We try to keep families together in the City of Rosenberg, so our team will first ask questions to understand the reason for surrender. It may be an issue we can help resolve! Per City Policy, Rosenberg Animal Control and Shelter does not accept owner surrenders at this time. Stray-surrenders from the city may only be accepted from residents within the City-Limits of Rosenberg with a valid driver’s license or ID, and are subject to a $35 surrender fee PER ANIMAL.

IMPORTANT: When you surrender a pet, you are agreeing to give up all custody of the pet being turned in and understand that it will not be returned. In surrendering a pet you also understand that the pet may be euthanized at the discretion of animal control officials, at any time. If it is found that the stray animal you are delivering to the shelter belongs to you or to anyone in your household, you understand that you are committing a Class A Misdemeanor by knowingly making a false statement within a government record. Persons found making false statements shall be prosecuted for tampering with a governmental record pursuant to Texas Penal Code Section 37.10.
