Responsibility

If your situation changes and you are no longer able to keep your adopted pet, what will you do to avoid taking the pet to a shelter? NOTE: owner surrendered pets are often the first to be euthanized at overcrowded shelters.
As part of the approval process, SWS may check with local Animal Services to see if there is any negative information on file under your name and/or address. Is there anything on record for you that might be considered “negative?”
