Adopt a pet
"Adopt, Don't Buy and Save a Life..."

Petsonthenet has a high level of success adopting pets, with listings for pets for adoption from hundreds of shelters, SPCAs and pounds throughout New Zealand as well as pets for adoption from the public.

Our philosophy is "Adopt, Don't Buy and Save a Life". We are committed to being part of the solution and not part of the problem by not accepting ads for pets for sale and supporting pets in need of adoption.
