Rehoming Your Pet

ALL SERVICES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. WE DO NOT HAVE WALK-IN SERVICES. 

Rehoming your own pet

Because shelters can be stressful environments for pets, we suggest trying to find a new home for your pet on your own. Check with friends or family members, or consider the free online pet listing service, Rehome, below. This program connects prospective adopters and pets, and provides resources so you can safely place your pet into a new loving home. 

Surrendering your pet to the Everett Animal Shelter

We accept owner-surrendered pets by appointment only, from residents living in the following jurisdictions: Everett, Unincorporated Snohomish County, Bothell, Brier, Gold Bar, Granite Falls, Index, Kirkland, Lake Stevens, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Snohomish, Stanwood and Tulalip. If you live in another jurisdiction, please contact a shelter or rescue group in your area. We are unable to accept owned or stray pets from outside of these areas.

Pets released to the Everett Animal Shelter will become the property of the City of Everett. Our staff and volunteers work hard to find homes for all healthy and behaviorally sound animals. We do not have time or space limits, but we cannot make any guarantees that we will be able to place your pet.

To make an appointment, please submit an online owner surrender form. Due to the number of requests we receive, it may take up to a week for a staff member to contact you to set up an appointment and answer any questions you may have. Please complete one form for each pet over 6 months of age. We appreciate your patience.
