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.
REHOMING TIPS:
Share:
- PICTURES!
- Stats (size, weight, age)
- Story (how'd you find them, why are you giving them up)
- Personality (treat motivated, cuddler, social, etc.)
- Training (housebroken, crate-trained, litterbox-trained, known commands, etc.)
- Veterinary care (up-to-date on shots, spayed/neutered, known conditions, etc.)
