Animal Surrenders
Before turning your animal over to PAWS, think twice. The PAWS volunteers are more than willing to help with PCSing problems and assistance. Take a look at this site and consider taking your pet with you in a PCS.
PAWS is only equipped to accept cats and dogs into the shelter, other exotic animals will not be accepted.
The first step to turning your animal over to PAWS is to contact us by email. This is always the best way to reach us. In your email please state the animal you wish to turn in, why you wish to turn it in and a little about the animal.
For cats you will need to have an updated Vaccination Certificate stating the cats vaccines are not coming due within 90 days of the turn in of the animal. Your cat also needs an updated FELV/FIV test with results shown on the Vaccination Certificate. Your cat’s microchip identification number also needs to be listed on the Certificate. There will also be a turn in fee.
For dogs, please email us and the PAWS volunteers will direct you in what needs to be done for turn in.
Please note that PAWS does not always have open space for incoming pets. We reserve the right to turn down any surrender at anytime.
