Need to give up your pet?
We are Here to Help!
Deciding to give up a pet can be difficult. We understand there are times when families must consider surrendering a pet. An unexpected life event—such as illness, death or unplanned move—may make caring for a pet seem impossible. Other times, people think they must give up their pet because they do not know how to handle a particular issue or medical problem.
Resources
Our Pawsitive Impact Team will help you keep your pet instead of surrendering them to the shelter. We can discuss the various programs and services we offer that may assist you in overcoming many of the challenges you may be facing with your companion.
Rehome
Rehoming can help you manage your pet’s adoption and safely find a new home for your pet. All you need to do is to set up your pet’s profile which takes less than ten minutes. Once complete, your pet’s profile will be posted on our website.
Surrender
If you’ve exhausted alternatives like overcoming challenges with your pet or trying private rehoming, surrendering may be the next step. We’re here to guide you through this decision with care.

Consider rehoming your pet
Instead of giving up your pet to HSVB, consider finding them a new home yourself. By doing this, you avoid putting them through the stress of a shelter. As their owner, you understand them the most and can find the perfect match for them based on their personality and qualities.
Consider using our free tool to find a new home for your pet yourself, rather than taking them to a shelter. All you need to do is to set up your pet’s profile which takes less than ten minutes. Once complete, your pet’s profile will be posted on our website here and will be seen by thousands of visitors.
Surrendering an animal
We understand that it is sometimes necessary to surrender a pet. To surrender your pet, please book an appointment with our Pawsitive Impact Team so we can help.
We do our best to screen all of our animals for any medical or behavioral problems, and we are able to do this best when we have an opportunity to speak with the owner about their time with the pet and the owner shares with us any pertinent medical or behavioral information. Our goal is to find a happy home for every healthy and treatable animal. We can achieve this by knowing more about the animals that come into our care.
When you relinquish your pet, you are giving up all legal ownership rights to the animal. Legal ownership and responsibility are transferred to HSVB. We take your animal’s well-being very seriously and have a team of compassionate and dedicated animal care professionals who will provide loving care
