RAL Courtesy Listings
Our free courtesy listing service connects pet guardians who want to find loving new homes for their pets on their own terms with potential adopters, without the pet needing to enter a shelter. The listings you see here are managed entirely by the pet's guardian. RAL hosts this space as a community resource, but we are not involved in the rehoming process and are unable to assist with inquiries or follow-up. To connect with a pet's guardian, please use the contact information provided in their listing.

The pets listed below are being rehomed directly by members of our community and are not at RAL’s shelter.
All information contained in these courtesy listings has been provided by their current guardians. RAL does not verify the accuracy of the information provided. It is the responsibility of the individuals interested in providing a new home to these pets to obtain and verify information about the pets’ history.
Communication regarding these pets is handled by their current guardian. If you are interested in adopting one of these pets, reach out to them through the courtesy listing.
-
RAL staff members review each courtesy listing before it goes live, but we do not meet the pets or their guardians and cannot verify the accuracy of each listing. Please use caution when interacting with individuals through this page.
Never send money or a deposit for a pet you haven’t met in person.
Arrange to meet in a safe, public location.
Use tools like Google reverse image search to check for stock or reused photos.
Ask for veterinary records and review the pet’s medical history. Make sure the name on the records matches the person you're speaking with.
If you come across a listing that seems suspicious, please email us so we can take a closer look.
