HSBC asks that any family considering the surrender of an animal exhaust all other opportunities before contacting the shelter. Many pets who have only known home life do not do well in the shelter environment. If an animal is stressed, withdrawn, or depressed, it can take much longer to find a new home. Consider checking with family and friends first. Breed rescues are another great option, as many of these animals are cared for in home environments.

The care and adoption of strays remain our first priority. Surrenders will only be taken by appointment pending available space and adoptability requirements. All surrenders are at the discretion of the HSBC board of directors, and a surrender fee may apply.

Surrender Fees:
Dogs $50
Cat $25
