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 have been in contact with one of our Saving Animals Matters Rescue representatives, we can then email an application form to you/ or an online form can be completed via our website. You must complete this application and sign and submit it to us complete with the required uploaded images/documentation outlined below. These should be emailed to adoptions@savinganimalsmatters.org.au
You will need to supply:
-
3 Photos of the area where the animal would 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).
Upon receiving the completed form and outlined images/documentation, we will make arrangements for you to meet the desired animal. Should the ‘meet and greet’ go well and the adoption is a suitable fit for all parties, the fee can be deposited via direct bank transfer to the rescue’s account. Once the fee has cleared (and not before), you will be able to take your new pet home! Please note* we do not accept cash payments.
