Caliber Exotic Supply Surrender Program

Our surrender program exists to provide exotic animals with a safe, responsible option when their current situation can no longer meet their needs. Life changes, moves, financial strain, or lack of access to proper care should never result in neglect or abandonment.

Animals surrendered to Caliber Exotic Supply are assessed, stabilized, and cared for with proper husbandry, nutrition, enrichment, and genuine love. Rehoming only occurs with the original owner’s consent. When rehoming is not approved, the animal remains in our care under agreed terms.

Our goal is simple, reduce suffering, prevent abandonment, and ensure every animal is treated with dignity, respect, and love for its entire life. This program supports owners through difficult decisions while protecting the animals and the community.

We want to be very clear about what surrendering an animal to Caliber Exotic Supply means.

By choosing to surrender an animal, you are agreeing to the following,

  • This is a permanent decision, once the animal is surrendered, it cannot be returned for any reason.
  • You are giving up all ownership and rights to the animal, it will no longer be legally yours.
  • Caliber Exotic Supply becomes fully responsible for deciding what happens next, including care, medical treatment, rehoming, long term placement, or, if medically or ethically necessary, euthanasia.
  • You should not expect updates, photos, contact, visitation, or future information about the animal after surrender.
  • There is no compensation or refund for surrendered animals.
  • If any information you provide is incorrect or incomplete, Caliber Exotic Supply is not responsible for problems or disputes that result.
  • It is normal to feel emotional or uncertain, but regret does not undo this decision.

If you are unsure, overwhelmed, or not ready to make a permanent decision, do not sign yet, ask questions, take time.

By signing the surrender form, you confirm that you understand all of the above and are proceeding voluntarily.
