Surrender a Pet

We here at the Battlefords Humane Society understand that making the decision to surrender your fur baby is not an easy one. You have probably thought long and hard and at one point didn't know where to turn to. We can assure you that you have come to the right place. We take great pride in our work and have a passion and love for animals.

Process of Surrender

We strive to make each animal here at the shelter feel at home with love and attention and we will work very hard to match each fur baby with the best suited loving home and family. If you are needing to surrender your pet please click on the button below and complete the required form to start the process. Please note that we don't always have the room to be able to take them in right away, but we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Why Surrender Management Matters

You get to show them what a family life feels like, what a warm blanket and bed with toys is all about. You get to introduce them to family time and walks, treats, snuggles and cuddles and how it feels to be loved.

Reduces Overcrowding

By managing surrenders thoughtfully, this helps our team avoid overcrowding, while ensuring every animal has the space, care, and attention they need to thrive.

Provides Optimal Care

With proper planning, our team at the shelter can meet each animal’s unique intake needs—whether it’s medical care, training, or emotional support—setting them up for successful adoptions.

Promotes Responsible Pet Ownership

A thoughtful surrender process helps pet owners make kind and ethical decisions for their beloved animals. By offering resources, guidance, and alternatives, the Battlefords Humane Society empower owners to explore every option to keep pets in loving homes or ensure they transition to a safe and caring environment when surrender is the best choice.

Maximizes Resources

Careful surrender management allows our team to ensure space and resources are used wisely to focus on helping as many animals as possible.

Builds Community Trust

We believe a compassionate and open surrender management process allows us to strengthen connections with our community, while fostering support and encouraging people to adopt, volunteer, or donate.

Creates Better Outcomes for Animals

Animals experience shorter stays, improved health, and a better chance of finding—and staying in—their forever homes when surrender is managed with care.

Help be the Change in an Animal's Life

Each animal currently available for adoption has his or her own special story and some have yet to feel the comfort and security of a loving home. You're not just adopting a pet, you're saving a life.
