WAG’s Adoption Process
THE WAG MATCHMAKER PROGRAM
We want your adoption to succeed, not just for a day, but for a lifetime!
We know that every animal and every home is unique, so we created the WAG Matchmaker Program.
Thanks to this thorough approach, we have an excellent success rate in placing animals with their Forever Homes.
Puppy & Kitten Adoptions
WAG can receive a high volume of applications for our puppies and kittens, so please be patient!
Applicants will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, ONCE we have received your application. If you are ready to adopt a puppy or a kitten, we recommend monitoring our website regularly for new arrivals as we are a small team and are unable to run a wait/wish list for potential adopters.
If you see a puppy or kitten that is available and may interest you, please deliver your application ASAP via:
- Email: [email protected]
- Drop off during closed hours (We have a secure drop box next to our front door! This will be checked daily by staff.)

Before you Adopt!
- Are you prepared for a lifetime commitment?
- Do you have other animals? How might they react?
- Do you have, or are you planning on having, children?
- What will happen to the animal if you move?
- Who will look after them when you go on vacation?
- If your current relationship changes or if something happens to you, who will look after them?
- What are your plans for training?
- What personality best fits your lifestyle?
- How will you afford vet care?
- Have you considered pet insurance?
Adoption is a lifetime commitment to that animal - make sure you are ready!
Every year there are new advancements made to veterinary care, and more treatments are available than ever before. These treatments can be lifesaving but are also expensive. When the unexpected happens, Petsecure lets you focus on what’s important, getting your pet back to their happy healthy
selves.
