We strongly encourage families rehoming or adopting a dog to create a rehoming agreement to make things official on the transfer of pet ownership (most states still consider pets as “personal property” just like a boat or a car).
Here’s a good example of a dog rehoming agreement, in two different file formats:

For dogs who are microchipped we offer this information on transferring ownership for a microchipped dog.
