Additional adoption info

Vashon Island Pet Protectors does not adopt dogs out on a first come first serve basis - instead working to make sure we have the best match for the animal in our care. We also limit our adoptions out to Washington State though will sometimes make exceptions to the Portland area.

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out the adoption inquiry application using the link below.

We will then follow up within a few days to discuss the dog and answer any questions you may have and if it appears the dog may be a good match we will schedule a time for you to come meet the dog. Our adoption process also requires personal and veterinary reference checks and a home visit and we require adopters to sign an adoption contract. Adoption fees are currently $150 and include vaccinations, microchipping and spay/neuter.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
