Small Mammal Surrender Questionnaire

Small Mammal Questionnaire

We understand that the decision to surrender a pet is not easy. We do our best to help every person that comes to us. Sometimes, there are better re-homing options, and we may recommend other resources, depending on your pet’s needs. Here is a link to other organizations in the area.

We are a private, non-profit, no-kill shelter with a 98% live release rate. We operate on an appointment-based schedule, and operate on a waitlist. Once a small mammal is adopted, we will contact you to get more information and discuss next steps. If you need immediate assistance, we recommend contacting your municipal shelter. If you are returning a pet within 2 weeks of adoption, we can usually offer an appointment within 48 hours of receiving this form.

We have a few questions that will help us assist you and your pet. Please be as detailed as possible when answering. Once we have received your questionnaire we will be in touch (usually by phone) to get more information and discuss next steps.
