Compassionate Care: Navigating the Process of Surrendering Your Pet at Kennebec Valley Humane Society
At the Kennebec Valley Humane Society, our primary mission is to see companion animals and their owners enjoy a lifelong journey together. We understand that life can take unexpected turns, and despite our best intentions, circumstances may arise where keeping a pet becomes challenging. In such moments, the KVHS is here to support you, recognizing that surrendering a pet is a difficult and often heart-wrenching decision.
Our Non-Judgmental Approach: Facing the reality of surrendering a beloved pet can be emotionally challenging. At KVHS, we prioritize empathy and understanding, ensuring that your decision is met without judgment or shame. Our goal is to gather as much information as possible about your pet, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration.
Scheduling Surrender Appointments: To manage our intake of animals, especially during peak periods, we schedule surrender appointments. This system allows us to allocate the necessary time and resources to ensure the well-being of each surrendered pet. By taking this approach, we can focus on gathering comprehensive information about your pet, facilitating a smooth transition to a new, loving home.
Pet Profiles for a Personalized Approach: We encourage previous owners to fill out a pet profile when surrendering their beloved companions. This valuable background information provides crucial insights into your pet’s personality, preferences, and behaviors. These details play a vital role in matching them with the perfect forever home, making the adoption process more seamless for both the pet and their new family.
Preventing Animal Abandonment: We believe that animal abandonment is a preventable issue, and by reaching out to KVHS when faced with the difficult decision of surrendering your pet, you contribute to a more compassionate solution. Our team is committed to helping pets in transition find new, loving families, turning a challenging situation into an opportunity for a brighter future.
