Owner Surrender

Surrendering a Pet to Wags & Whiskers

Surrendering a pet is never an easy decision and Wags & Whiskers recognizes there are situations in which rehoming an animal is necessary. As such, we are happy to help with owner surrenders where we can.

PLEASE NOTE:

If the pet you are surrendering is a dog, our training team will be in touch to set up a temperament test to evaluate if the dog is a good fit for any of our foster homes.

PLEASE NOTE: Temperament tests happen in South Minneapolis. Owners must be willing to drive to meet our volunteer at this location.  

Owner Surrender Process:

Before completing the surrender application, please ensure that all the criteria outlined on this page is met and that you are fully committed to surrendering your animal. We are a volunteer based rescue and we need to focus on those who are fully committed and ready to surrender their animal to Wags & Whiskers. Postponements and cancellations of temperament tests are not acceptable and may result in Wags & Whiskers denying your application.
