Surrender
At Willoughby Rescue, we understand that letting go of an animal might not be easy, but in some cases may be the best choice. If you are no longer in a position to provide the best possible care for your companion, rest assured that we will do everything we can to make the transition as stress free as possible.

Transport:
We do not transport. There are a number of rescue transports that you can connect with in New England. We are actively looking for volunteer / reduced cost transport services and will update this page over time.
One resource you can use until then is https://agservicefinder.com/livestock-haulers/
Surrender Process & Fees:
In order to continue accepting animals, we must ask a small donation be made to help offset the added cost of your surrendered animal. If you are surrendering your animal due to financial difficulties and are unable to pay the surrender fee, arrangements may be made to waive the fee in exchange for volunteer services. Please contact us to discuss your options.

Llama $80
Sheep $80
Donkey $100
Pig $100
Goat $80

Please note that there is no guarantee we will be able to accept any particular animal at any given time. Each surrender is reviewed on a case by case basis and will depend on a variety of factors including available space and other resources currently available at Willoughby as well as the animals overall health & temperment. Please contact us to discuss the surrender of your animal. We are unable to accomodate unscheduled visits and surrenders at this time.
