Give Them a Chance Before You Surrender A Pet
If you haven’t already, we recommend that you first take a look at the resources that are available in Effingham County to help owners with their pet problems.
However, if your home is no longer the best fit for your pet, they are always welcome back into our care. Let’s work together to determine and implement the best solution for you and your pet.
