
make the dog the prime focus. Make prints of the photo and a cute poster with bio info, how the dog behaves with other dogs,
people, children...special needs. You can get some great ideas on petfinder.com and PBRC, linked to this page. Run off a bunch
of posters on bright colored paper and post with tear off phone numbers in your vet's office, good pet stores, coffee houses
and other places where good, qualified potential guardians might see your foster dog.
Run a post on craigslist. The directions are very simple and you can upload a photo. Be sure to put the word "photo"
in the title line. People can't help but look, it's human nature. Remember, spay and neuter the dog. You do NOT want the animal
to be used as a money maker for some unsavory backyard breeders. Please be responsible and help put an end to the worldwide
problem of unwanted dogs at the pound.

advocate or a stray dog wandered into your path, you came to the right place. PBRC has an online application and a wonderful
