Take some time to get to know the animals looking for homes. We recommend visiting one of our centres and chatting with our team, who can help you find the right match. You can also register your interest online.

Please note: submitting an application does not guarantee a specific animal, we carefully match each animal with the right home.

For Cork adoptions, please register your interest online.

Come in and chat with our rehoming team. They’ll get to know you and help you find an animal who could be a great match for your home and lifestyle. If you’ve already spotted someone online, let the team know when you visit.

Opening hours:

• NSPCA Dublin: Tuesday – Sunday, 12–4pm (no appointment needed)
• NSPCA Longford: Monday – Sunday, 12–4pm (no appointment needed)
• NSPCA Wicklow: Monday – Sunday, 12–4pm (no appointment needed)
• NSPCA Cork: By appointment only

All members of the household should meet the animal before adoption.

• If you have an existing dog, a dog-to-dog meet will be arranged
• For dogs, a home check will be carried out before adoption – either in person or virtually
• For cats, we may ask for details or photos of your home set-up

Our team will guide you through what’s needed to ensure the right match.

Once your application is approved, we’ll arrange an adoption appointment. On the day, you’ll bring your new companion home and begin your life together.

You will need to:

• Be over 18
• Provide photo ID and proof of address
• Provide landlord permission if renting (where applicable)
• Agree to our adoption terms

Adoption fees vary depending on the animal and contribute towards essential care such as neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and parasite treatments.

Important:
Please bring a suitable, secure carrier (for cats and small animals) or lead and collar/harness (for dogs) to take your pet home safely.

If you don’t have these, they are available to purchase in our on-site shop.
