Rehoming questions

Do you take owner surrenders?

When we have space, yes. First we try to help you keep your pet or rehome it directly, which is less stressful for the animal.

Is there a fee to surrender a pet?

We ask for a small donation to help with care, but we never turn away an animal in danger because of money.

What should I have ready?

Your pet's vet records, a few photos, and notes about how your pet acts with people, kids and other animals.
