Small Animal Surrender Questionnaire

Fill Out Small Animal Surrender Questionnaire

PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING THIS FORM:

Lake Humane Society is a managed intake facility, which means we do not euthanize healthy animals for time or space. All of our animals that come in, stay until they are adopted out to loving homes! Because of this, we almost always work off of a waitlist for new intakes and schedule surrender appointments based off of the amount of adoptions we go through in a day, on top of helping any animals our humane agent may bring in.

While we try to help any animal that needs to be surrendered, there are circumstances that the animal may not be a good fit at our facility. If we cannot accept it, we will try to provide any other resources we may have to help assist you.

PLEASE NOTE: Intakes are by appointment only.
