Surrender requests are at an all-time high

Harvest Sky Animal Rescue must implement surrender control strategies.

The cost of everything is rising, and pet ownership is not immune. This has led to an unprecedented number of surrendered animals and surrender requests coming into rescues across the province, including the Harvest Sky Animal Rescue (HSAR).

In order to continue to effectively serve our community, remain viable, and project the health of animals in the facility, the HSAR must limit the number of animals in its care at any given time.

In response, the HSAR now requires that all surrenders of any kind must be prearranged through contacting the HSAR before arriving at the HSAR facility. Surrenders that have not been prearranged will not be accepted.

The HSAR has also implemented a Surrender Wait List. Surrender requests will be prioritized and placed on the wait list as deemed appropriate. The length of the wait list will be dependent on the rate of adoptions, which open spaces and the number of foster homes available.

How can you help? If you’ve been waiting to add a new pet to your family, now is the time! Adopting will open spaces for the HSAR to take in pets in need. If adoption isn’t right for you, help spread the message about our amazing animals waiting for their forever home. The HSAR is always accepting applications for foster homes.
