Giving Up A Pet

Finding A Local Shelter – If your only choice is giving up your pet to a shelter, here are some local resources that may be able to offer assistance.

• No Kill Networks – Consult nokillnetwork.org, or CARE for a list of no-kill shelters in your area.

• Adopt-a-Pet Self Rehome Option & Resources — Rehoming your pet should be easy and stress-free both for you and your pet. Experts at Adopt-a-Pet.com have created a simple, reliable, free program to help you place your pet from your loving home directly to another. Visit rehome.adoptapet.com

• Other Resources, including other Local Shelters — You can find other local rescues, along with animal control facilities and some breed/species specific rescues on our WCHS Contact Resources document.

Please understand that completing this form does not guarantee we are able to accept any pet. We are also unable to keep a waiting list, as the demand for owner surrender is at an all-time high.

Surrender Form

Please submit this application along with your pets medical records.

Once your application is submitted, management will contact you once intake space becomes available.

You will be required to schedule a meeting with management to review your pet’s medical history and evaluate their behavior. If approved, a surrender fee will be taken upon intake.
