This form can be used for multiple pets. Please fill out each section individually then select "yes" when asked if you have another pet to surrender. Maximum of 3 pets per form.

PLEASE NOTE: The intake process requires a scheduled behavior/medical evaluation to be performed by a PAWS staff member for each animal before they are eligible for our adoption program.
