As an animal welfare organization, our first priority is to help keep families together. We want pets to stay in their homes. You know, love and care for your pet the most. Surrendering an animal to a shelter or rescue should be an absolute last resort. Owners must exhaust all other options before relinquishing ownership to a stranger, a shelter or other organization.

 

There are resources available to assist with medical needs, behavior issues, financial concerns, pet food, pet-friendly rental housing and more. Explore these opportunities before giving up on your family member. It's okay to ask for help with your pet.
