Please submit the form below if you have an animal looking to surrendered to Coco’s Heart. This inquiry is also for Coco’s Heart adopters looking to return their animal to rescue.

Coco’s Heart accepts surrender inquiries on all animals including but limited to dogs, cats, pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc), as well as farm/large animals (horses, pigs, etc).

CHDR receives dozens of requests for help each week. We will respond within 1-3 business days (M-F) only if we have room to help. If the animal you surrendering was adopted from CHDR, you will receive a response from us within the time frame above.

We do require two pictures of the animal you are surrendering. We will not respond to inquiries without pictures sent to johanna@cocosheartdogrescue.org.

This is only an inquiry and not a contract. If we are able to help or your animal was adopted through CHDR, you will be required to sign and submit a formal surrender form provided from our Surrender Coordinator.

Please note- injured or animals needing medical care- Coco’s Heart can only provide veterinary care and services for in-rescue animals who have been surrendered or transferred to rescue. We cannot take in animals without this process taking place and do recommend heading to AERC or the U of M for any urgent care.
