Frequently Asked Questions
I am planning to get a dog for my family. I’ve been to many dog shows and have had quite a few conversations with people who have tried to get a dog from the shelter. I’ve also talked with people who have adopted pets from shelters and how they feel about it all. I’ve heard horror stories from friends and acquaintances of mine. I’ve seen many posts on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms of people discussing how their pets have died or hurt them in some other way. It really makes me sick to think that people are so cruel. I believe that most people are good people, but unfortunately people can be very cruel when it comes to their pets.

So how do we join a dog club?
The first step is making a phone call to the organization to let them know that you would like to surrender your dog. In some cases, they will ask you several questions about the dog and about your reasons for surrendering him. If the facility does not answer, you can move forward with bringing the animal in the shelter or rescue.
As more animal welfare facilities are learning the importance of trying to keep dogs in their homes, they may offer or suggest talking with someone who could help you work on the issues that are making you want to surrender the dog. They may offer advice about animal training, day care facilities, where to find financial assistance, and other concerns. You can also refer to our Dog Tips guide if you are interested in learning more about how to help some common dog ownership questions.
Once the decision to surrender is final, and the shelter has agreed to take the pet, you’ll bring the dog to the facility, pay a fee, and sign the pet over to the organization.
When you leave, the fate of the pet is out of your hands. Sadly, many healthy pets are at risk of euthanasia after being surrendered. Some are afraid of the shelter environment which can cause a normally well-mannered dog to behave aggressively out of fear. Such behavior decreases the chances the dog will be adopted. The lucky dogs will find new homes, but you’ll have no input into the type of family that is allowed to adopt your pe
The cost to give your dog up can be anywhere between $50 and $150. The cost depends on a number of factors, including the location, the type of facility and the age of the pet. It is possible to charge less per pet for surrendering entire litters. Some private rescues don’t charge a fee if they accept a dog for surrender, but this isn’t always the case.
