The Animal Guardian Society - registered charitable pet rescue and adoption organization.

Surrendering A Pet

We appreciate that giving up a pet for adoption can be a very difficult and emotional experience.  Our volunteers take every effort to ensure that a safe and suitable home is found. Our primary goal is working with families as a “team”.  Together we can be confident that your pet will have a long and happy life with its new family.

 

The following information will provide you with knowledge of our adoption procedure, what services TAGS will provide, and in turn what TAGS will require from you should you decide to enrol your pet in our program.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime at the above phone number or e-mail address.

 

What TAGS will do for you and your pet.

  1. Review Owner Profile information
  2. Screen all potential adopters, through application process
  3. Take your pet on home visits with potential adopters
  4. Ensure all medical work is completed prior to adoption, example spay/neuter etc.
  5. Ensure that your pet will be microchipped, should at anytime the pet become lost.
  6. Ensure the completion of all paperwork including but not limited to adoption agreements.
  7. Provide behaviour counselling and workshops for adoptive families
  8. Provide ongoing support to the new owners as needed for the lifetime of the pet.

Your Responsibility to our Program

  1. Complete the Owner information profile, providing facts about your pet to assist the adoption process.
  2. To provide a tax deductible donation, to help offset any incurred expense in the adoption process.
  3. To return phone calls or e-mails from volunteers promptly and to notify the program of any relevant changes to the adoption status of your pet.  For example, decided to keep your dog.
  4. Provide a complete medical history.  Rabies vaccinations are normally only required once within a 3 year period (Imrab 3).  If unsure have our volunteers or your vet confirm.
  5. Ensure that all information provided on the info sheet is not false or misleading, which could result in harm
    to a potential adopter and result in the dog being returned to you the owner.  Should this occur, you as the owner will be responsible for any medical costs incurred by The Animal Guardian Society.
