  • If you wish to surrender your dog or cat, you must call the front desk at (843) 546-0780 or email frontdesk@sfanimals.org to make an appointment. 
  • Animals are accepted on a space available basis or if a determination is made that the welfare of the animal is in jeopardy. 
  • If you are returning an animal that was previously adopted from us, please call (843) 546-0780 to arrange the return.
