When you adopt a pet from us, we want it to be their forever home. We fill their spot immediately with one from the kill list because that is our ultimate goal. We want to save as many pets from Animal Control as possible. We understand life happens and will work with you to get the animal back in our care as soon as possible. We only ask that you work with us in return.
Here are a list of requirements when returning a pet to our care.
- A surrender fee will be charged. These fees vary.
- When a dog has been out of care for more than 6 months and you want to return your dog, a heartworm test will be required. If your dog test positive, the surrender fee will be more based on how much it cost for heartworm treatment.
- If you adopt a puppy or kitten , but wish to return an adult dog or cat the surrender fee will be a minimum of $75. This is clearly stated in the adoption contract.
- You will be placed on our return list. Time on the return list varies based on current adoptions. We require a minimum of 72 hour notice on returns. Same day returns are not possible.
