Adopting an aspin or puspin responsibly

Local dogs and cats make wonderful pets. What to expect, what to prepare, and the promise you’re making.


Aspins and puspins — our local dogs and cats — are hardy, affectionate and every bit as deserving of a good home.

A lifelong commitment

Adoption is a promise for the animal’s whole life, often 10–15 years. Make sure your household, budget and time are ready before you commit.

Prepare the essentials

  • Food, bowls, a collar with an ID tag, and a comfortable resting spot.
  • Budget for vaccinations, deworming and spay/neuter.
  • A safe, escape-proof space while your new pet settles in.

Give it time to adjust

A rescued animal may be shy or wary at first. Go slow, keep routines calm and predictable, and let trust build on the animal’s terms.

We rehome animals responsibly and in line with the Animal Welfare Act (RA 8485). Message us to talk through whether adoption is the right fit for you.
