What to expect
HPF can review options, but completing the form does not guarantee immediate intake.
Review first
HPF reviews pet history, medical details, behavior notes, urgency, and owner contact details.
No immediate guarantee
Completing the form does not guarantee immediate intake or placement.
Georgia stray/found law
By Georgia law, HPF cannot take in stray or found animals. Report stray or found animals to the county shelter where the animal was found.
Details help
Pet age, species, breed, medical history, behavior, vaccines, spay/neuter status, urgency, and photos help the review.
Rehome alternatives
HPF may suggest support resources or alternatives when immediate intake is not possible.
Emergency situations
If there is immediate danger or a public safety issue, use the appropriate emergency or county shelter resource.
