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.

After first being encouraged by Maxfund to forego a neighbor's pet, I was ignored and dissuaded in having a chance to adopt a Maxfund animal. In short, they were off-putting and in general did everything to discourage me from pursuing adoption without giving a reason. I can only conclude that Maxfund isn't interested in sincere attempts to adopt their animals.
