HUMANE EUTHANASIA.

We understand that the decision to euthanize a pet can be a heartbreaking one. Added to that, the cost of euthanizing and cremating a pet can be daunting to many pet guardians. As a service to our community, the Palm Springs Animal Shelter (PSAS) now offers a low cost humane euthanasia service for pets at the end of their life. We do not euthanize healthy pets, but we may be able to offer guidance or other options.

THE PROCESS

If you feel euthanasia may be the right option for your pet, please contact PSAS to discuss your pet’s medical conditions.

If our staff agree that euthanasia may be the right choice, we will schedule a day and time for you to bring in your pet.

After euthanasia, PSAS will have your pet’s remains cremated. If you choose a private cremation, your pet’s ashes will be returned to you within about 2 weeks.
