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.

I need some help. I have an eight year old black cat, that me and my wife took in as a stray nearly seven years ago. Until about four years ago, he spent part of his time outdoors, but has been an indoor cat since. He is neutered, up to date on his shots and is in excellent health. I can provide paperwork if needed. His name is Midnight and has been a welcome companion, especially after my wife died. I am selling my house and moving in with my girlfriend. She has a dog (a Lhaso) and allergies. The problem is that, while Midnight gets along great with humans, he doesn't like other cats or dogs. I can't bring him with me, so now I'm looking for a home that will take him in and give him the love and affection he needs. My number is 267-614-5986. My name is Bill K. It breaks my heart to have to give him up, but I don't know of any other way. At least if I knew he was going to a good home, I could live with this decision, although it sucks no matter how you look at it. Please - can you help? Or offer suggestions where to go? I'm trying other options to get him adopted, like contacting friends, though with little success. I just want him to be okay, wherever he goes.
