Adopt
AZI has an assortment of wonderful cats and dogs available for adoption: kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, horses, and mules.
Whether you have a particular animal in mind, or would like to find out which animals would be recommended for you, we ask that you complete an application for adoption. The application is a tool we use to find what you are looking for in a companion animal. Our adoption adviser will get in contact with you with all necessary information.
Come to visit AZI’s center in Amorgos: we will introduce you to all our animals in search of new loving home.

FOSTER AN ANIMAL
Foster parents provide temporary care for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies in their own homes. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for few months. You can foster for dogs, cats, momma cats, orphaned kitten and puppies. By offering your time, energy and home to an animal in need, you prepare the animal for adoption into a permanent home. AZI provides all veterinary care and medicine for foster animals and plenty of support to foster parents.
The primary caregiver of a foster animal must be at least 18 years old. AZI will match you with animals that suit your lifestyle.
Contact us for more information on becoming a foster parent.
