Surrendering your pet to us
We are accepting surrendered dogs and puppies of sound temperament and good health. Our ability to accept your dog depends on the availability of a foster home for the dog.
Unfortunately we cannot accept cat surrenders at the moment. Unless you need to return a cat previously adopted through AWAR or ACR.
Please think carefully before surrendering your pet. We require you to fill out and sign a surrender agreement and provide any veterinary or other records you may have. If the pet is not microchipped in your own name we will ask you to get the legal owner of the pet to sign the surrender form below.
Puppy and dog surrenders
We can not accept dog surrenders at the AWAR Hub. Please fill out the form below with the particulars about the dog or puppy you want to surrender. We will then contact you.
If we accept a litter of puppies, we will strongly suggest that you have the female desexed as soon as possible. This will prevent future pregnancies and will be line with our responsible pet ownership policy.
Temperament requirements
Before accepting a dog or puppy surrender it will have to pass a temperament test. We will ask about his medical history, vaccination record, whether he’s microchipped and desex status. All this information helps us decide if we can accept your dog and if we have a suitable foster home to place it in. We do understand that each dog is different and that some are more timid than others, specially with strangers. But our coordinator have ample experience to recognise behaviours that is simple shyness or is unacceptable.
As a rescue group we must take great care to rehome dogs and cats that are only of good temperament.
