Owner Surrender
Rehoming your family member is a difficult decision. If your animal has behavior issues, there may be solutions -- such as training -- to help solve the problems. See “Dog Training” below.
We would love to help your pet if we are able. If you need to surrender your pet to The Haley Graves Foundation, please complete the surrender form below. If you are located more than 45 minutes from our headquarters, please pursue other options for rehoming your pet. We cannot guarantee that your dog will be the right fit for our program.
Because the owner surrender rate is so high in this area, shelters and rescues may be full. Below are some resources that can help you and your pet find a good solution.
- How to rehome your pet yourself:
- List your pet on adoptapet.com.
- Post your pet on nextdoor.com of your local neighborhood.
- Use your personal network. Reach out through social media, friends, your veterinarian, etc.
- Check potential adopter’s references by asking if they have previously had pets. Request the name of their veterinarian so you can call to see if they provided regular vet care. Questions to ask the vet:
- Did they come in for annual vet care?
- Are their pets up-to-date on their vaccinations?
- Did they purchase heartworm preventative medication?
- Are their current pets spayed and/or neutered?
- If they haven’t had prior pets, ask for personal, non-related references.
- Be patient. You want to find someone who will be responsible and is financially able to provide care.
- Please understand that moving your pet to a new home will be disruptive to them and they will need someone who is patient and understanding.
- How to rehome your pet via rescues:
- Reach out to all community rescues (see list below).
- Is your animal a specific breed? Most breeds have their own rescue groups! Check out this national list, or use Google to search for local breed rescue groups.
If you cannot rehome your pet through any of the above methods, refer to your local municipal animal shelter. Check hours of operation before going to a shelter. You may need an appointment. Please know that some of these shelters euthanize for space, so make this decision carefully.
