  • Do your research
    Do research on the necessary care, housing and habitat (taking into account the correct cage/enclosure size required) on the type of small animal that you are interested in adopting; rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, birds, reptiles etc, to make sure they are the right pet for you and your lifestyle.

  • Discuss application
    An adoption consultant from the Small Animal Team will send you an email within a week of receiving your application.
  • Adoption day

    Once you have been approved to adopt a pet, an appointment will be made for you to come to the shelter to complete your adoption and take your new family member home with you.
