Avoid using Social Media when rehoming pets

Ballymena local business Grove Vets see lots of pets day in day out and want to advise Ballymena animal lovers to avoid social media if they want to re-home or find a new pet. If you can no longer cope with a cat or dog or your pet has had lots of babies who need new homes then it is tempting to put a message online using social media. Grove Vets would advise against this. Facebook and Twitter can be an easy option when you are trying to get rid of a pet but Grove Vets encourage anyone in this position to contact a local rehoming charity such as the Dogs Trust (who take both cats and dogs), who should be able to help you find a good home for your animal. Rehoming centres will go through lots of questions and safety checks with any prospective pet owner. They will ensure that the person has adequate room and facilities for a pet and make sure that they are introduced to any other animals in that home.

If you have...
