Where can I give up a dog in Yerevan safely?

Do not abandon the dog

When circumstances change, finding a new home is safer than leaving a dog outside. An abandoned pet can become lost, injured or exposed to other dangers. Start by asking trusted friends, relatives and people you know if they can help.

Make an honest adoption post

Include the dog's age, sex, size, temperament, health information and daily habits. Mention how the dog behaves around children, other animals, leashes and life indoors. Clear photos and a reliable contact make it easier for the right person to respond.

Before handing the dog over, try to arrange a short meeting and ask about the future owner's living situation and experience. Be honest about medical or behavioural needs. If the situation is urgent, contact local shelters, rescue groups or veterinary clinics and ask what support is currently available.

If you need temporary help

Friends may help with temporary care, sharing the post or finding adopters. Petty's directory can help you find local organisations, professionals and pet services.
