Surrendering a Pet
At PVHS, we understand that making the decision to surrender an animal can be difficult. Our goal is always to ensure the best possible outcome for every animal while balancing the needs and capacity of the shelter.
Submitting this form helps our team learn more about the animal and determine how we may be able to help. Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee immediate intake, as space and resources can vary.
Before You Decide to Surrender
Many challenges with pets can be resolved with the right support. If you are able, we encourage you to explore options that may allow your pet to remain in their home.
Some resources that may help include:
- Speaking with your veterinarian about medical or behavioural concerns
- Working with a trainer or behaviour specialist
- Rehoming your pet with a trusted friend or family member
- Temporary support from friends, family, or pet sitters during difficult life changes
If you have already explored these options, please complete the intake request form below so our team can review your situation.

Due to High Intake Requests
Our shelter receives a large number of intake requests and space is limited. Because of this:
- Not all surrender requests can be accommodated
- Response times may vary depending on the volume of requests
- We do maintain a waitlist for approved submissions when the shelter is full
We appreciate your patience while our team reviews submissions and works to provide the best care for animals already in our shelter.
