As of May 2025, we have removed our traditional rescue surrender fees. Instead, we now require that any animal being surrendered to us must come with its enclosure. We understand that surrendering a pet can be a difficult and emotional decision, especially when finances are tight. However, keeping the enclosure with the intention to acquire another animal is not in line with our mission, and unfortunately, we often find this occurs. Additionally, our enclosures experience significant wear and tear due to high usage, leading to frequent replacements and an ongoing shortage of appropriate housing for the animals in our care. By requiring enclosures to be surrendered alongside the animal, we can better support their welfare and reduce resource strain on the shelter. If you are able and would like to help further, you can now make a donation at the time of completing the surrender form, but it is entirely optional. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us provide the best care for every animal we take in.
