Re-home or Surrender A Pet

Home To Home™ helps pets stay out of shelters. It is a unique, direct-to-adopter tool for pet guardians looking to re-home their animals. This program is available for dogs, cats and any other pet that is legal to own in the state of Idaho.

In just a few simple steps, pets can find a loving new home without ever seeing the inside of a shelter. It’s free to use for both guardians and adopters. It gives animals needing a new home the best of both worlds: their current guardian can find the best fit, and their adopter can learn all about their personality and preferences first-hand. It’s a win-win for pets!

Surrendering a pet is never an easy decision. There are several options for you to consider if you can no longer keep your pet.  First, let trusted friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers know that you need to find a new home for your pet. You may be able to find a new home for your pet through this network.

If you can’t find a home for your cat or dog, you can bring your pet to MCPAWS. Please call ahead – we may be able to offer additional resources to keep your pet home. Otherwise, call us to set up an appointment to bring your dog or cat to the shelter. (208) 634-DOGS.

There is a $40 fee to surrender your dog or cat to MCPAWS if they are already spayed/neutered.

There is a $60 fee to surrender an unaltered pet. 

MCPAWS does provide emergency shelter for people facing emergencies, homelessness, domestic violence and other situations where emergency boarding is required. There is a $50/day fee for this service.
