Euthanasia and Cremation ServicesPerhaps the kindest thing you can do for animals that are terminally ill, aged or so severely injured that they will never lead a normal life is to induce his or her death quietly and humanely through euthanasia.We recommend that you discuss the euthanasia of your pet with your veterinarian. If you and your veterinarian decide that euthanasia is the best course of action, we recommend that your veterinarian perform the procedure at their office. If you wish to be present during your pet’s euthanasia, you must engage the services of a veterinarian. The Society does not offer euthanasia services with the animal’s owner present. If you choose to use the euthanasia services of the Humane Society, we ask that you call first and bring in your pet during our regular hours Monday through Friday. Please be aware that the Humane Society reserves the right to refuse euthanasia service if ownership of the animal or medical or behavioral condition cannot be confirmed. Please be prepared to provide documentation from a veterinarian of your pet’s condition. We do not have a veterinarian available to diagnose or treat your pet’s medical condition. As you make your decision to euthanize a pet, you will need to decide how you would like to care for the remains. We can provide information about cremation services. We can also order personalized urns for your pet's remains for your convenience. Fees for euthanasia and cremation are as follows:
*Necessary in some cases for aggressive or difficult-to-handle animals **We are unable to accommodate animals weighing over 200 pounds. |
