Surrender Policy

Taylor County Humane Society

Surrender Policy

We understand that making the decision to surrender a pet is very difficult and we are committed to working with you to find the best possible solution for you and your pet.

Admissions Process

If you decide that surrendering your pet to TCHS is the right option, please be aware that we follow a managed admission philosophy for all incoming animals. This means that we request all customers schedule an appointment before bringing an animal, including strays, to our facility. Utilizing a managed admission process ensures we have the resources to give each animal the best care and accommodations we can provide and allows us to properly isolate, treat and prevent illness from spreading to at-risk populations. Managing the admission of animals helps us plan and prepare, instead of react, and allows us to save more lives.

Appointment Process

If you are unable to, we need written and signed consent from you naming another person to act as your agent and that you authorize this agent to bring the animal in on your behalf.  All cats should be in a carrier and all dogs should be wearing a collar and leash.
