DONATION

We ask for a donation of $100 when surrendering your dog. Your donation assists in providing food, shelter, and medical care for your animal. Any additional donation is greatly appreciated.

I understand that APS-FH is a 'No-Kill' Shelter for "adoptable" animals. If this animal is determined unadoptable by the behavioral or medical staff and no other alternative can be found, there is a possibility the animal may be humanely euthanized without the original owner notification.

While at APS-FH, all animals receive necessary veterinary care, nourishment, and exercise. There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and sound temperament, we will keep the dog until they are adopted. Unfortunately, there are times when circumstances present themselves (e.g. out of space, sensitive situation) and animals may have to be transferred to another 'no-kill' shelter, however, our goal is to find adopters for all of our

I CONFIRM THAT I AM THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THIS DOG AND I HEREBY RELEASE ALL RIGHTS AND GIVE FULL CUSTODY OF THE ANIMAL DESCRIBED ABOVE TO THE ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY FRIDAY HARBOR.
TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THE ANIMAL HAS / HAS NOT BITTEN ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL IN THE LAST 10 DAYS.
