Adoption FAQ's
Can anyone adopt a pet?
After you fill in a brief questionnaire, we will review your information and quickly determine whether you are eligible to take home one of our vaccinated, spayed/neutered pets. We WANT to place our animals in great homes like yours. Make an appointment today!
How much does it cost to adopt a pet?
We charge an adoption placement fee equivalent to us$15 (₡10,000) to help us cover the cost of spaying/neutering/vaccinating/feeding each pet available for adoption. This small donation also includes an “adoption family” lifetime benefit where you will never pay for a veterinary consult for your adopted pet.
Are adoption pets trained?
Our pets which are up for adoption come from a variety of life circumstances. Some have been rescued from traumatic situations and others were born into this world without a family to take care of them. No matter what the situation, our pets are ready to be loved and to give so much love back in return.
Is there a minimum age to adopt?
We realize our children will mostly be the driving force behind the decision to adopt and even though that is mostly the case, we do require someone in the household to approve the adoption at 18 years or older.
What happens if we change our minds?
We are an animal shelter and will always welcome our adopted pets back to our shelter if things do not work out.
Can we adopt more than one animal?
We encourage each family to adopt as many animals as they can love and care for.
Which animals are currently up for adoption?
We try to place every animals into a loving home as fast as possible so our availability changes by the minute. We receive, rescue and save new animals every day. Please make an appointment to see and meet the animals that are ready to be adopted and loved, today!
Can we adopt an animal even if we have never had one before?
Yes, Yes and YES! We truly feel that the love received from an animal will help every family to fall in love and properly care for every adopted animal.

“We wanted to get a dog and were considering a breeder. But a friend told us about adopting a pet at AHPPA. We were nervous at first but when we had our appointment, everyone was so nice and after a couple of days we found the perfect dog for our family. We called him "happy" because that is what he brings to our family.”
