We're very sorry to hear you're thinking of surrendering your dog. If you would be able to keep your dog at home with resources and recommendations, please contact us and we will try to help you as best we can. We want every beloved dog to be able to stay with their families, when it's possible and safe to do so. 

​

Please note if you have purchased your dog from a reputable breeder or adopted your dog from a rescue organization, they will more than likely require you to return your dog to them if you need to rehome. Please make sure you have checked with the appropriate parties before submitting a request to surrender to our rescue. 

​

Please also consider that the United States is in a crisis right now with shelters and rescues overflowing with dogs and cats and other animals. There are not enough shelters, rescues, fosters, or adopters to keep up with the extreme number of unwanted animals. Healthy, young dogs with zero behavioral problems are not getting adopted. Shelters are having to make terrible decisions daily due to lack of space. For the sake of your dog, animal welfare workers, and other animals, please consider trying everything you can to keep your dog (if it is safe to do so).

What to expect when requesting to surrender your dog

​

• Submit a Surrender Request Form and include as much detail as possible.

• We will review the details on the form and ask follow up questions.

• We will ask for any and all veterinary information you have to determine if your dog is spayed/neutered and up-to-date on core vaccinations, as that impacts what we are able to help with (as a new, small rescue, we are limited on funds).

• If we agree to take your dog into our rescue, we will require you to bring your dog to Jezzie's Place, with any belongings and paperwork you have. 

• We require you to sign our Surrender Agreement. 

• Due to resources (physical space, financial, veterinary, training, etc.), we are unfortunately not able to accept all owner surrenders into our rescue. If unable to help, we will to our best to suggest other recommendations. 

 

*Please note that Jezzie’s Place reserves the right to refuse any owner surrender request.
