Surrendering A Dog

The Humane Society of Schuyler County encourages responsible ownership of dogs and a lifetime commitment between the owner and the dog. Nevertheless, personal situations can arise where a dog must be surrendered. The Humane Society of Schuyler County will continue to accept dogs which must be surrendered on a case by case basis. Please contact the Humane Society at 607-594-2255 to arrange a surrender.

Found Dogs

If you find a dog, please call the Sheriff’s office at 607-535-8222 as soon as possible to arrange transport by the Animal Control Officer or a Deputy when available. The Sheriff’s department and the Watkins Glen Police Department are the only entities that can take the dog into custody.

Also please contact the Humane Society of Schuyler County so information about the location and description can be placed on the website and Facebook page.

Please provide the following information about the found dog:

Location where the dog was found
Description (breed, color, sex)
A telephone or text number where you can be reliably reached.
Time and date when the dog was found
Any apparent injuries

If you can safely harbor the dog until it is picked up, please do so. But it is very important to contact law enforcement and the Humane Society as soon as possible to have the best chance to reunite the dog with his or her family.
