Surrendering an Animal

At the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society, we understand that sometimes things happen that affect your ability to care for your animal(s) & in turn surrender them to the Shelter. With that being said, we need to protect our animals within our shelter and the animals entering. If you are thinking of surrendering your animal to us, please make sure you complete the following:

The animal MUST have proper up to date Veterinarian paperwork. 

The animal will require Veterinarian records within the last 6 months. 

You MUST call us to schedule a meet and greet with the animal.  

* Please note that we will no longer be doing animal surrenders on Saturday & Sundays.  You will need to call us at 475-8803 in order to schedule a surrender. Please do not show up at the shelter with an animal, we will no longer be able to assist unless scheduled*
