As a no-kill shelter, we can only take an animal if we have room.  We never euthanize an animal to make room for another. If we are unable to take your animal, we will give you some suggestions and possible alternatives for placing your animal.

If you would like to send information to animal intake on an animal you would like to surrender, please include all of the following information in an email. The more details you provide will make it easier and quicker for us to process the request.
