Adoption

Give the gift of unconditional love – ADOPT!

The best therapist has fur and four legs. Open your heart and home to a friend for life, or help us find loving families for them. We can’t change their past, but together, we can give them a happy future.

FINDING THE RIGHT MATCH

It’s easy to fall in love with the animals in our shelter—they’re all adorable! But every animal and adoptive family has unique needs. Here are a few things to consider when choosing your new family member:

• Do you have experience with pets?
• Are you looking for a snuggly companion or a more independent pet?
• Do you currently have other pets, and are they comfortable around new animals?
• How much time will the pet spend alone when you’re working?
• Are you looking for an active pet or a relaxed companion?
• Are you interested in a kitten or puppy, or would you prefer an adult animal?
• Do you have young children at home?

INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION

The lack of a local adoption culture in Azerbaijan makes international adoptions essential for finding forever homes for our shelter animals. Currently, we’re focused mainly on finding adoptive families in the Netherlands, but we’re also open to adopters in other European countries who can provide loving homes to these rescued animals.

The international adoption process requires time and resources, but it’s truly worth the effort! Typically, the process takes around 3 to 4 months. To help cover the expenses of bringing animals from Azerbaijan to Europe, we charge an adoption fee between €300 and €500. This fee contributes to transportation, quarantine, care center costs, veterinary care, blood tests, and the preparation needed to ensure the animals are ready for their new homes.

Despite this fee, it only covers part of the total expenses. To make up the difference, we rely on donations from generous individuals who want to help ensure that our cats and dogs receive the care they deserve.

LONG-DISTANCE ADOPTION

Among our rescued animals, we also have elderly, sick, and traumatized dogs who need special care. If you are unable to adopt a dog in person but would still like to help, long-distance adoption might be a perfect fit for you. By adopting a dog from afar, you can provide monthly sponsorship for its needs. Every month, you will receive an update on your sponsored dog’s well-being, including photos and videos.
