How to adopt in Taiwan

Find a pet

Browse available dogs and cats by city and species. Note the animal's ID and shelter.

Call the shelter first

Confirm the animal is still available before you visit — status changes daily.

Bring your ID, visit in person

Bring your ID card (must be 20+). Meet the animal and make sure it's a good fit.

Complete the adoption

Sign the adoption form; most shelters provide free microchipping, registration and neutering.
