Small Animal SURRENDER Questionnaire

Small Animal SURRENDER Questionnaire (Personality Profile)

We cannot accept found/stray animals. If the pet you need to surrender is a stray and/or you are not the owner, you must contact Baltimore County Animal Services at 410-887-7297.
If you adopted your animal from The Baltimore Humane Society, please call us (410-833-8848, Ext 2) to schedule your return. You do not need to complete this form. Thank you.
I understand that submitting this form is not a guarantee that I will be able to surrender my pet to the Baltimore Humane Society. Intakes are done on a case-by-case basis and can only be made after we evaluate your pet. We will contact you with the next steps.*
