Saving Lives One Adoption at a Time
Vada's Angels is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals, with a strong emphasis on finding them loving homes. Our efforts involve actively retrieving animals from pounds and shelters, alongside community initiatives to educate people about animal welfare. We firmly stand by the belief that every animal deserves a chance at a happy life and are dedicated to facilitating this through our adoption programs. For more information, please read our FAQs about adopting.
Understanding Our Adoption Process
Individual Animal Profiles
We encourage prospective adopters to carefully read each animal's profile rather than applying based solely on appearance. Our animals have specific requirements based on their behavior and needs, assessed by our trainers, team, and fosterers. The information provided is tailored to the well-being of each animal, aiming to ensure successful matches.
Application Process
To streamline the adoption procedure, all applications must be completed using our online form. The application process is designed to gather essential details about potential adopters and their households to match them with animals that align with their lifestyles and preferences.
Matching Process
Once an application progresses, our team will reach out to discuss the animal further and arrange a meet-and-greet session. We prioritize pairing animals with homes that meet their unique needs, emphasizing responsible pet ownership. Vada’s Angels encourages treating adopted animals as family members, providing indoor living spaces and secure areas for their safety and well-being.
Veterinary Care
Each adopted animal undergoes comprehensive veterinary care, including vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, microchipping, registration, and desexing. Adoption fees contribute to covering these essential expenses, ensuring the well-being of the animals in our care.

🐾 I'm Holly, I'm a three-legged whippet cross girl whose bravery knows no bounds! At just 1 year old, I've faced challenges with unmatched resilience and now seek a special home filled with love and care. 💖 **A Warrior's Tale**: My journey began with adversity. I was dumped with a horrifically broken leg and was severely underweight. Despite the pain, my spirit remained unbroken, and all I yearned for was the love of humans. The amazing Pound staff recognized my strength and reached out to my current rescuers for assistance. 🦴🌟 **From Pain to Joy**: After enduring two surgeries, I've triumphed over adversity, bouncing back to health with remarkable strength. Now pain-free and healing, the fun-loving puppy within me is emerging. My transformation is a testament to my resilience and the power of love. 🌈❤️ **Foster Home Bliss**: I've found my way into an incredible foster home, receiving all the one-on-one love I deserve. I've become a loyal companion, watching over my foster mum as she works, even getting my own pillow for added comfort during my watchful moments. 🏠🛏️ **Building Confidence and Embracing Life**: I have built so much confidence and am such a sweet girl. I'm playful and have lots of energy for big walks, not even noticing that I’m down a leg! I'm still a pup and love a snuggly place for a nap, preferably in the sun ☀️ or a kid’s bed I've snuck into for a cuddle. I love other dogs and am friendly when meeting them on walks. 🐕 While I still have a little way to go in lead training, I'm improving and sit on command at road crossings. At home with no distractions, I’m doing well with other commands like sit, wait, leave, and waiting for my food. I'm happy in my crate and sleep all night with no accidents, which is pretty cool considering I probably never lived in a house before now. 🌟🐾 **Special Home Needed**: As I continue my journey toward recovery, I'm on the lookout for a very special home that can match the magnitude of my resilience and love. I deserve the best after enduring so much. If you have a heart and home ready to provide the love and care I truly deserve, please talk to the Vada's team. 💌🏡 **Holly's Wishlist**: - A loving and caring forever home ❤️ - Patience and understanding for my unique journey 🙏 - Companionship and one-on-one time 👩❤️👩 - A cozy spot to watch over my humans 🛋️ - The promise of a pain-free and joy-filled future 🌟 Ready to open your heart to my story? Contact the Vada's team to learn more about this courageous whippet cross and how you can be a part of the next chapter in my incredible journey. 🏡🐾❤️

🐾 Woof woof! 🐾 I'm Trigg, the delightful medium to large-sized dog who's ready to bring some fun and love into your life! 💙 At 2 years old, I'm the perfect mix of playful energy and affectionate cuddles. I've got some skills under my furry belt—I've mastered sit, wait, and leave like a champ. But when it comes to cats, well, let's just say I'm still learning the ropes. I try really hard, but those sneaky felines still make me a bit unsure. Now, about my furry friends—I'm good with dogs, but I do need an easy introduction. Once I get to know them, I'm all tail wags and playtime! And speaking of playtime, let's talk about kids—I'm great with them! But ideally, older kids would be best, because sometimes I forget my size when I get zoomies!

🐾 Hey there! Looking for a four-legged buddy to bring some joy into your life? Well, look no further—I'm Patch, your ultimate canine companion! I absolutely love hanging out with other dogs. Cuddling, playing, and zooming around with my furry friends are my favorite things to do. With me, every day is a doggone good time! I'm a fetch fanatic! I'm lightning-fast and oh-so-entertaining to watch as I zoom after my favorite toys. And when I'm not playing fetch, I'm keeping myself busy with my beloved toys. I'm also a foodie through and through, which makes me super easy to train. Just be sure to keep your cat's food out of reach – I have a knack for snack attacks! 😂 Now, I do have a few quirks: I have a peculiar palate, with a taste for pig poo and cow poo! 🤢 So if you're planning a farm adventure, keep an eye on me. And speaking of keeping an eye out, make sure to keep your shoes in high places! If I can't find my toys, I might just go for your footwear instead. But hey, I'm just trying to find something to chew on! When it comes to cats, I tend to be a bit of a chaser. So, it's best to keep me on a leash until I learn that kitties are just friends I haven't met yet. Once I get to know them, I'm as chill as can be. So, if you're ready for a lifetime of laughter, love, and adorable antics, I'm ready to patch up your heart! Adopt me today and get ready for endless tail wags and cuddles! 🐾

🤞 ADOPTION IN PROGRESS 🤞 Woof! 🐾 Hey there, I'm Riley! 🐶. I'm a handsome, well-behaved boy bursting with joy and love. With my playful spirit and gentle nature, I'm sure to steal your heart! 💖 ❤️ Why You'll Love Me ❤️ 🐾 Playful and Energetic: I'm a fetch enthusiast and a master of zoomies! Whether it's chasing a ball or racing around the yard, I'm always up for a good time. 🎾💨 🐾 Great with Other Pets: I get along wonderfully with other dogs and am learning to play gently with cats. My friendly nature makes me the perfect addition to any family. 🐕🐱 🐾 Loves Kids: I'm gentle around children, making me a wonderful family companion. 👶❤️ ✨ Important Considerations ✨ 🐶 Velcro Puppy: I love being close to my humans. I enjoy a good sunbathe during the day and love outdoor time, so a spacious yard is ideal. ☀️🏡 🐶 Clever and Trainable: I know commands like sit, shake, and stay, and I'm working on "speak." I'm food-driven, which is great for training, but keep an eye on snacks left on tables! 🍖🐾 🐶 Mischievous Fun: I've got a playful side and might try to hide shoes if I'm not entertained. I'm also in my digging phase, so watch those rugs! 👟🕳️ I'd thrive in a home with plenty of space for me to run, as car rides aren’t my favorite. I'm a loyal companion who just wants to be by your side and shower you with love. If you're ready for a lifetime of tail wags, cuddles, and adventures, I'm the perfect pup for you! Flick us a message to come meet me and see how amazing I truly am. 🐾✨

🐾 Hi everyone! My name is River and I'm looking for my forever home! 🐶❤️ I've come a long way and gained so much confidence lately! I used to be a bit nervous around people, but I'm getting better every day. 🥰 I'm playful, happy, and super cuddly—especially at night! I love hopping into bed in the morning for extra snuggles. I still get a little anxious around lots of people and noise, but I absolutely love meeting other dogs! 🐾 I'm not a big fan of car rides yet, but I'm starting to get more comfortable walking through doors that are held open for me. In the mornings, it takes a little convincing, but I'll come over to have my collar put on for our walk. I've lived with other dogs before, and they've really helped me come out of my shell. So, I think I'd do best in a home with another dog—someone who can show me the ropes and be patient with my slow introductions. 🐶✨ If you're looking for a loving companion who's ready to give lots of cuddles and playtime, I might just be the perfect match for you! Let's meet soon and see if we can be lifelong pals. 🏡💕 Thank you for considering opening your heart and home to a sweet pup like me! 🐾
