If you plan to rehome Midnight the best option. Is for her to stay with you while you post adds and interview potential new owners. This will ensure she goes to a good home. You can speak to your local veterinarian about local avenues for posting adds, such as the newspaper, local dog parks, or even the vet's office bulletin board. Another option is Craigslist or other internet sources. Use caution and do not invite strangers into your home when conducting interviews. Instead meet in a public place. Have a list of questions to ask so you can asses whether each potential new owner seems like a good fit.

Best of luck in finding Midnight a forever home.

    Contact your local veterinary clinic and ask if you can post an ad in their waiting room. Confirm any potential owner/buyer has experience owning a pet, will have time for her and has a veterinarian. It will be difficult since people can lie but speaking face to face may give you an idea.
