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.

Went in on 15 July 2023. They had a beautiful puppy boxer that was there. The lady tried to say that it’s a boxer, but both parents are pits which don’t make sense how it could be a boxer. Wife fell in love with the dog Went home and got our dog so we could do a meet and greet to make sure they got a long come back and then magically the dog was no longer up for adoption. I found that to be you know very strange. They have almost up to capacity and then when you want a dog Daytona round and now tell you yeah it’s good to go and then turn around and tell you when you come back for it. Oh, it’s no longer available .
