Owner Surrenders
Have you tried privately rehoming your pet? If your pet is safe and healthy, you may have success finding a new home for your pet. Try posting in local Facebook groups created for rehoming, use Adopt a Pet’s rehoming site (https://rehome.adoptapet.com/) for your pet to be listed alongside current adoptable shelter and rescue animals, and network with your friends and family.
Helping Hands Humane Society does accept owner surrenders from within Shawnee County, Kansas for families who have nowhere else to turn in the difficult situation of having to give up a pet. We require that you schedule an appointment at least two weeks out so we can provide the best possible care to the hundreds of animals we house. To schedule, please call us at 785-233-7325 and ask to speak to Admissions. Donations are always appreciated.
While we cannot guarantee a positive outcome for any pet entering our shelter, we do promise to do everything we can for them with the resources we have. Our priority is to protect everyone in our community (humans and animals) by adopting out safe and healthy pets.
