Browse available pets on our platform, submit a quick online application, and once approved, we’ll connect you with the shelter to complete the adoption. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Whether you’re a first-time pet parent or a seasoned pro, we offer expert advice, resources, and support to help you find the right match and settle confidently into your new role.
During the application process, we’ll help you choose a pet that fits your living situation and ensure you're equipped with tips and tools to keep them happy and healthy at home.
We will help you find a pet that complements your current companions. Shelters can also advise on gradual introductions and compatibility to ensure a smooth transition.
Adoption fees vary by shelter and are used to cover basic vet care, vaccinations, and food. We’ll always provide transparent info upfront, and all fees support the wellbeing of pets in the system.
We soon will list rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and occasionally reptiles depending on the shelter. You will be able to filter your search by pet type, age, size, and personality.
In such cases, we encourage adopters to reach out to the original shelter for guidance or possible rehoming support. We're here to help with care and understanding.
Currently, our services are focused within South Africa. However, we’re exploring ways to expand and support international adoptions in future. Keep an eye on our updates for developments.
If you’re a registered shelter or rescue organisation, you can easily create an account and list pets on our platform. Include details about the pet’s personality, care needs, and any special requirements. We’ll help you reach the right adopters.
Members enjoy exclusive perks including discounts on products and services, early access to events, and special workshops focused on responsible pet care.
You can choose to contribute monthly or donate to specific causes. We provide regular updates so you know exactly how your support is making a difference.
Individuals and businesses can sponsor pets, events, or adoption drives. It’s a meaningful way to get involved and help more animals find loving homes while supporting community-based initiatives.
Volunteers play a vital role at Pet Central whether it's helping out at events, or offering professional services. Simply sign up on our website to express your interest. If you like taking snaps, we are always looking for more people to help take pics to make our furry friends look good.
We collaborate with shelters, pet care providers, brands, and organisations that share our mission. If you’re interested in becoming a partner, visit our Partnerships Page to get started.
We carefully vet all our partners to ensure they align with our mission of ethical, transparent, and responsible pet adoption. We prioritise those who put animal welfare first and follow best practices in care and rehabilitation.
For general pet health concerns, our website offers trusted resources and advice curated by our veterinary and animal care partners.
Ultimately, the adoption process is carried out by the shelters. Our role is to get eyes on the pets in the care of our partners. We partner only with reputable shelters and require an adoption screening process to ensure every pet is matched with a loving and suitable home. Our educational resources also promote lifelong, responsible pet ownership.
