Adoption Process

We carefully prepare every dog for adoption and work closely with families to create a safe, suitable and lasting match.

Dog ready for adoption from Stray Mysteries
Under €400 The typical cost mainly covers the travel crate and transportation. We do not collect an adoption fee.

From Our Shelter to a Loving Home

The dogs are all neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. When they have a family willing to adopt them, we take them to the veterinarian for the required health tests and EU passports, then arrange appropriate transportation.

The financial cost is mostly for the travel crate and transport and is typically under 400 euros. We do not collect an adoption fee.

The Right Dog for the Right Home

We believe it is extremely important to match our dogs with the right homes. We know their personalities, needs and temperaments, and we are completely upfront about the care and environment they will need for everyone to be happy.
