Owner Surrender

Surrendering Your Pet

We understand the decision to surrender your pet does not come easily. Depending on the space available, temperament, and health of the animal we may be able to assist. We are not able to accept feral cats and kittens.

Please contact the Shelter by phone or email to speak with a staff member about our process, available space, and related fees prior to your visit.

The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) considers cats to be free-roaming. If you are experiencing issues with feral or stray cats in your area, we suggest contacting a trap and release program.

Rescue Resources

We encourage you to contact local rescues, as well, if you need to rehome your pet. You can find our most updated list of rescue groups here.

FAQs

  • Does my dog have to wear his/her license tag? ‐
    First of all, it is the law. Also, wearing the license tag is the quickest way for your dog to be returned to you if he/she becomes lost.
  • Do you accept credit/debit cards as payment? ‐
    Yes, the Miami County Animal Shelter accepts credit/debit cards (there is a 2.7% processing fee for credit/debit cards), cash, and checks with photo identification. No starter checks, please.
  • How soon are dogs available for adoption after they arrive at the animal shelter? ‐
    Dogs wearing current license tags must be held for 14 days. Dogs without license tags must be held 3 business days. After that time period the dog may be available for adoption and they are kept for as long as it takes and we have room.
