How to Surrender a Pet Surrendering a pet is never an easy decision. But if you find you must part ways with your pet, you have options. First, notify trusted friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers that you need to find a new home for your pet. This type of networking sometimes can have very positive results. Plus, you may even get to visit on occasion if you find your pet a new home within your social network. Bringing your pet to our shelter should always be your last resort. If you are unable to rehome your pet on your own, here are the guidelines for surrendering your pet to our shelter: * We will accept pets only if there is room available at the shelter. * If you are surrendering your pet because you cannot or will not care for him/her any longer for any reason, we ask that you make the requested monetary contribution of $20.00 per animal. * Please provide as much information about your pet as possible including medical records, temperment, age, etc. Why we ask for a surrender fee - We are a charity - a private, non-profit organization that meets a specialized need in our community. We are not mandated to take in pets; rather we do because we want to ensure a safe, humane haven for animals that have no other place to go. We receive no other government funding or tax revenue.
