Agree with Doug,the is needed but are in bad conditions due to staff shortage and under funded.Your dear pet would do better in a home with loving care..
Plus you have to pay to surrender your pet btw
They will take your dog. Also I don't believe you need anything except your I.D. saying you are owner.
Don't bring your dog to the shelter. Spend time using Facebook and friends and family trying to find him a good home. The shelter should be an absolute last resort. Treat your dog like a family member. The shelter is overcrowded and under staffed.
