Surrendering a Pet

HALO Animal Rescue assists with cats and dogs only. We do not accept animal or human aggressive pets. HALO does not take in stray pets. See below for details.

Found a stray pet? Lost your pet?

Post the pet on Petco Love Lost's website to help reunite pets and their families. This facial recognition software is the fisrt of it's kind to help pet get home. You can also post the animal's information and photo on the Facebook page Straydar and search their listing of lost pets. You should also have the animal scanned for a microchip, which can be done at any shelter, veterinary hospital or emergency room. We also recommend using the Next Door app as well as posting the pet on Craigslist. If you cannot keep the animal, please contact Maricopa County Animal Care and Control at 602-506-7387, they only accept dogs. If the stray pet you have found is injured, please contact the AZ Humane Society at 602-997-7585 for ambulance assistance.

**If you have found a feral (wild) stray cat, please contact the Spay Neuter Hotline at 602-265-SPAY or www.alteredtails.org for information on TNR, Trap-Neuter-Return, the only humane method of population control for feral cats.

Returning or surrendering an owned pet:

Returning an adopted pet: If you have adopted an animal from us and need to return him/her, please click on the surrender button below. We make every effort to take back our previously adopted pets but may need to decline due to some medical or behavior concerns. Surrender fees vary.

Surrendering an owned pet: If you would like us to consider an animal for surrender, please click on the surrender button below. Surrender fees vary. We do not accept strays, human-aggressive or animal-aggressive animals.

Posting a pet online:

Adopt-A-Pet.com will post photos and write-ups of the animals in your care that need a new home. Visit their Rehome tab to set it up. Rehome no longer requires spay/neuter before adoption, but they do require the adopter to get the pet altered within 30 days, and any unaltered pet listed has a bright yellow banner across the top of the pet's photo emphasizing that. If you're interested, you can receive low-cost help for spaying and neutering by visiting the Animal Defense League of AZ's Spay Neuter hotline.
