Owner Surrender Policy
Secondhand Snoots is a rescue group whose focus is saving animals from high kill animal control facilities. This does not mean that if you surrender your pet to your local shelter that we will automatically be able to save him/her.
As the owner of a pet, only you can make the right choices for the health, safety, and wellness of the animal whose life you have chosen to be responsible for.
Please consider all options before surrendering your pet to any shelter or animal control facility. Your pet has no idea what you are doing or why. Because your pet is an owner surrender a lot of high-kill facilities will euthanize your pet within a few days, if not immediately.
However, we may be able to work with you to find a new home for your dog if you're willing and able to agree to the following provisions:
