Pet Surrenders

Surrendering Your Dog or Cat

At the Humane Society of Northwest Montana, we understand that making the decision to surrender your pet is never easy. Life circumstances such as financial hardship, health issues, or changes in living situations can make it difficult to continue caring for a beloved dog or cat. Our goal is to provide a respectful, supportive, and judgment-free environment for pet owners facing this tough choice.

Because we are almost always operating at full capacity, we are unable to accept walk-in surrenders. If you are considering surrendering your pet, please complete our Surrender Request Form to begin the process. Once we receive your form, your pet will be placed on our wait list, and a member of our team will contact you as soon as space becomes available. Please know that we are not set up to accommodate every animal. Aggressive, under socialized, or animals with significant health/behavioral issues will not be able to be accepted.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to accommodate each animal in need while maintaining the highest standards of care for those already in our shelter.
