If you’re looking to take on a new pet, animal adoption is a great way to find a new one. There are thousands of pets throughout the country who have either been abandoned or their owners do not have enough time to look after them properly.

Breed-rescue societies concentrate on a single breed and are often associated with a breed club. Most won’t have dedicated kennels and may use foster homes or re-home directly from the previous owner. Selecting a breed will take you to the listing page.

There are many smaller charities and animal aid centres that support animals from all walks of life. Most people are familiar with the larger ones, but the smaller ones who are more specialists are sometimes overlooked. To find out more about your local animal shelter select an area. They always need your support.
