Never abandon your pet!
Abandoning an animal is not only cruel but also illegal. If caught you can be charged with cruelty. We help provide options.
Unfortunately, the Revelstoke & District Humane Society is not able to take in surrenders. Our agreement with the City only allows us to care for stray or abandoned cats or for dogs handed over by Animal Control. We're always here to help and support you through this process.
Helpful suggestions
If you must re-home your pet, here are a few things you can do:
- Post a picture and description on the Stoke List. Repost every few days, as your ad gets buried quickly under new ones.
- As soon as you know your pet needs re-homing, email your photo, description, and contact info to revelstokehumanesociety@gmail.com for us to post on our website and Facebook page.
- Print posters and put them up on bulletin boards around town.
- Having your pet up to date with vaccinations and, if possible, spayed or neutered will greatly facilitate new ownership (it's only fair for both animal and new owners).
Microchip registration update
Microchips have little value without registration. Registering the new owner's information for your pet's microchip with the B.C. Pet Registry ensures the microchip is connected to their contact information if the pet is ever lost.
