Giving up your pet
The essential part of our mission with animals is to offer help to their humans
in order to prevent abandonment as much as possible.
What alternatives exist when faced with the abandonment of an animal?

You can no longer keep your pet despite your efforts?
Do everything you can to give him a nice, stable life in a new home. Maybe
a member of your family, a friend, a co-worker, or even someone from the neighborhood would be happy to host it?
