Re-home a Companion Animal
There are many alternative steps you can take before surrendering or re-homing your pet. Here are some alternatives to surrendering an animal:
Behavior Training
Information about our free behavior training with your animal can be found on our Joann Serafini Training & Behavior Support Program page. Please contact Melissa@JamesonHumane.org to learn how you can take advantage of this program.
We also recommend using the following resources to find what works best for you and your pet.

Cost of veterinary care too high?
If you need assistance with paying for veterinary care for your pet, CAAP's grant program can help. Complete a Community Animal Assistance Grant Application to apply. All grantees are considered for up to 100 dollars, maximum. Grants are paid directly to your veterinarian. Please note that all applicants must apply for CareCredit and provide documentation that they have been denied credit. If you already have CareCredit and your account is maxed out, provide that documentation to us as well.

Courtesy Social Post
Although Jameson Humane CANNOT take your pet, you can leverage our large social network (40k+ followers combined FB and IG) to try and find a new home for your pet by completing a Courtesy Post.
Many pets have found loving new homes through this solution. This option generally requires 2 weeks before the post goes live, and another 4-6 weeks before guardians are able to find new homes for their animals.
