Pet assistance program – King County

RASKC is here for you. If you need to bring your pet to the shelter, simply start by filling out the form. We accept dog and cat surrenders by appointment for owners who live within RASKC's jurisdiction. To make an appointment, please first submit this form. A RASKC representative will contact you to gather more information about you and your pet. Due to large numbers of surrenders, it may be eight to ten weeks before a surrender appointment becomes available.

Note: Owner surrender appointments typically take about 30 to 45 minutes. Please be prepared to bring a valid photo ID and any veterinary records you may have for your animal.

RASKC schedules appointments for owner surrendered pets to ensure that we have enough resources available when each new pet arrives. This appointment allows our team a chance to sit down with you to gather more information and discuss what the best possible options are for you and your pet. Please be aware that it may be eight to ten weeks before an appointment is available.

We know saying goodbye to your pet is never easy. RASKC offers end-of-life services to pet owners within our jurisdiction. If your pet is licensed with King County, there is no charge for euthanasia services. For unlicensed pets, there is a $50 fee.

Whether we are able to accept more than one animal at a time may depend on the space we have available at that time. Please complete the Owner Surrender Form to receive a call from an intake specialist who can talk to you about your options.

If your pet has a litter of babies and you are able to rehome them on your own, we encourage you to review the above resources for rehoming. If you do decide to rehome on your own, you can find low cost spay and neuter locations through the ASPCA website.

If you are not able to rehome on your own, you are welcome to bring your litter to RASKC. Please complete the Owner Surrender Form and a RASKC representative will contact you.
