FEES
Haven Pet Center functions as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, relying exclusively on the support of our local community, devoid of any external city, state, or federal funding. Our commitment to addressing the diverse needs of every animal in our care ensures their well-being until we secure a fitting and loving home. While the admission fees may not entirely cover the comprehensive expenses associated with the meticulous care of your pet, they play a pivotal role in furnishing us with indispensable resources. These funds are crucial for maintaining your pet’s safety and well-being throughout the intricate rehoming process. To streamline the admission of a pet into our care for rehoming, the following fees are in effect:
| Surrender Fee (single dog) | $300+ additional costs for spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming, and microchipping. |
| Surrender Fee (Litters) | Fees vary. |
Your collaboration and support in this endeavor not only contribute to the financial sustainability of our mission but also affirm our collective commitment to creating a sanctuary where all the remarkable souls entrusted to us experience love and care. Together, we embark on a journey to ensure the well-being of every cherished pet that seeks refuge within Haven Pet Center.
PET ADMISSIONS ARE ACCEPTED BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
For your pet to be considered for admission to Haven Pet Center, please fill out the form below. If your pet meets our criteria, you will be contacted for a health and behavior assessment appointment.
Owner Surrender Policies & Procedures
The admissions process is expected to last approximately 1 hour. Our Intake Team conducts a behavior assessment for each dog and puppy to evaluate their temperament. If a dog being surrendered does not meet our assessment criteria, regrettably, we won’t be able to admit them into our care. However, we will offer alternative suggestions to assist you in finding suitable solutions for the well-being of the animal.
The admissions process will take 1 hour. Please bring your cat in a carrier if possible, however, we do not accept surrenders of cats or kittens in traps. We do not admit feral cats or feral kittens.
We are unable to take in any animal with the following:
- Animals with attack training history
- Pets displaying aggressive or unsociable behavior during behavior assessments
- Animals deemed physically unsuitable for adoption based on health examinations
- Feral cats
- Lost or stray animals should be taken to the local county animal services.
Additionally, if you choose not to take the animal to a public shelter, you are required to place advertisements in local newspapers and distribute “Found” flyers in the area where you found the dog for a minimum of ten days. Only after this period can you legally claim ownership of the animal and proceed with re-homing efforts.
