HWS Relinquishment Form

If you need to find a home for a hedgehog currently in your possession, you've come to the right place.

Sometimes finding a new, responsible, loving forever home for your quilly companion is inevitable. Children can lose interest. Sometimes a family no longer has the time. Perhaps a move into an illegal state and you just want to keep your hedgehog safe. Or maybe your hedgehog is sick and you want to find someone better suited to care for the illness. The HWS can help make this a little easier by helping you to find the perfect home.

If you would prefer to keep your hedgehog until a suitable home is found, just fill out the form below, and we will list your hedgehog on our Petfinder web site. Potential homes will contact the HWS and we will conduct a brief interview of the applicants. All viable applicants will then be forwarded to you.

If you need to find immediate placement for your hedgehog, see our Rescue List to contact a rescue station in your area.

Please note that releasing your hedgehog into the wild is not appropriate re-homing. Your hedgehog will die if released outside. Hedgehogs are not native to the United States or Canada. Therefore you are not releasing them into the wild "where they belong". Please allow us to help you find a home for your hedgehog!
