Please fill in our local application form when you live in Aruba and are interested in adopting:

The local adoption costs for dogs are Awg 325. The adoption fee covers all the necessary veterinary care up until the point of adoption and the spaying/neutering at 5/6 months old (we will plan the appointment with you).

For puppies the first 2 vaccines are included (they need 4 in total). Adult dogs will be completely vetted.

The local adoption costs for cats are Awg 225. The adoption fee covers all the necessary veterinary care up until the point of adoption and the spaying/neutering at 5/6 months old (we will plan the appointment with you).

Both vaccines are included with cat adoptions.

A lot of our rescues are small puppies or kittens. This means they won’t be spayed/neutered before their adoption. However, spaying/neutering our rescues is mandatory and included in the local adoption; this is also clearly stated in our adoption agreement.

A closed – dog proof – yard with lots of shade is a requirement to adopt from us. One of our volunteers will contact you for a housevisit.

We request a reference check from your veterinarian too if you have current pets and renters must also send a copy of their rental agreement, proving that pets are allowed, before we can finalize the adoption.

    Please only apply when you are ready to adopt. Should you go on vacation or are moving, please wait until you are ready. Adopting a pet is a longterm (financial) commitment, please take that into account before applying.
