**PLEASE NOTE THAT UNLESS THE ANIMAL IS ADOPTED FROM REJOYCEFUL RESUCE, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT OUT OF STATE SURRENDERS**

​

Pets are given up for a number of reasons: financial concerns, illness, moving to a home that doesn’t welcome pets, allergies, pet behavior issues, and unwanted litters, just to name a few.

​

ReJoyceful Rescue offers many resources to help keep animals in loving homes. We urges pet owners to consider other options before surrendering their animal. We understand that there are times when keeping a pet is just not possible. Please review the following information for our surrender policy and process. **Please note: We are a foster-based rescue. All animals brought into our care are placed into foster homes. We cannot take every animal we receive a request for,  however we do our best to place those most in need**

Before You Decide to Surrender Your Pet

Please consider the following resources which have helped many people and their pets:

• Check with relatives or friends who may be willing and able to provide your pet with a loving home.

• Finding a pet friendly apartment may take a little more effort, but today there are many more rental options for people with pets. Try visiting one of many websites tailored to the needs of pet owners, such as rent.com, peoplewithpets.com or ApartmentList.com. Such websites save you time and effort by allowing you to search for apartments in various communities, in your target price range, that can accommodate your companion animal.
