I want to make a pet adoption/foster enquiry
So you've spotted a pet that you think might be 'the one' - that's pawsome!
The next step is to contact the rescue group, shelter or pound caring for that pet to find out more. You’ll find the contact details and adoption information at the bottom of the pet profile.
For the quickest response, please ensure you use the preferred method of contact (telephone or email) listed on the pet's profile page, as this can vary from group to group. Some shelters and pounds prefer you to phone them and will provide their number for you to call. For those who state email as their preferred method of contact, please click the ‘Enquire about this pet’ button located above the pet’s profile picture.
Please note, PetRescue supports hundreds of independent rescue organisations, shelters and pounds, and each set their own adoption processes and adoption fees, so you will need to contact them directly for specific information regarding the pet you are interested in.
Usually, the process will consist of a chat with the group or completion of a pre-adoption questionnaire, organising a meet-and-greet with the pet, and then completing the adoption paperwork.

Good luck with the search for your new furry family member!
