Surrendering a PetAre you considering giving up your pet? You are not alone, and almost half of the pets that come to Southern Pines each year are given up by their owners. The decision to give up your pet can be a difficult one, but Southern Pines is here to help.
Southern Pines may be able to offer you alternatives to giving up your pet. If the reason you are thinking of surrendering your pet is behavioral, financial, or because you are moving, we may be able to help. If you get to the point where you believe rehoming your animal is the only option, below are some resources that will offer alternatives to surrendering them to our shelter. We also welcome anyone to talk over their decision to surrender with our Surrender Counselor by calling 601-544-6632 (menu option #2) or by sending an email. Please carefully read through the surrender guide below because of policy changes that will take effect January 1, 2019 regarding fee changes and cat intakes. |

Owner Surrender for Euthanasia
If you have reached the decision to humanely euthanize your pet, we offer end of life services. To discuss end of life services, please call Southern Pines Animal Shelter at 601-544-6632 to schedule an appointment Monday, Tuesday or Thursday with drop off between 11am and 2pm. There is a $35 fee for end of life services accepted at the time of drop-off. Due to restrictions with our facility we are unable to offer the option to remain with your pet at the time of euthanasia. If this is something that you desire, we recommend reaching out to the Southern Pines Spay and Neuter Clinic for an appointment time to be with your animal in their last moments.
