Surrendering your pet

If you are thinking about surrendering your dog, please exhaust every possibility for keeping your best friend in the home he knows and finds comfortable. Please do not add another animal to the vast numbers of the homeless unless you have absolutely no other choice!

  • Have you considered a temporary foster home until you can resolve the issues that force you to surrender your dog? 
    • Check out the Safe Haven Programs listed at United States Humane Society Safe Haven Program or Seer Farm Sanctuary, which are national networks of temporary fostering/boarding when people might be forced to part with bonded companions because of personal or family crisis, including domestic violence, eviction, hospitalization for physical or mental treatments, etc. Their goal is to reunite people with their companions when the crisis is resolved whether it be days, months or years. 
    • Are you or someone you know being deployed? Have them contact  Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet  for cats & dogs, and  Dogs On Deployment  or  NetPets  MilitaryPetsFoster for dogs.
  • ​Please think twice before marketing your dog on Craigslist or similar site. Lots of bad things can happen to pets rehomed this way (ie: dog fighting, abuse/neglect, use in research facilities, pet-flipping, etc.)
  • Please don't rehome an unaltered dog. Spaying and neutering your pet and ensuring they are up-to-date with all medical needs will help them find a new home faster.

​ Knine Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We do not have a kennel or visiting hours. We are made up of foster homes & volunteers. Only very few dogs at a time can be taken in to re-home. Before surrendering your dog to Knine Rescue, a volunteer MUST meet your dog to conduct a behavioral assessment to see if a suitable foster is available. 

  • If we have a suitable foster, you will be required to sign a surrender form, and provide a complete copy of vet records. Should the dog not be spayed/neutered, microchipped, or up-to-date on vaccinations, we kindly ask for a donation to get them ready for adoption.
  • If we do not have a suitable foster, if you can continue to provide a safe home for your dog, we can help advertise it and vet applications for you. 
  • If you we do not have a suitable foster and you can no longer provide a safe home for your dog, a surrender donation could help us pay for temporary boarding until a foster home becomes available. 

We will need: copy of vet records ($50 for missing vax)
