We can only accept pet surrenders from
residents of Osceola County, Florida.
The surrender form begins under this procedures list.
An appointment is required for all pet surrenders; citizens cannot just bring their animals to the shelter for surrender at any time.
► Through this process citizens will create their own surrender appointments for available dates and times.
► Through this process, we can maintain a safer shelter, free from overcrowding. Overcrowding increases illness and stress among the animals.
How it works:
► The citizen completes the surrender request form linked below.
► You will send us information on the animal or animals that you would like to surrender as well as schedule the date and time of the surrender(s).
► We can accept one dog per appointment.
►We can accept up to two cats in the first cat appointment.
► We request that you attempt to rehome the animal yourself, if possible. We have assembled a Pet Rehome Resource page to help you with this task. The link is below.
Estimated surrender wait time in days: 150 |
By submitting this form, you agree to the following conditions:
1. I understand that the surrender wait time can be quite lengthy due to high demand for this service.
2. I understand that there are no walk-in or same day appointments due to demand.
3. I understand that, when surrendering an animal to Osceola County Animal Services, the surrendered animal then becomes the property of Osceola County.
We work hard to find every surrendered animal a new home, but understand that we will make decisions on what we and our veterinary staff believe is in the best interest of both the animal and the citizens of Osceola County.
