Do they charge a surrendering fee?

If they don't, they should, and it has to be a big amount, so that your pet can be taken good care of before they find a permanent home it deserves. If you are the person trying to give up your pet, you should hope your pet will be adopted because they do send unadopted pets to kill shelters.

Yes they usually do. It is lower compared to other shelters. I would like to comment that H Hh's response is correct, however, West End does not send unadopted pets to kill shelters. They keep the animal until it is adopted. I did call to verify with the office.
