Surrenders are admitted by appointment only.
At the time of your appointment, please bring the following with you:
- A $50 surrender fee for each animal surrendered. This fee will assist us with the ongoing care and medical needs of your pet while in the Adoption Centre
- Vaccination, desexing and microchip certificates
- Any medical history
- If you are not the carer, a signed letter from the carer giving you permission to surrender the animal on their behalf
- Any items belonging to the animal such as bedding and toys.
If you have decided that surrendering your pet is the best option for you at this time, please complete the relevant form below:
Surrendering a Pet to Lort Smith
At Lort Smith, we understand that surrendering a pet is a difficult decision. Our team is here to provide support, but we ask you to understand that completing a Surrender Enquiry Form does not guarantee we will be able to accept your pet.
Important Information
- Assessment Process: When you submit a surrender form, our team will review the information provided. Each surrender request is assessed based on our capacity and the specific needs of your pet.
- No Guarantee of Acceptance: Completing the form is simply an enquiry. It helps us understand your pet’s circumstances, but it does not ensure that we will be able to accept the surrender.
