Intake and Animal Surrender Services

To provide you and your pet with the best service, we recommend you make an appointment for admission. To schedule an appointment, call 216-771-8825. An appointment enables us to gather important information about your pet’s history and will decrease your wait when you arrive.

There is a $30 surrender fee to bring an animal to the APL; $60 for a litter of puppies or kittens. If you cannot pay the fee, please speak to an Intake Associate. Because we are the humane society for Cuyahoga County, fees are double for out-of-county residents (single animal - $60; litters - $120).

Intake Center Hours
Monday to Friday -  10 am to 6:30 pm;
Saturdays - 10 am to 5 pm; Sunday - Closed.

Please call for an appointment at 216-771-8825 to surrender an animal or pet.

Please note: We are legally unable to accept stray dogs and they must be referred to the Cleveland City Kennels.  Click Here for City Kennel information.

Additional Intake Services: To assist those when it is time to say good-bye to a beloved pet we offer private cremation services, allowing you time to select a final disposition. Click Here for information on our cremation services.
