So you've decided to surrender a pet.

Whether you've found a needy animal in your community, or your circumstances have changed and forced you to relinquish a pet of your own, we know this is a difficult time.

Through our highly successful rehabilitation and adoption program, your pet will find a safe, happy new life through Lee Shore. We are a no-kill, 501(c)(3). That means we only euthanize pets on veterinarian recommendations when quality of life can no longer be maintained at acceptable levels. We're licensed by NC State Veterinarian Dr. R. Douglas Meckes, and trusted by Rutherford County Animal control, so you can be certain that animals surrendered to Lee Shore are receiving the highest quality level of care, and the best chance they can get at a successful life as a companion animal.

I would like to
​surrender my pet:
Please understand that while we wish we could help everyone, there is limited space and resources available. For that reason, we will only take on those cases we feel we can best serve. Lee Shore Rescue, Inc reserves the right to refuse to take in any animal for any reason without explanation.
