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.

many good families that love animals can not afford the adoption program and people often fear if free just anyone would take them and forsake them but this problem perhaps could be dealt with objectively one case at a time with those concerned

providing pets for good homes that care for them can not always afford the adoption process very carefully chosen homes could possibly be helpful here by donations financially by others
