Surrender Application

Godbey Creek Canine Rescue is a a non-profit, limited admission animal rescue that operates with limited staff and relies solely on public donations.  Our kennels are at full capacity and we have a waiting list for owner surrender dogs as intake is only available as animals are adopted.  Due to the high volume of requests we receive on a daily basis, we can only respond if and when space becomes available.  To be placed on our waiting list, please complete an owner surrender form. Submission of this form does not guarantee we can place your pet into our adoption program.

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture licenses animal kennels and shelters.    We are required by law to make a copy of the drivers’ license for every individual surrendering a pet.

*We recommend a surrender fee of $100 per animal to pay a very small amount towards vetting, feeding and caring for the pet until it is adopted.   Our vetting expenses alone average over $500 per animal assuming no complicating health problems.   Each pet is spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (rabies, parvo, distemper, Bordetella), heart worm tested, and placed on flea and heart worm preventative until adopted.
