Ensure your pet's safety by bringing them in a secure container.
🚫 What we're not accepting: Domestic pets like dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, and chickens. If you have domestic animals, inquire with local shelters or rescues for rehoming options. We also cannot take Wisconsin Native Wildlife that has been taken from the wild. Animals originating from out of state need a CVI.
📸 Event Highlights:
• Surrender your pets in a safe, judgement free environment
• Meet animal ambassadors and learn about their stories.
• Capture memories at our photobooth with rescued pets!
In some areas, rehoming options for exotic animals are limited, and releasing them is harmful to both the animal and the environment. We're here to provide a compassionate alternative.
After a brief quarantine period, all surrendered animals will be available for adoption. Ensure your pet's safety by bringing them in a secure container.
