Finding another home for your pet

In some circumstances it may be necessary for you to find another permanent home for your pet. This can be a very difficult decision to make but it can help to know that they are going to a good home. There are a number of organisations, including The Cinnamon Trust and the National Animal Welfare Trust that specialise in finding new homes for pets.

Other organisations such as the RSPCA, The Dogs Trust and The Cats Protection League should also be able to help. Your vet can also advise you.
