The process of surrendering your dog is as stress-free for you and the dog as possible.
1. Complete and submit the Surrender Application (you can find this below, or on the "Applications" page.
2. You will be contacted in regards to your application. Expect some questions - we want to make sure your dog is placed into a home where they can thrive, so like to be thorough.
3. As soon as there is a suitable foster or foster-to-adopt home available, you'll be contacted to schedule an appropriate date to surrender.
Given we are a foster-based shelter we can only take in as many dogs as we have fosters for, so please understand that you may be placed on a waiting list. However, we do our best to assist everyone in a timely fashion.
When relinquishing your dog, you're welcome to bring along any items that may make your dog more comfortable while settling in and adjusting to a new home. Some items you may include are:
- Food
- Kennel/bed
- Favorite toy(s)
- Leash
- Collar
- Food/water dishes
If you have any previous medical records on hand, please bring them along so we know what veterinary care your dog will require. Every dog visits our veterinarian prior to being adopted.
