Our adoption process begins with the application, once approved we contact people via email or WhatsApp and we begin making the arrangements for the animals to get to where they need to go.
Adoption steps

People can visit the Haven and meet an animal they're interested in or they can check our adoption database or social media posts.

This can be done before or after selecting a pet.
Approve Application
Once everything looks good on the application, we'll contact successful applicants.
Interview
We have multiple conversations with the person who is interested in adopting and make arrangements for transport.
Pay Fee
The adoption fee is $100usd but the adoption process is around $500-600 usd to get the pet to you.
Take the Pet Home
Arrangements are made with flight escorts and you pick the pet up at the airport discussed.
Go meet their pets
If you're in Jamaica we can send you the location for the Haven and arrange a visit. If not we have an adoption database that has some of our adoptable animals. We're adding more everyday but we also share our other adoptables on our social media. You can always email us if you're interested in adopting and we can send you tons more pictures and info.
More about this shelter
We are a small animal shelter and rescue in Jamaica. We're run completely on donations and we have over 170 animals in our care. We began in 2009 to try and help stray animals across the island get off the dangerous streets and find forever homes or live out their lives with us. We sent 144 dogs to Canada in partnership with Save our Scruff at the beginning of 2021 and we've sent many others away to individual homes also. We work with people with existing reservations to transport the dogs or cats to the states or Canada. We also work with people who come to Jamaica and want to adopt one of our rescues to take home when they leave. We're a no-kill shelter and we take in more than we adopt out. Unfortunately local adoptions aren't common so we rely on international adoptions primarily.
