Adoption process
Adopting from Portugal

When you find an animal you'd like to meet, contact AFAMA Faial directly using the website in the sidebar. TailHarbor doesn't take any role in the adoption itself — we just make it easier for you to find the animal in the first place.

How do I adopt an animal from AFAMA Faial?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact AFAMA Faial directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — AFAMA Faial handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.
Can I adopt from AFAMA Faial if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. AFAMA Faial typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is AFAMA Faial a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
AFAMA Faial is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at AFAMA Faial?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by AFAMA Faial directly. Typical fees in Portugal cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact AFAMA Faial via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
