Owner Surrenders

We know sometimes it is just not possible to keep a pet. Before you make a decision to surrender a pet, please consider all options. Here is a great resource for training if you are experiencing any behavioral issues with your pet: https://www.awla.org/services/for-pets/resources-guides/.  Many behavioral issues can be resolved by having your pet spayed or neutered.  We also recommend checking with trusted friends or family members to see if they can care for your pet. Be sure the friend or relative is aware of the commitment needed to care for your pet.

​

If you must surrender your pet, please contact us to discuss and see if we are able to help. We have very limited capacity and there is almost always a waiting list to have an animal taken in by our organization. There is no guarantee we will be able to take your animal. When we cannot help, we will provide a list of other shelters and rescues to try contacting.
