Surrendering Your Pet

Please be advised that cat intakes will be paused until further notice due to a positive case of ringworm found in our communal rooms.  As a result, the main cat room of the GTHS remains closed to visitors, and main room feline adoptions are paused temporarily to accommodate infection control in order to protect our cat population.

We ask for your patience and support as we care for the animals. We will keep you updated as to when we can once again accommodate feline intakes.  

At the GTHS, we understand that sometimes you have to make the difficult decision to give up your pet. We offer a surrender program to meet this need. As a charity that operates without government funding, we do ask for surrender fees. We will not turn away an animal based on an inability to pay the surrender fee. By contributing to our program you ensure that we can continue to help animals in need. If our Animal Centre is full, we will ask that you join our waiting list. We accept animals based on our resources and our ability to provide high quality of care. Once surrendered, your pet will receive a veterinary examination, spay/neuter surgery if needed, behaviour assessment and when ready, she/he will be placed for adoption.
