Behavior Rehabilitation For Shelters, Rescues, Veterinarians, and Trainers
 
Transforming Rescue Dogs into Adoptable Companions

At Pets Return Home, we specialize in rehabilitating dogs with severe behavioral challenges—helping shelters, rescues, and veterinary professionals place dogs into permanent homes instead of euthanasia. Our structured, evidence-based behavior modification programs provide a second chance for dogs labeled as "unadoptable" due to aggression, fear, or anxiety-related issues.

 
Why Partner With Us?

  • Reduce euthanasia rates by rehabilitating dogs with behavioral challenges.

  • Improve adoption success through structured training and socialization.

  • Support foster families and adopters with training guidance and post-adoption support.

  • Free up resources in your organization by referring challenging cases to expert care.

 
Our Rehabilitation Process​

Our program is designed to assess, treat, and prepare dogs for adoption or reintroduction into foster and home environments.

 
Behavioral Assessments & Custom Treatment Plans
​

We conduct comprehensive behavior evaluations to determine the root cause of reactivity, aggression, or fear-based behaviors. Each dog receives a tailored rehabilitation plan, using:

  • Counterconditioning & Desensitization (to reduce fear and reactivity)

  • Behavioral Management & Positive Reinforcement Training

  • Socialization with Humans & Animals

 
Intensive Rehabilitation & Training

Our structured program includes:

  • Structured Obedience & Manners Training – Teaching essential skills like leash walking, impulse control, and proper greetings.

  • Fear & Aggression Modification – Addressing resource guarding, dog reactivity, and human-directed aggression.

  • Safe Socialization – Gradual exposure to people, dogs, and real-world situations.

 
Adoption & Reintegration Support

For every dog we rehabilitate, we ensure:

  • A thorough post-rehab assessment to determine readiness for adoption.

  • Support for rescues, shelters, and adopters to ensure a successful transition into homes.

  • Ongoing training guidance to reinforce learned behaviors.

​​
Who We Work With

  • Animal Shelters & Rescues: When dogs in your care need more than a temporary home, we provide structured rehabilitation to improve their adoptability.

  • Veterinarians & Veterinary Behaviorists: For dogs whose behavioral issues stem from medical conditions or trauma, we work closely with veterinary teams to implement holistic recovery plans.

  • Professional Dog Trainers: Some behavior challenges go beyond basic obedience. We provide specialized rehabilitation to complement training programs.
