About Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender

Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender works with the public to offer them assistance to help them keep their pets instead of surrendering them to the shelter. We network with animal behaviorists and provide low cost medical options. If the owner cannot keep their pet, we ask them to "foster" their pet instead of surrendering him or her to the shelter, while we search for a new forever home with ad placements. All responses are directed to our email address or hotline number, the owners contact information is not divulged in our rehoming ads. We require pets be up to date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered before being rehomed and require proof of same. If the pet is not up to date on vaccinations or spayed or neutered, we assist them in having this done. The owner has the final decision on who their pets new family will be. We charge a rehoming fee.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
