Surrendering a Pet

As an open-admission shelter, Hall County Animal Shelter accepts all animals, and though we understand it may be necessary to give up a pet, the shelter should be a last resort.

If rehoming your pet is necessary, consider privately rehoming your pet. This option not only keeps your pet out of the shelter, which is a stressful experience for an animal accustomed to being in a home, but you can provide crucial information about your pet for potential adopters. No one knows your pet better than you.
