Surrendering
Surrendering an animal can be a very hard thing to do.  Some animals are not right for the family and some families are not right for the animal.

  1. If the animal is yours, you must put an ad in the paper in an attempt to place the animal yourself.  The Aberdeen American News will usually run a 3 line ad for 3 days FREE if you are offering your animal free to a good home.
  2. If you do not find a home for your animal, call us and we will take your animal if we have space or  will place you on our waiting list.
  3. You must have the receipt for your ad prior to our accepting the animal.
  4. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER UNATTENDED!!!  This can be very dangerous to the animal.
Surrender fees are as follows:
Dogs  $20.00
Cats  $15.00
Puppies  $12.00 for the 1st, $6.00 each after
Kittens  $10.00 for the 1st, $5.00 each after
(TAX INCLUDED)

If we are full, we will put you on a waiting list and call you as soon as there is an opening.  This might be a day or possibly a week.
