SURRENDERING AN ANIMAL TO CARES

C.A.R.E.S. accepts owner-surrendered cats and dogs on a case-by-case basis, from Burien and Des Moines residents only, as space and circumstances permit. We are only able to accept dogs and cats at this time. All potential surrenders are subject to behavior and medical assessment, and approval from the Shelter Manager before acceptance.

SURRENDERS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Proof of Burien/Des Moines residency is required, as is a surrender fee, which is based upon the pet’s vaccination and spay/neuter status.

Please contact CARES with further questions about surrendering a pet, email preferred: Buriencares@gmail.com.
