Alternatives To Surrendering
Choosing to surrender your pet is an incredibly difficult decision. The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth is working to put supports and programs in place to help people and pets stay together. We may be able to help you keep your pet at home or there may be alternative re-homing options to consider. Please review the following programs and resources before surrendering your pet.
Why are you thinking of surrendering your pet?

- I’ve experienced a domestic of disaster situation - Emergency Boarding Service
- I’m struggling with behaviour challenges - Behaviour & Training Resources
Other Rehoming Options
Sometimes it’s just not possible to keep a pet. Before surrendering, you could consider other re-homing options, like self re-homing.
The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth is proud to offer self re-homing services through a partnership with Home-To-Home Animal Adoption. This service helps us to keep pets our of shelters, and with their owners until they can find a direct home placement.
