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.

Never ever return phone calls and text or emails. Why do these people working in a lot of these shelters thinking that they are doing us a favor.? You idiots we are doing these pets a favor by fostering and adopting them so they don't be put down. The way a lot of the staff act very rude to customers at different shelters makes people not wanting to adopt or Foster. They set up they web site so friendly and nice details just to get funding and donations. When in fact they don't care about pets and definitely not about the people who adopt or Foster them or who are trying to. The way the staff treat people are running them away
