Drop off your pet at the shelter

You can no longer ensure the species-appropriate keeping of your pet? Then you can drop off your pet at a shelter.

If you want to drop off an animal, you can do so at a shelter near you. You can also inform an animal shelter if you have found a stray animal.

The responsibility lies with the animal shelter.

Please contact your local authority.

• Contact the municipal or city administration. This gives you information about animal shelters in the region.
• Call the shelter and ask if there is room for the pet.
• As the owner, you usually hand over the animal personally.
