Surrendering Your Pet
The most common reasons why people surrender their pets include moving, financial hardships, allergies, and behavioral problems.
The Humane Society of Port Jervis / Deerpark exists to lend a helping hand when pet owners run out of options. We will house and care for the surrendered animals while working hard to find them a safe, stable and loving home.
