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.

Our puppy was kidnapped by these people 6 months after he allegedly bit a neighbors dog after provocation while on our own property. They never proved anything at all, simply took him based on a allegation 6 months after the alleged fact. They intimidated my girlfriend at an administrative hearing to find him dangerous and then taunted us to try to appeal the decision, admitting that they've never seen an appeal prevail, ever. They kept our puppy in solitary confinement and took away his blanket while he withered away on dangerous dog row for several months while we worked our way through the Court system, only to have our case thrown out on a technicality. They then murdered our poor puppy after refusing to allow a family friend to adopt him. These monsters should not be listed on this list, they're racist against pit bulls and offered no training or remediation of alternatives except to put our puppy in a cage 24/7, muzzle him while out of his cage, required a quarter million dollar bond with WCRAS as the beneficiary, and would have required us to waive our right to protection from unwarranted searches of our home indefinitely...along with other stipulations. They also claimed to be exempt from lawsuits, and when we tried to serve a notice to their director Shyanne Schull, they pretended they didn't know who she was. Shyanne schull is a cold-hearted charlatan hellbent on murdering puppies. When faced with the unlawful actions of her organization, she refused responsibility, hid behind a computer screen autoresponder to excuse her nonresponse until after deadlines had passed, and obstructed justice which led to the murder of our puppy for unproven allegations and illegal impoundment.
