Join our family and

help a homeless pet in need

We are a non-profit organisation in Adelaide, South Australia, that transforms lives by rehoming pets and supporting owners. With creativity, fun, and a commitment to saving lives, we roll out the red carpet for our homeless pets.

At Adelaide Pets Alive! our homeless pets are cared for in foster homes where they receive individualised love, care and treatment. We believe that foster care plays a significant role in supporting a homeless pets health, behaviour and overall welfare.

Fostering a pet means that you care for a homeless pet in your home while they wait to be adopted. Fostering benefits both pets and people, providing animals with a safe environment while giving caregivers the joy of companionship and the satisfaction of saving a life.

At Adelaide Pets Alive!, we understand that making the decision to surrender your pet is a difficult one. Our organisation is required to manage intake based on finances, foster care availability and animals currently in care.

Our Story

In 2023, Adelaide Pets Alive! was founded and serves the community of Adelaide, South Australia. Fuelled by the urgency to address pet euthanasia, pet homelessness and due to a lack of legal protection for homeless pets, Adelaide Pets Alive! was created to provide a safety net for our furry companions.

"The team was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and dedicated to making the transition as smooth and positive as possible for Baby Smokie. I've had the pleasure of adopting two cats through Adelaide Pets Alive! and I am so thankful for the amazing work they do each and every day."

“Our family adopted two kittens from Adelaide Pets Alive! last year and they have been an absolute joy. They were in foster care since birth and the kittens were well socialised with people and the resident dog. Our kittens were personally delivered to our home and spent hours with us helping the kittens settle into their new environment. The kittens have blended into our family and live with two big dogs. They are incredibly sociable with our dogs, they eat, sleep and play together like one big family. We honestly feel like the kittens were professionally trained and we are grateful for the loving start they gave our little ones!" Andrea - Dolly and Leo
