How to Apply

  • Please read over our Standards of Care for the type of animal you are interested in adopting (your enclosure must meet these standards)

  • Fill out an adoption application form

  • You can typically expect an adoption counsellor to contact you via phone and/or email within 5 business days of submitting your application (if it has been more than 5 days feel free to drop us a note!)


Adoption Approval Process

  • Your application will be reviewed by one of our volunteer adoption counsellors (typically within 5 business days)

  • Once your application has been reviewed, one of our volunteers will be in touch in order to discuss your application and will ask you to provide a picture of the actual enclosure you intend to use, as well as its dimensions which must meet our Standards of Care

  • Once the details of your enclosure are confirmed, your counsellor will connect you with the the foster home so that you can set up a "meet-and-greet" with the animal

  • If the meet-and-greet goes well, you will need to sign a contract provided by the foster home and pay the adoption fee (by cash or e-transfer)


Please Note!

  • Adoption fees are non-refundable. Our adoption fees are used directly to help offset the costs of vetting the animals in our care.

  • We do not deliver animals; you will be responsible for arranging to meet with a foster in order to pick-up your animal
