Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Although most of the volunteers are in it for the animals, there are quite a few that are there because they need to feel important. They fail to realize it's about the animals ... Not them

Do not work well with traumatic behavior problems. Doping them up to get the animals adopted is their only plan of action.

Instead of working to keep people and companion animals together, they take the surrendered animal back, then badmouth those who returned it.

Very few foster families. Animals are always fostered out to same people.
