Voluntary Animal Turn In


We understand that making the decision to euthanize your family pet is very difficult.  We ask you to fully consider all options before deciding on euthanasia. There are many good reasons to arrive at this decision and the reason should always consider the most humane action for the animal.

 

Many shelters or foster homes will accept your animal and attempt to adopt it to a willing new owner.  Again, please consider what is most humane for the animal.

 

As a service the animal shelter does provide euthanasia services.  We ask that the owner transfer the animal to the shelter and sign a release form.  We request the owner pay a fee of $50 to cover the costs for the procedure and administrative fees.

 

By shelter policy, we generally do not allow the owners to be present during the actual procedure since complications may and do occur.  Many veterinarians however, do allow the owners to be present during the procedure.  For more information please contact your own veterinarian or call us for more information.
