11/26/25 - NOTICE: Our facility is currently at capacity. Please call to be added to the waiting list to surrender your animal.
Have you ever been faced with the decision to surrender your pet?
The Dog and Cat Shelter is here to help
First and foremost, we understand this is a difficult decision, and we will strive to make sure your pet is very well cared for until he/she finds a new home. We are not going to judge you or your situation. This decision is handled with compassion.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
1. Call The Dog and Cat Shelter at 674-7694 and make an appointment to bring your pet in. This is so we can prepare a comfortable space for your pet to stay while they are here.
2. There is paperwork: a surrender form will need to be filled out PRIOR to bringing in your animal.
3. There is no fee to surrender your pet. At anytime, donations or volunteering are always gratefully accepted.
4. The Dog and Cat Shelter will hold your pet for 3 days. If you change your mind within the 3 day period, you can reclaim your pet. After 3 days, your pet will become the property of the Shelter.
5. Health Check: after your pet is past the 3 day period, a vet will examine your pet, and then if necessary we schedule him/her to be spayed or neutered, and all vaccinations are given.
6. Does surrendering an animal make you ineligible to adopt again?
-It does not. Our adoption process and requirements are clear and staff will be happy to explain the process to you.
7. We are a no-kill Shelter: Unless an animal exhibits extremely aggressive behavior or is terminally ill, we do not euthanize.
THIS FORM MUST BE FILLED OUT AND TURNED IN PRIOR TO BRINGING IN YOUR ANIMAL. PLEASE FILL THIS OUT AND RETURN IT TO THE DOG AND CAT SHELTER.
REMINDER - THE SHELTER HAS LIMITED SPACE AND WE MAY HAVE TO PUT YOU ON A WAITING LIST. WE WILL STILL REQUIRE THE SURRENDER FORM TO BE COMPLETED.
