Common Questions and Honest Answers
Is there a surrender fee?
We do not charge a fee to take a dog into our care. However, because we are a nonprofit, many owners choose to make a donation toward their dog's initial vetting (vaccines, microchip, and spay/neuter) when they surrender. This helps us say yes to the next dog in need.
Will I be updated on my dog's adoption?
Yes, if you wish to be. We understand that rehoming is often a heartbreaking decision made out of love. We can let you know once your dog has been adopted and share a bit about the type of family they have found. We protect the privacy of adopters, so we cannot share contact details for the new family.
What if my dog is senior or has medical issues?
We take seniors and dogs with medical needs as long as we have a foster home equipped to handle their specific care. We never euthanize for space, and we provide full medical vetting for every dog in our foster system, regardless of age or existing health status.
What happens if you can't help me?
If we are unable to take your dog, we will do our best to provide resources and information that may help you explore other safe rehoming options.
