Moving With a Pet

Finding a new home and moving with a pet can include some extra obstacles. if you are looking to rent, this guide can help you through the process of navigating your home search and working with landlords so that you can keep your pet. Your local animal services might also offer options to help you house your animal short-term until you find a home that allows your pet(s). Also, if you are in a time crunch, you can ask a friend or family member, or a boarding facility to temporarily house your pet(s) until you can find a new home for them. If you are being deployed in the military and need care for your pet(s) while you’re away, check out Pets for Patriots, Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pets, and Dogs on Deployment.
