BECAUSE
ADOPT
IT'S A GOOD CHOICE
Adoption Process
01
Why is it better to adopt than to buy?
In a country where there are estimated to be more than a million abandoned animals, not adopting one of them is a waste of a wonderful opportunity to save a living being.
Furthermore, since they are generally crossbred animals, they are stronger, healthier, and less vulnerable to diseases characteristic of "purebred" animals.

How do I make sure I choose the right pet?
A well-bred pet will rarely cause you any problems, however, if you're concerned about the space and time you can dedicate to it, we can guide you in making the best choice.
-
If you're concerned about the space in your home versus the size your dog will grow into, we suggest adopting a dog that's one year old or older. This way, the dog will have already reached its full size, and we'll get to know its personality and energy level and recommend a dog that fits your lifestyle.
-
If you're worried about working away from home for long periods of time, dogs can sleep up to 16 hours a day, so they'll be dreaming and waiting for you at home. Of course, all dogs need daily walks, regardless of their energy level or whether they have a yard.
-
We remind you that ALL dogs can live in an apartment, regardless of their size, and if you walk and treat them, they'll be the happiest dog in the world. Even happier than a house dog, since dogs are extremely sociable and enjoy sharing the apartment with their humans and/or other dogs rather than being alone in a yard, no matter how large.
-
A huge yard never replaces daily walks. Remember, it's like being locked in a mansion, alone and without any view.
