THE IMPACT OF ADOPTION

A TEARS adoption not only provides you with a new family member, it frees up a space for another dog or cat to be rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed.

Our Adoption Fee and what it covers

Adoption from TEARS Animal Rescue means changing lives. Your new companion will have been vet checked, tested, sterilised and microchipped. Our adoption fee of R950 helps us cover the costs of all the below.
