Owner Relinquishment

Are you facing difficult decisions about finding a new home for your beloved animal companion? We recognize that life can bring unexpected challenges, and situations can change. While we have a strong desire to help every pet owner in need, due to the limitations in our resources we are not accepting relinquishments at this time. Our current focus is on ensuring the well-being of the animals already under our care.

Please visit Kane County Animal Control for more guidance on rehoming your pet.

Responsible Pet Ownership and Alternative Resources for Pet Rehoming:

At Hoof Woof and Meow Animal Rescue, we believe in responsible pet ownership. Your pet's well-being is your top priority, and we want to assist you in finding the best possible solution. We recommend exploring all available options before making the difficult decision to relinquish your pet. This may include seeking assistance from friends and family, trainers, contacting other animal shelters and rescue organizations, or visiting Kane County Animal Control's Rehoming Your Pet page for valuable guidance, resources, and support to help you find a new, loving home for your pet.
