When You Have to Give Up Your Pet....

No one likes to think about it, but sometimes pet owners have to give up their pets. It may be due to a change in living situations, a new baby, allergies, relocation, illness or death, or any number of reasons.

To help these pet owners, the Hinsdale Humane Society provides an owner surrender service. There is a $50.00 surrender fee to help cover costs, such as food, medical care, shelter care, fresh bedding and toys. An appointment is required.

All efforts are made to make the transition process as comfortable for the pet as possible. HHS Staff and volunteers are trained to comfort and care for pets during this period of change. All animals are evaluated by our medical and behavioral experts for our adoption program. This allows us to make the best possible adoption match.

Please take some time to read Guidelines for Finding a Responsible Home for Your Pet.
