Surrender Information

If you’re looking for a new home for a senior dog, we have resources to help you do so. We are happy to provide support in difficult situations where a senior dog may need to be placed. We take referrals from rescues, shelters, animal control, and private owners in the Greater Pittsburgh area. In every case, our goal is to keep senior dogs from being euthanized due to overcrowding or lack of funds. Gray Paws Sanctuary is an alternative when it feels like there are no other options.

If you have a senior dog in need of placement, you can reach out to us via the form below or by giving us a call at 412-779-5494. We screen all senior dogs for eligibility, including aggressive behavior, a bite history, or severe behavioral issues that keep them from being suitable to a home environment.

Once we have an understanding of your dog’s needs, we match them with a family and get placed directly into their new home! All of this is done absolutely free of charge with no payments to anyone involved. If you would like to support our cause, we ask that you donate to the Gray Paws Sanctuary so we can continue to carry out our mission of love!
