Rehoming
Your Pet

Rehoming a pet is never an easy decision. The Humane Society of Central Oregon is here to help in those instances where there may be circumstances that prevent you from keeping your pet.

GoodPup Training:
GoodPup offers affordable 1-1 training, at home and on your schedule, with trainers ready to help 24/7! Behavior is one of the top reasons dogs are surrendered to shelters like HSCO. If your dog is struggling with a behavior issue, please reach out to GoodPup to see if they can help! Click here

Before surrendering to HSCO, we hope you will first consider using Home To Home to rehome your pet. Home To Home is a free website that allows you to list your pet and directly participate in the rehoming process – which is not possible after surrendering your pet to our shelter. Often this is the least stressful option for your family and your pet and it can help save precious shelter resources! If you are not successful rehoming your animal yourself, you can always reach out to us at the shelter to schedule an appointment.

To provide the best service to our community and the best care possible for our shelter animals, HSCO schedules owner surrenders. To request an appointment to surrender your pet, please complete the appropriate form(s) below. Please take your time filling this form out as we will use this information to make thoughtful and compassionate future decisions regarding the ongoing care of your pet.

Things to Note:
Once this form is submitted, a HSCO representative will contact you within 1-2 business days to schedule an appointment. We know this is a difficult decision, but please be thoughtful about the time that this process will take. Avoiding a rush when possible will ultimately result in a less stressful experience for you and your pet.
‍
We will make every effort to schedule intakes in as timely a manner as possible. However, depending on the volume of requests, individual needs of the animal, and current HSCO resources, appointments may be scheduled as far out as two weeks (or longer in some circumstances.) 

Emergency Surrenders:
HSCO will always be here for community members experiencing crisis and/or emergency. Emergency and same day intakes will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If possible, please submit an intake request form to expedite intake. Call the shelter at 541-382-3537 ext. 0 for immediate assistance.
‍
For the most expedited service possible, please fill out the appropriate intake request form prior to calling the shelter.
‍
Don't forget! Post your pet on Home To Home while you are awaiting your intake appointment.
