To surrender a pet, complete an Intake Form. Email it to intake@hsdr.org along with medical records and a photo of the pet. Documents will be reviewed and you will be contacted when a spot becomes available. Intake is by appointment only Monday - Friday.
Please choose the correct form, fill out and submit with necessary paperwork and a photo for review.
**Note: When you surrender a pet, you are relinquishing all ownership rights. No information about your pet will be provided after surrender. It is always best to re-home a pet yourself. A shelter should be the last resort. A $50.00 surrender fee applies.
