Pets
for Adoption
- Adopt, don't buy |
Please see our

huge selection of dogs, cats,
birds and all other pets

moveable feast with new listings
coming on all the time, so do
check regularly!
We
encourage you to choose one of
our pets for adoption and save a
life.
Some of the thousands of pets
adopted via petsonthenet since
2002
We've also adopted birds, both
domestic and poultry (not for
the pot!),
axolotls,
rats, turtles, goats and horses.

Please
adopt,
don't
buy!
If
you
or
anyone
you
know
is
considering
adding
a
pet
to
their
family,
please
don't
"buy"
a
pet
from
a
petshop.
Please
consider
adoption
and
rehoming
of a
shelter
dog,
puppy,
cat
or
kitten
etc
via
petsonthenet or
your
local
SPCA,
pound
or
animal
shelter
first.

Animals
that
are
not
adopted
within
a
certain
time
(seven
days
in
some
places)
may
be
euthanised.
Thousands
of
beautiful
companion
animals
die
this
way
every
year
and
it
is
heartbreaking!
Shelters
struggle
with
little
money
to
provide
for
these
pets
until
they
are
rehomed.
With
the
recession,
our
pets
for
adoption
section
has
increased
*exponentially*.
Our
philosophy
has
always
been
NOT
to
accept
ads
from
petshops
and we
no
longer
accept
ads
for
Pets
for
Sale
either. We
believe
more
pets
die
in
shelters
when
petshops
and
backyard
breeders keep
feeding
cute
pups
and
kittens
etc
into
the
world,
with
only
profits
in
mind.
With
a
finite
number
of
homes
in
NZ,
this
means
some
animals
will
die...as
supply
simply
exceeds
demand,
especially
in
these
harder
economic
times.
Petshops
also
sell
supposed
"purebreeds"
and
"designer
dogs"
often
without
registration/papers.
Some
of
these
animals
may
have
inherited
health
problems
or
defects
which
could
mean
costly
vet
bills
further
down
the
track.
If
you
absolutely
set
on a
purebreed,
contact
a
trusted
registered
breeder
ie
an
NZKC
registered
breeder
for
dogs.
It
is
also
critical
to
desex
your
pet,
so
the
supply
of
unwanted
kittens
and
pups
does
not
keep
increasing.
Many
shelter
pets
will
be
desexed
already,
saving
you
money.
Please,
please,
save
a
life
-
adopt,
don't
buy...
