Owner Surrender Policy for Dogs

At Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue Inc., we understand that sometimes circumstances change, and individuals or families may find themselves in a situation where they need to surrender their beloved pet. We are committed to providing the best possible care and second chances for dogs in need. However, to ensure the welfare of the pets in our care, we have established the following owner surrender policy:

1. Foster Until Adopted or Surrender Fee:

• Foster Commitment: If you need to surrender your dog, we kindly request that you commit to fostering your pet until a suitable forever home is found. Fostering allows us to continue providing your dog with love, care, and attention while we search for the perfect match.

• Surrender Fee: If you are unable to foster, we ask for a surrender fee of $500. This fee helps cover the costs associated with finding a new home for your dog, including medical expenses, vaccinations, boarding, and more.

2. Providing Information:

• We ask that you provide us with as much information as possible about your dog. This includes their schedule, routine, habits, and personality traits. Any details you can provide will help us create a more accurate biography for potential adopters.

3. Medical Records:

• Please share your dog's complete medical history, including vaccination records, any ongoing medical conditions, and any medications they are currently taking.

4. Photos and Videos:

• High-quality photos and videos of your dog are invaluable in helping us find the right match. Showcasing your dog's personality and appearance through visuals can greatly enhance their chances of being adopted.

5. Biography:

• A heartfelt biography that describes your dog's personality, likes, dislikes, and any training they've received can make a significant difference in finding them a loving home. Be as detailed as possible, as this helps potential adopters get to know your dog better.

6. Open to All Families:

• We are committed to finding the best possible homes for our rescue dogs. While we aim to match dogs with families that are the best fit, we are open to considering families you may not initially think of as the perfect match. Our priority is the well-being of the dog.

7. Older Dogs:

• We understand that older dogs may face more challenges in finding new homes. However, we are dedicated to finding loving families who are willing to provide a comfortable and happy retirement for older dogs.

8. Training Matters:

• Dogs with prior training are often easier to rehome. If your dog has received obedience training, please let us know. This can be a significant asset when matching them with potential adopters.

At Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue Inc., we are committed to ensuring that every dog in our care finds a safe, loving, and permanent home. Your cooperation in following this owner surrender policy is greatly appreciated and allows us to continue our mission of saving and rehoming dogs in need.
