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 have never had a dog before, I never really understood the bond your first dog has with it's owners. So 9 months ago my ex and I got this very cute puppy so we can raise him together. Going through so much together, I raised him more often because my ex worked so much. So my puppy began to feel like my son. And almost 2 weeks ago my ex (this is before he became my ex btw) asks to take puppy for a walk.I said no because puppy bit thru his leash he needed a new one,I fell asleep, wake up the next day and they both are no where to be found??I'm frantically calling everyone I know if they've seen them and no one did.(5 days of non stop tears pass)until I see my ex walking towards the house(ALONE)!!!6/18/21 After hours of absolutely no honest answers coming from my exes mouth about why puppy wasn't walking with him. It's now 6/21/21 and my ex is out of my life for good. Because the only answer that stays the same is "I don't know where puppy is!"when I ask for an explanation.... What hurts the most is that I didn't even get to say goodbye to my puppy. And I know my puppy is scared and he's probably wondering where I am. I'm just hoping he's ok but I can't keep those awful thoughts out of my head especially since people have been sending me those awful stories about what happens to dogs with no collars...(makes me sick) to me. (Doesn't help btw). It's getting really hard to keep hiding my tears from everyone, and keep smiling. Because right now my heart is hanging by a thread and I really really really would appreciate everyone's Help to please keep a look out for my baby. Please. Good or bad or even if someone adopted him. Anything.....I just really really really need closure because it hurts way to much to keep getting lied too..... He really didn't like taking much pics so this is what I have of my puppy. Thank you very much🥺😭😭😭 I have 2 profiles, this one is pending name change approval. Sorry for the confusion but I wasn't thinking clearly when I made the first "lost dog" post.(956-398-9242) PLEASE help
