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.

Horrible experience!!!!!! Went there and found the perfect match for our family. We have 2 rescue dogs (1 from there) with room and love for another. One is scheduled for shots this week and both aren't due for flea and tick medicine until tomorrow. Went Saturday, filled out adoption application, answered a few questions and was told to come back Tuesday to get him. Went in Tuesday, was grilled about vaccinations then told the "operations supervisor" said we were inconsistent in the care of our pets. Was asked if we would sign a contract to use their vet. I said yes. Was then told the "operations supervisor" still thought we were inconsistent in their care and not suitable to adopt him. The "operations supervisor" never came out to talk to me. My husband went to talk with her and she made herself unavailable for the 1 1/2 hours he waited. When he saw her leaving in her car, he approached her. She cursed at him and threatened to call the police. Will let everyone I know to stay away
