"So, if I decide to sell my Pet to Hannah and become the Pet Parent, what is the process? I am concerned that I will not be able to afford all of the costs to care for my Pet now and in the future and don’t want to face having to give him up.
Maybe. First, Hannah has to examine the Pet to make sure it is behaviorally and medically eligible to be a Hannah Pet, so you would need to do a little paperwork to get things moving. Then Hannah would arrange for the evaluations with a behavior expert and one of our veterinarians– we would also need you to tell us as much as you can about your Pet’s behavior and medical history.
If Hannah determines that your Pet is eligible to become a Hannah Pet and you want to move forward, you will then have to legally sell it to Hannah (for a price both you and Hannah agree to) and go through the matching process (which includes paying a Matching Fee). If you are not a good match for your former Pet, Hannah’s Lifetime Matching Program will identify that fact and you won’t be matched to it (provided you are honest on the computerized tool). If the Pet is not found to be a good match for you, you will be matched with one that is – and you can accept that Pet and your former Pet will also be matched with a different Hannah Pet Parent. If you choose to have “approval rights” as part of the sale agreement with Hannah for your former Pet, you can disapprove of Hannah’s match for a new Hannah Pet Parent and have the option to repurchase your Pet for what Hannah paid you for it; the Matching Fee is not refundable if we are able to find you a good match. If you are matched with your former Pet, you have the choice of “re-homing” it in your home with any problems we find addressed, or trying another Pet – whichever you choose. Under either scenario, you can have Hannah take any Hannah Pet back and match you with a different Pet at any time in the future – regardless of where the Pet came from."
