Surrender a Dog

***July 7/2022 Update: PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING OWNER SURRENDERS. OUR RESCUE (LIKE MOST ACROSS THE PROVINCE) IS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH THE AMOUNT OF SURRENDER REQUESTS WE ARE RECEIVING DAILY. WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE WAITLIST OF DOGS IN SHELTERS AND DOGS THAT ARE LIVING AS STRAYS THAT NEED TO TAKE PRIORITY. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT A SURRENDER REQUEST AT THIS TIME AS WE WILL NOT BE RESPONDING. THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED IF/WHEN SPACE ALLOWS.***

Surrendering a dog should be a last resort after having exhausted all other options as this is a very stressful and confusing experience for all dogs. If you are opting to surrender your dog due to lack of training please understand that behavioural dogs are extremely difficult to place. We urge you to consult with a certified canine trainer to help you and your dog before resorting to rehoming. Please keep in mind that we do not have the foster space or resources to accept all owner surrenders. If you would like to inquire about whether we are able to accept your dog in our rescue program please complete the following questionnaire in full. We do charge a surrender fee of $150 to help cover the costs involved with preparing the dog for adoption. If you are unable to afford the surrender fee please indicate this when completing the surrender form. Once we have reviewed your surrender request a volunteer will contact you to schedule a behaviour assessment to ensure your dog is suitable for our rescue program.

If you have decided to re-home your dog yourself please be sure to properly screen all potential homes and never give a dog away for free. If you would like advice on screening potential homes please reach out to us. Remember that bringing your dog to a public shelter such as the OSPCA is always better than giving your dog to someone that you do not trust.
