Rehoming & Surrender

Whitman County Humane Society (WCHS) is a limited-admission shelter. Due to space, resource limitations, and our housing structure, accepting surrenders can be extremely difficult and, if we are able to assist, it may take weeks or even months before space becomes available.

Additionally, we cannot accept pets that are aggressive and reserve the right to decline any surrender to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and the animals already in our care.

We understand that surrendering a pet is a difficult decision, and we are committed to approaching each situation with compassion and without judgment. We encourage you to explore our Pet Support Program page or contact us for resources that may help you avoid surrender if possible.

If surrender is necessary, please complete the Owner Surrender Form on our website. If we are able to assist, we will reach out as soon as we can.
