Key Services & Highlights

• Adoption Services: Animal Aid offers adoption for a variety of animals—dogs, cats, pocket pets (e.g., rabbits, guinea pigs), and small livestock. Every animal is assessed for health and temperament, vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, and prepared for a loving home.
• "Seniors for Seniors" Program: A heartwarming initiative pairing senior animals (aged 8+) with senior citizens, offering a 25% discount on both adoption fees and shop, grooming, or boarding services, plus a free annual health check and vaccination.
• Comprehensive Adoption Process: Animal Aid emphasizes responsible matching. The process may include supervised meetings, home checks, trial adoptions, and meetings with existing pets to ensure compatibility.
• Post‑Adoption Support: New adopters receive support including training, grooming, veterinary services, behavioral advice, and even discounts on related services from the shelter's facilities.
• Veterinary, Boarding, Grooming, Training & Lost‑Pet Support: They operate an on-site vet clinic, boarding kennels, grooming salon, training courses, and help for lost pets—including forms, guidance, and outreach tools.
• Community Contributions: Animal Aid operates op-shops, fosters volunteers, and welcomes donations, sponsorships, and corporate or event partnerships to support care and expansion of services.
