3. Why have you changed your adoption process?

We want to make sure our adoption process is a good experience for you and the animals in our care.

With our old system, potential adopters needed to apply separately for each pet they were interested in. Some animals got hundreds of applications, whereas some pets struggled to get any applications. This meant that many people were left disappointed, and at the same time, many animals in our care struggled to find their forever home quickly.

Now, our experts will use the information you provide to match you to the most suitable pet for your circumstances.

This approach gives every animal in our care an equal chance of finding a home and increases your likelihood of adopting a Scottish SPCA animal.
