The Difficult

Decision to Surrender a Furry Companion.

Steps To Take If Surrendering Is The Only Option.

Please note that at this time we do not accept cats and are unable to help with felines. We simply do not have the resources or foster home availability to do so.

I've found a stray dog. Can you help?

If you have found a stray dog, PLEASE contact your local humane society.

By PA law, we are unable to take in any stray unless it has spent a minimum of 48 hours at a state shelter. Attempts to locate original owner must also be made before you are able to legally give away an animal that does not belong to you. This includes contacting the humane society, taking to a vet or shelter to be scanned for a microchip and making public posts (flyers/social media).

Humane societies ARE NOT the enemy. If you choose to take in a stray dog, you must have a plan in place and can not rely on rescues to be able to have space to take in an unknown dog.

I need to surrender my dog.

If you are wanting to surrender your own dog, please note that we normally have LISTS of dogs waiting for their own foster home already. There is never a guarantee we will be able to help.

In order for a dog to be considered for surrender you must fill out the online surrender form in its entirety.
