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!
The Animal Placement Bureau is a volunteer foster care network with no paid staff and no sheltering facility. All of the dogs in our care live with our volunteers and become as much a part of their family as their own dogs.
APB is recognized federally as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose primary goal is to place homeless dogs into loving, lifelong homes.
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.
My son has tried taking in a American staffordshire and it does not get along with my other dogs. I need to get rid of her AsAP. The shelter we have here said they have no room so they can only euthanize her. If i do not find a place by two tomorrow i unfortunately have to take her there. He has some mental issues and did not realize what he was doing. PLEASE HELP. Phone number is 517-395-5348
I need help. There is a litter of kittens in my garage. I am in no position to keep them and I DO NOT TRUST THE INGHAM COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER! I was in this situation 4 years ago and the ICAS convinced me to bring in the mother and her kittens for a neuter and release program. They told me that one of them escaped and never got back to me about it. They then told me that all of them had fiv and had to be put down. The one kitten from that litter that I kept never has had fiv. I don't trust them! Unfortunately, when I ask for help, I am given a runaround and sent to someone else who cannot help. Please advise me.
