Surrendering Your Pet
Sometimes, keeping your pet isn't possible. Before surrendering, explore all options to ensure the best decision for your pet.
Need help? Visit your vet for behavioral concerns. Consider spaying/neutering. Think about training or rehoming if needed. Facing financial challenges? Our Pet Food Pantry is open first Fridays at Thompson's True-Value, 11am-1pm.
Responsible Pet Surrender Tips
Thinking of rehoming your pet? Please do so responsibly.
Avoid abandoning pets in the woods or countryside—pets can't survive alone and it's unsafe and illegal.
Don't leave pets behind during moves, and never give them away to strangers without knowing their situation.
Consider trusted friends or family who can give your pet proper loving care.
Remember, many pets come to shelters from well-meaning owners unaware of the commitment involved.

Pet’s medical records
It is extremely important for you to bring any medical records you have for your pet. A lack of medical information can delay the time it takes to evaluate your pet, and will incur a higher surrender fee to offset the cost of care to get your pet ready for adoption.
Pet’s personality profile
Please be honest when answering questions about your pet; let us know if your pet has a history of biting, refuses to use the litter box, has a serious or chronic medical condition, or any other problem. It is unfair to pass on severe behavioral or medical issues to another family.
Our Shelter will be closed 5/20/26
To better serve our pets & community, we are having an inservice for our Shelter Staff. During this time the shelter will be closed to the public. There will be staff available for urgent matters.
