At Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, we strive to provide compassion and understanding to owners considering surrendering their pets. If you have exhausted all options to rehome your pet, please complete the form below to inquire about surrendering. The surrender fee is $500 per pet. If your pet has bitten or broken skin in the last six months, please include this information in your submission.
Due to our limited space and resources, placement is not guaranteed. We receive a high volume of surrender requests and do our best to respond to all inquiries. However, it may take up to 3-4 weeks to hear back from us. Please wait for our response before bringing your pet to the shelter. Arriving without an appointment can cause unnecessary stress for your pet and may impact their chances of being placed.
Our shelter is often at capacity, especially during summer months. If you find a healthy, thriving stray cat, leaving them in the community may be their best option. For stray dogs, please contact your local animal control office for guidance.
We aim to empower pet owners to explore all alternatives before surrendering. Not all pets are suited for shelter placement. We encourage you to consider private rehoming or other support options as alternatives.
As the pet’s owner, you are in the best position to find them a new home. Before applying for surrender, consider using rehoming platforms like Home to Home to find a new family for your pet.
