Surrender

Having to part with our beloved pets may be a heartbreaking experience, and here at BCS we will not judge you for the difficult decision you're making in placing your animal in our care. Life can be harsh, and sometimes our best plans go astray, leaving us with stressful and discouraging situations. We do our best to make sure the new placement goes as easily as possible for all parties involved, including your little friend. If we have difficulty due to limited space or resources, the network of connections we have can and will provide needed help.

We strongly encourage you to provide the original enclosure, even if it's not the right size. This minimizes the stress of the transfer on the animal and can serve to house other animals in the care of the rescue of more appropriate size if this is the case. The old enclosure is not a requirement, but it is helpful as there may be limited options available at the rescue.

There are no surrender fees on animals brought to us, and note, we will not pay you to surrender an animal. We won't absolutely refuse a sick or injured animal, as we are called rescue for a reason, and we have quarantine procedures in place to protect other animals. 

*Please note we only accept Reptiles, Chickens/Birds, Amphibians, and Small Mammals into our rescue.

We will only accept animals in on case by case basis so please don't be offended if we cannot take your animal.
