Adopting Puppies or Kittens
Each puppy and kitten in our care comes with their own story, personality, and pace. Through the dedication of our foster families, we take the time to truly get to know each one — understanding their needs, supporting their development, and making thoughtful matches that set them up for safe, loving, and lasting homes.
We believe in being open and transparent in every profile we share. We update what we know about each animal's medical history, behaviour, and ideal home as we learn more. Young animals grow and change quickly, and we are often discovering new things about them right alongside their foster families.
Because puppies and kittens require more frequent veterinary care, hands-on monitoring, and close support during their early weeks, we primarily adopt them within the Lower Mainland. This allows us to ensure timely care and to be there for adopters as their new family member settles in and grows.
Adoption is a big decision and we welcome your questions at every stage. Open, honest conversations are important to us, and we are always happy to talk through what a puppy or kitten would need in your home.
What We Look For
We want to ensure every adoption is successful and lasting. Our primary focus is on the best match for the animal. Here are a few of the things that we look for when matching our adoptable pets:
- Commitment to providing lifelong care
- Safe, pet-friendly living environment
- Understanding of the time and financial responsibilities
- All family members on board with the adoption
- Willingness to work through adjustment periods
- If renting, landlord approval for pets
