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 years ago I adopted a wonderful dog who was an important part of my family for 14 years before her hips starting giving out. I eventually had to make that difficult decision that all of us fur-baby parents dread making, but it was what was best for my beloved girl. That was years ago, & I still haven't been able to have another dog in my home... the pain of losing Mya was too great & still is to this day. But if it hadn't been for Young-Williams posting their animals online, I never would have seen Mya's picture, & my life would not have been as wonderfully enriched as it was with Mya in it.
