Take the quizAdopt Pets Portugal is the country's largest independent directory for adoptable dogs and cats from shelters and municipal kennels (canis municipais) across Portugal — from CROA in Porto and União Zoófila in Lisbon to Animal Rescue Algarve, Cadela Carlota, Cantinho da Milu, Bianca, Amigo Fiel, Carvoeiro Cat Charity and many more. Whether you're looking to adopt a puppy, kitten, adult or senior pet, looking to support your local shelter, looking to volunteer or just LOOKING, our directory makes it easy to find your perfect companion in Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and beyond. Every year, thousands of stray dogs and abandoned cats across Portugal need new homes. By adopting a rescued dog or rescued cat instead of buying, you give an animal a second chance at life — and free up space in shelters for the next one. Browse pets for adoption by breed, age, gender or municipality, from Braga and Porto in the north, through Coimbra and Lisbon, down to Faro and the Algarve. Every listing links directly to the shelter or municipal kennels so you can visit, meet the animal and start the adoption process today. Adopt, don't shop — find your new best friend in Portugal.
