FAQ > Owner Relinquishment
First and foremost, please use relinquishment to the R-H SPCA as the last resort. See a checklist of things to try before surrendering your pet here.
If you are a resident of Rockingham County or Harrisonburg City, the R-H SPCA will accept your pet. We prefer that you call ahead so staff can better assist you once you arrive, but a formal appointment is not necessary. You will need to provide your contact information should your pet appear to have a contagious disease that may not have manifested before. You will sign a legal contract formally relinquishing your rights as the owner to the R-H SPCA.
We also request that owners take a little time and provide us with a personality profile. With that information on hand, we can better match your pet to a new home.
