Surrender Application

Please understand that we do not have a facility of any type. We are a group of individual citizens fostering animals in our own homes. We are all volunteers who make a living working regular jobs just like you. We cannot, and would not, force a volunteer to take in an animal when they don't have space, regardless of the situation. Sometimes our fosters have upwards of 40 animals in each house. This means that we may not have space for your animal.

We can do courtesy listings (list your animal on petfinder while it stays in your home) when we don't have space, though we have specific requirements for this service. Please email us at rasa.rescue@gmail.com if you need more information on courtesy listings.

In order for us to determine whether we can take in your animal, we need you to first tell us about your situation by filling out the following form. We will respond ASAP with more information.

Please keep in mind that we do have specific surrender requirements. Without donations, we do not have the money to feed, clean, and provide veterinary care for the animals currently in rescue. Please visit this page to learn about our surrender requirements.

Rabbit  Guinea Pig  Hamster  Gerbil  Mouse  Chinchilla
Rat  Bird  Sugar Glider  Hedgehog  Other  Please understand that we do not have a facility of any type. We are a group of individual citizens fostering animals in our homes. While we can sometimes take in small animals that are not on the list above, we do not have the facilities to take in dogs or cats. Please do not ask us to do so. If you are surrendering a rabbit, is the animal spayed/neutered?
Please describe the physical condition of the animal. Does it have any health problems, such as allergies, teeth problems, etc.? Health problems are rarely a factor in our decision about whether to take the animal. However, we have had animals die when we did not treat them because their former owners did not tell us about the condition. We also need to make plans to put the animal in a foster home that can appropriately care for the animal. *Please be as specific and detailed as possible about the animal's health and medical needs.
*Is the animal currently in your care (as opposed to a friend's or family member's)?
Yes  No  If the animal is not currently in your care, please tell us who has the animal and how you are involved in the situation.
*Is the animal in any danger, either from abuse or neglect? If yes, please explain.
*Please describe the animal(s) you wish to surrender in detail. Include, name, age, breed, size, color, personality, etc.
*Please tell us why you are surrendering your pet.
We have certain surrender requirements. For instance, we require that animals come with their cages. In most cases, we also require a monetary donation to help us pay for your pet's care. In all cases, we require that you drop the animal off at one of our foster's homes. Please read about our surrender requirements here (it will open in a new window). *Do you agree to the rescue's surrender requirements?
Yes  No  Do you have any questions about the surrender requirements?
*If RASA Rescue is able to take your animal, you will be required to sign all rights to the animal over to the rescue. Will you agree to sign your animal over to the rescue?
