Surrender an Animal

Need to surrender a pet? Submit a surrender request to your local rescue organization through Pawtice. We will help find the best placement for your animal.

About the Surrender Process

Surrendering a pet is a difficult decision. Pawtice connects people who need to surrender an animal with rescue organizations that can help find a safe, caring placement. Filling out this form sends your request to rescue coordinators in your area who can assess whether they have capacity to help.

What to Expect

  1. Fill out the surrender request form with your animal's species, breed, age, and any medical or behavioral information.
  2. Rescue coordinators in your area will review the request and reach out if they have capacity to accept your animal.
  3. If a rescue can help, they will coordinate intake, including any necessary health screening and documentation.

Before You Surrender

If you are struggling to keep your pet due to temporary circumstances like housing instability, medical issues, or financial hardship, some rescue organizations can provide short-term foster support rather than permanent surrender. Mention your situation in the request form so coordinators can suggest the right option.
