Surrender a Cat or Dog

The GBAS primarily serves the residents of  Grey and Bruce Counties whose owners are no longer able to provide suitable care for their pet dogs and cats. Our shelter can accommodate up to 10 dogs and 20 cats/kittens. Once pets are surrendered, we attempt to ensure that suitable caring homes are quickly found for them.

We ask that you call us at 519-372-1911 or e-mail the shelter to discuss your surrender needs. You will be asked a series of questions in order to determine if we can accommodate your request. If we can assist you, we will make an appointment for you to deliver your pet cat or dog to the Shelter between the hours of 9.00am and 11.00am. At the time of surrender, we will conduct an assessment of the animal and if the surrender is accepted, we will complete a surrender form and animal profile together.  Please bring along all vet records and/or vet contact information. A Surrender fee of $50 cash per cat and $75 cash per dog will be payable at this time.
