Pet Surrender
Pet Surrender to St. Tammany Humane Society
Bringing your pet to the St. Tammany Humane Society can be a difficult decision to make. We would like you to know that we understand how hard it can be to relinquish a beloved pet and appreciate your choice to surrender your animal responsibly so that he or she will be safe and humanely cared for.
If you need to surrender your pet immediately, we recommend contacting St. Tammany Parish Animal Services at (985) 809-0183.
As a private, nonprofit organization dependent on community contributions, we request a donation when an animal is admitted to us.
When your pet is placed for adoption, we will make every reasonable effort to find your pet(s) a new and forever home.
**Important **As a no-kill shelter, STHS organizes its pet surrenders from a "waiting list." Generally the wait to surrender a pet is from 1-6 months. We can not guarantee a specific time your pet can be taken into the shelter. Waiting time depends on whether or not the pet has routine vaccinations, heartworm preventative, and the size of the animal.
If you need to surrender your pet immediately, we recommend contacting St. Tammany Parish Animal Services at (985) 809-0183.
