I am not able to care for my pet anymore. What can I do?

Rock Island County Animal Care and Control is committed to helping families and their pets stay together. We will work with you as much as possible to help you.

If you have decided that you have no option but to give up your pet, you can relinquish your pet at our facility, which is located at 4100 - 78th Avenue, Moline Illinois, during business hours. There is a $20.00 per pet surrender fee. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find a home for all surrendered pets.
