If you have a pet you can no longer care for the Pittsylvania Pet Center will accept your surrenders but only by appointment. Officials say by requiring an appointment for owner-surrenders, they ensure that they actually have capacity for your animal. Being able to plan for some of the animals entering the shelter also ensures that they don’t have to make difficult decisions between overcrowding and euthanasia.
