Thinking About Adopting…
When you make the decision to adopt a rescue animal, you're choosing to save a life. With each adoption, space is made for another animal in need- giving them opportunity to also find a forever home and become a much loved pet.
Application Process
Once you've been in contact with one of the rescue's representatives, you'll be directed to complete the below application form. All fields on this form must be completed, including the submission of the required images/documentation. Should you have any issues uploading images/documentation via the below form, you can email these independently to adoptions@savinganimalsmatters.org.au.
You'll need to supply:
-
3 Photos of the area where the animal will reside (dogs: yard/fences & cats: main living spaces the cat will reside).
-
A copy of photo ID.
-
If renting, evidence of your rental being “pet approved” (confirmation from a landlord or realtor that is signed and dated or evidence that a pet bond has been paid).
Your application will be reviewed by the rescue's adoption team. If you're considered to be a suitable adoption candidate (based on the information you've provided), a meet and greet will be arranged with the animal/s. Meet and greets are an integral component of the adoption process, as they allow us to determine whether the adoption will be a viable fit for all parties. In the case that a meet and greet goes well and there are no concerns with an application, the adoption will be processed.
