Owner Surrender

We understand that surrendering a pet is a difficult decision. Our Owner Surrender program is designed to give pets the best opportunity to transition to a new, loving home.

Because Crossroads is a limited-admission shelter and does not place time limits on adoptable animals, available housing can fill quickly. We often work from an owner surrender wait list, which may range from 4–8 weeks, depending on the time of year and current capacity.

When space becomes available, we will contact you to schedule an intake appointment. Our team will guide you through the process and provide resources whenever possible.

As an alternative to entering the shelter, we encourage pet owners to explore Adopt-a-Pet’s Rehome service, which helps pet owners connect directly with potential adopters and may allow you to find a suitable new home for your pet sooner.

Lost and Found Reporting

If you’ve lost a pet or found a stray animal, report it as soon as possible so our team can help. Include a clear photo, where and when the animal was last seen or found, and any identifying details. We’ll check for matching reports, share next steps, and connect you with resources to help reunite pets with their families or secure safe care.

Services for Stray Animals

If you’ve found a stray animal, Crossroads can provide guidance and, when space is available, paid stray intake services to help ensure the animal receives appropriate care and has the best opportunity to be reunited with its owner.

Because Crossroads is a private, limited-admission shelter with limited space and resources, we cannot accept every stray animal. We encourage you to first contact your local non-emergency law enforcement (police or sheriff) and/or animal control agency to file a report of the found animal and ask about local stray animal procedures.
