Surrender Program

  • Fill out the form above to get on our waiting list.

  • Send us the veterinarian records for your pet to info@scruffytails.org.

  • We will contact you to set up a surrender appointment.

  • At your appointment, you can expect to fill out paperwork, while a staff member evaluates your pet.

    Things to Note:

  • We cannot guarantee that we will take your pet.

  • The surrender list is NOT on a first come first serve basis. We aim to help as many pets as we can, and some pets may need more immediate assistance.

  • The time limit on the waiting list varies based on how many adoptions we get, how many strays come in, etc.

Surrender Checklist:

We know how hard surrendering a beloved pet may be. We hope to make the process as easy as we can, while still being mindful of our other pets. Surrendering is one of the ways we get animals in our shelter, typically through no fault of their own, and there are many reasons that animals are surrendered. The more information you provide in your surrender forms, the better.
