HOW TO ADOPT

At Bronx Familia Animal Shelter, we believe every rescue deserves a loving, forever home.

Adopting is not just adding a pet to your life — it’s making a promise to care, protect, and love them for the rest of their days.

STEP 1 - Find Your Match

Browse our Adopt page to see our animals currently looking for homes. If one captures your heart, contact us to express your interest or ask us for help to find your perfect match.

STEP 2 - Adoption Application

We will send you an adoption questionnaire to learn about your lifestyle, home environment, and experience with animals. This helps us ensure the perfect match for both you and your future companion.

STEP 3 - Adoption Fee

Adoption Fee – 300 €

This fee helps cover the full veterinary preparation and care your animal receives before adoption.

What does it cover?

  • Full core vaccinations + rabies vaccination

  • Microchipping and registration

  • EU pet passport

  • Complete deworming and antiparasitic treatment

  • Basic health check and veterinary examination before travel

  • Shelter care until departure​

Optional Costs

  • Airport transport to Heraklion Airport: 70 €

  • Travel bag: 30 €

  • Airline-approved travel box: 70–200 €

  • Assistance with booking your pet on your chosen flight

Why do we charge a fee?

Every cent of the adoption fee goes directly towards the animal’s medical care, shelter upkeep, and rescue operations.

Your adoption helps us continue saving lives — one animal at a time.

STEP 4 - Travel Preparation

We handle all veterinary treatments, documents, and (if needed) travel arrangements to ensure your new family member arrives safe and healthy.
