You may not have to surrender.
Surrendering your pet is, and should be, a big decision. Assuming your dog will just quickly get adopted is wishful thinking. Your dog may become ill, anxious, depressed, or simply be in a crowded shelter which euthanizes them for space. The outcome is uncertain.
​
So before you take that big step, take a breath. There are resources out there and you may be able to Foster from Home and keep your dog safe.

We don't have time for our dog. He just sits around and looks sad.
Your dog would rather be anywhere with you than in danger and in the cell of a noisy shelter.
We are moving and can't keep him.
Yes, it can be complicated, but can you find a way? You are his whole world.
​
Can you reach out to friends or seek resources where you are going?
We're having a new baby.
A new baby doesn’t have to mean giving up your dog. With the right support, they can thrive together as family.
We can help.
He barks, and eats things, and chews his leash.
Dogs do dog stuff. But training can go a long way! Watching videos and seeking resources can offer a solution.
Many surrenders happen because of financial insecurity, housing issues, and deportations. If you need help securing medicine, food, vet care, training, or TIME which might help you keep your dog, please reach out below. We offer mini-grants to help people keep their dogs and can connect you with resources.

Please get in touch before surrendering your dog to a shelter. And never, ever dump or abandon a dog.
