The thought of surrendering a pet is never easy. But, in the case you’re faced with a situation where you can no longer safely house your pet, Humane Animal Partners is here to help you navigate this stressful and emotional time.
We do our best to accommodate the many requests we receive to help rehome animals in our community. However, since we are a no-kill organization that does not euthanize to make room for more animals, we do not always have space to accommodate all surrender requests.
Before choosing to surrender your pet into the shelter system, please consider this rehoming service instead:
Animal intake is available at our New Castle County sites only (Wilmington and Stanton/Christiana).
A surrender request form must be filled out in order to be considered. We are not able to take walk-in animal surrenders as assessments are performed based on availability of our medical team. We cannot guarantee in advance that we will be able to accept any animal.
Please complete the appropriate form below and a staff member will follow up with you. Due to the high volume of requests received, it may take up to several weeks to receive a response, but we will do everything within our ability to answer your inquiry quickly.
