SURRENDERING A PET

How do I bring my animal to you if I can no longer keep it?

We hope that pet owners consider relinquishing their pet only as a last resort. We only accept animals from their original owners and if they are of an adoptable breed and temperament. All stray animals and lost animals MUST go to your local animal control facility. This is Utah law and we are bound by it. This is so they can be reunite with their rightful owner. After the stray period we can then chose to take them out.

Dogs/Puppies:

· Always have room for small breeds.
· Are NOT required to be spayed or neutered or current on shots. (We will take care of that.)
· NO fee for small or specific larger breeds. (Labs, heelers, pointers & all sporting breeds we pass on to other rescue groups.)

Lost Paws, Inc. will have a surrendering form for you to fill out. This will not only help us to take better care of your pet but also to find it a lifelong loving home that matches its needs. It costs LOST PAWS Inc. more than just the donation fee to care for and properly prepare an animal for adoption. Please understand that this surrendering fee is a very small fee to pay for the peace of mind to know that your beloved pet will not be euthanized for space. Your pet will stay with us until it is adopted. The average stay is two weeks; the longest stay has been 6 months. But the important thing to remember is that they all went to great homes.

Lost Paws, Inc. reserves the right to stop the surrendering process at any time.  We wish we could take them all.  Reptiles (no green iguanas please), rodents, birds, fish... call (801) 423-1334 for directions.
