Rehome Your Pet
Creating the Best Path Forward
Complete a Surrender Application
The first step in the surrender process is completing the appropriate surrender application. You will be asked to provide information about your pet, including their name, age, breed, medical history, behavior, and the reason you are seeking to rehome them. Providing thorough and accurate information allows our team to best evaluate your pet’s needs and determine whether we are the right placement. Completing a surrender application does not guarantee intake of your pet.

Intake Examination
If your application is approved to move forward, a member of our team will contact you to schedule an intake examination. The intake examination allows our staff to perform a hands-on assessment of your pet’s medical condition, behavior and overall needs. Scheduling or completing an intake examination does not guarantee intake of your pet. Following the examination, our team will determine whether we have the resources necessary to safely and appropriately care for your pet.
There are times when we are unable to accept a pet into our program. This may be because our staff cannot safely handle the animal, we have reached our capacity for medical or isolation cases or we do not have an appropriate foster placement available for a pet with specialized medical or behavioral needs. These decisions are never made lightly and are based solely on our ability to provide every animal in our care with the time, space, medical attention and resources they deserve.
