Adoption Process and Quick tips.

The first step in the process is to complete the online adoption questionnaire. We will contact you by email or phone and ask you to send photographs of your home and, if you are renting or living in an apartment, to also send us documentation showing that your home is pet friendly. Once we have your application form, photographs and any other relevant documentation, we will arrange a time with you for a family interview and discuss the following steps.

Adoption Fees

The ¥20,000 (per animal) adoption fee covers the following:

  • blood test
  • vaccinations
  • spaying/neutering
  • microchipping
  • (Taken together these could cost in excess of ¥50,000 yen at your local vet.)

    The 3 Days. 3 weeks, 3 Month Rule of Adopting a pet.

    The 3-3-3 rule is a general guideline, every pet is unique and will adjust differently. Give your pet space and allow them to go at their own pace.
