Where can I find information about adopting a pet? back to FAQs
Congratulations on the decision to adopt! In the Greater Victoria Area, there are many organizations that work to find homes for the abandoned, strayed or rescued cats and dogs (and occasional bunny) of our area. The members of the organizations are usually volunteers with big hearts, so please be patient as you contact them. They have many demands on their hands and often responsibilities outside of the charity work as well.
If you are deciding to get a new pet, please remember to thoroughly research the needs of the pet you have selected. Some breeds are more likely to require additional attention, such as grooming or exercise, and may not suit every household. Some dogs like to be part of a family, others thrive with a single owner. Make sure you are ready for the commitment of time, energy, money and love it requires to care for another living creature.
