Please note we are no longer taking surrenders into rescue at this current time.

Surrender a Pet

Saving Strays Animal Rescue helps hundreds of dogs, cats, rabbits, horses etc, in need find loving homes each year. We take in every animal surrendered to us regardless of its health, age, breed, or behaviour. 

Last year, more than 98 percent of the animals in our care were placed in new homes, or reunited with owners.

We understand that parting ways with an animal can be especially difficult and we’re committed to working with you to ensure the best possible solution for you and your pet.

 

Knowing where to turn

 

We know that sometimes people’s circumstances change and they can no longer look after their pet. At Saving Strays Animal Rescue we never judge anyone for making the responsible decision to give up their animal and we’ll do what we can to help.

No matter how desperate you’re feeling, please don’t dump or abandon your pet, we can help. This is incredibly traumatic for them and also very dangerous – they could become seriously ill or they could escape and be hit by a car. It also means that even if they are found and brought to us, we won’t know their history, which makes it a lot harder to find them the right home.

What happens to my pet once they’re in the care of Saving Strays Animal Rescue?

 

They will be carefully assessed by a vet and a volunteer of the Saving Strays Animal Rescue team so we can give them any special care they need and match them to the right kind of home.

After the assessment period they will go up for rehoming, providing there aren’t any veterinary or behaviour issues that we need to address. Their profile will appear on the Saving Strays Animal Rescue website and we will start our search to find them a loving home.

What if I can’t keep my Saving Strays Animal Rescue pet?

 

We never forget a Saving Strays Animal Rescue pet and we’ll always prioritise them and make room for them if your circumstances change.

I’m worried my pet will outlive me

 

Many people worry about what will happen if their pets outlive them. If you feel there’s no one you can ask to take on your companion, our Pets into Care Scheme might be for you, have a look on our FAQ’s.

If you find yourself needing to give up your horse please email: info@savingstraysanimalrescue.co.uk

Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee that we’ll be able to take your horse into one of our yards as priority is always given to welfare cases and abandoned horses, however we do have a scheme whereby we find new homes for horses while they remain in your care.

If you need advice about or to return a Saving Strays Animal Rescue horse/pony you have rehomed, then please contact your Aftercare Manager.

Due to GDPR Data Compliance Guidelines, you can not have contact with the foster family or the new owner, however, you can have direct contact with us and we can provide you with updates on your surrendered pet.

This contact can be through email or Facebook Messages on our page. We have a fantastic after care program to ensure we remain in contact with new owners supporting them with anything they may need.
