First, check with local animal control and laws to ensure that you are not breaking any laws by giving away the pet. Then, reach out to a local animal welfare organization or rescue and inquire about their policies for accepting stray animals or providing transport services. You may also place an advertisement on social media specifying the location of your pet and offering it for free to a good home - be sure to include proper documentation such as veterinary records in order to be able prove ownership. Be aware that some states do require you obtain a health certificate from a licensed vet before giving away animals. Finally, if all else fails, it may be necessary to surrender the animal yourself at an animal shelter or pound

The most humane way to abandon a pet is to find an owner-surrender agreement with an animal shelter or rescue, where the pet will be given to an alternative home. If such arrangements are not possible, then find a secluded location away from people and pets, such as the forest or a park, to let the pet go. Make sure that there is food and plenty of water available in case it’s being abandoned on foot. The most important thing you can do is make sure your pet finds its way into loving hands without harming it any further. Make sure you inform neighbors in close proximity and post “found” adverts so any passer-byes can find help for your animal companion
