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 am a dog groomer and the adoption process is based apon a committee, which is ridiculous I was seen unfit and I have nothing but love. I currently own 3 very loved and spoiled fur babies.

My husband and I went here to adopt a dog for our daughter trying to do the right thing and adopt from a shelter instead of buying a puppy from a breeder. We found a dog we thought would be a good fit for our family so we filed out an application. We were denied adopting a dog because our current dog was not up to date on her heart worm prevention. We just boarded her in March when we went out of town and she was fully up to date at that time. We have always taken very good care of our animals as they are part of our family. This shelter denied a dog of a forever home over something petty. Do not waste your time trying to adopt from them!
