Have you decided to adopt a pet , but you don't know how you should go about this process? This information may interest you. If you follow these steps you will be able to carry out a successful adoption process and welcome a new member into your home, who will have everything necessary for a long-lasting and happy stay.

1. Analyze which pet best suits your home
Before starting the adoption process you must reflect and be sure of what type of pet you want to adopt. Each animal has different needs (adopting a dog, a cat or a turtle is not the same). It is important that you avoid getting carried away by fleeting impulses and that you think carefully about which dog or cat is appropriate for your home. Ask yourself this when you are going to adopt a pet .

2. Look for your pet in shelters and shelters
When you are clear about which pet is the one that suits you and your De Cell Number family, you can start searching in shelters and shelters that have foster animals and want to give them up for adoption. The Affinity Foundation suggests you do it through the Miwuki platform , which has more than 800 protectors registered. You can specify the characteristics of the animal you would like to adopt and, in the Miwuki Pet Shelter search panel , you can filter until you find your new home companion.

3. Contact and visit the animal shelter
Once you have found a pet that you think suits your lifestyle and family environment, you can contact the shelter and schedule a visit to get to know it a little better. The shelter will tell you the status of the animal, whether it is sterilized, dewormed, vaccinated and you can ask them if your future dog or cat  has a history of abuse, if it was abandoned, where it was found, if it comes from a foster home or if it was carried by its former owners. This will significantly change the way you treat your new partner in the future. It is also an opportunity to ask the shelter's professionals any questions you may have about the care of the animal.

4. Signing of adoption contract
The shelter will analyze your profile to ensure that the dog or cat will have very  good conditions in its new home. If everything is fine, you must sign an adoption contract, where you agree to provide the necessary care. To carry out this step you must meet some requirements such as being of legal age and that the possession of animals is allowed in your habitual residence.



5. Initial care of our pet
This is the most important step so that the new member of the family can always be healthy. Depending on what the protector has told you about her health, you should take her to the vet for a general check-up, vaccinate her, deworm her, and sterilize her. The shelter must now give it to you with the microchip (mandatory in Spain).
