Pets are part of our family, and families should
If you're finding it difficult to care for your cherished pets and feel that surrendering them to a shelter is your only choice, Animal Friends is here to help. We offer a variety of services designed to support you in keeping your family intact during challenging times. At Animal Friends, we believe in exploring every option before you face the tough decision to surrender your pets.
Our Pet Retention services provide pet owners in need with resources to help them care for their pets and prevent unnecessary surrenders due to financial hardship.

Other Rehoming Options:

H2H Rehoming Program
Before surrendering a pet to Animal Friends, we encourage you to consider our home to home adoption program, H2H Rehoming.
This program was developed to help families who need to make the difficult decision to rehome their beloved pets, but wish to take a more active role in the adoption process.
You will have the ability to screen and meet future adopters to determine if they are the right fit as a new home.
Surrender Applications
Animal Friends cares for each year
Our goal is to admit and place as many animals as possible while maintaining our no-kill policy. We do not euthanize animals to make space, so all admissions must be scheduled in advance.
We request a $25 surrender fee to help cover the cost of food, medical care, and other expenses. For mother cats with litters, we ask for $25 for the mother and $25 for the kittens.

After submitting your application, our Admissions team will review it and contact you to schedule an appointment when space is available. Please note that all dogs must complete an initial behavioral assessment prior to being scheduled for admission.
If you have any questions, please contact our Admissions team.
