Who this template is for

Pet Surrender is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in pets & veterinary.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 36 questions across 2 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 29 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Questions about this shared form

How is this different from an adoption application?

Adoption is someone taking a pet home. This is an owner handing one in, so it collects history, health and behaviour rather than screening a home.

Will honest behaviour answers mean the pet is turned away?

Say plainly on your form what happens. Most shelters would rather know, because a hidden bite history is the worst possible outcome.

Can someone surrender a pet they do not own?

The confirmation asks about legal ownership or the owner's authority, which covers bereavements and family situations.

Should we ask the reason?

Yes, but as options plus free text. Reasons are usually practical — housing, money, illness — and knowing them helps place the animal.

Is the Pet Surrender template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Pet Surrender on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Pet Surrender template ask for?

It asks 36 questions across 2 pages, 29 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Pet Surrender form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic layout, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Can I embed the Pet Surrender form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
