Dogs and Cats for Adoption in Japan

Angels with Fur Japan is now working with groups like Tokyo ARK and Japan Cat Network to display photos of dogs and cats who are up for adoption in Japan. Please see the sidebar for a collection of photos of the pets who have yet to find homes. Click on “more photos” to see the full collection. Please contact us or leave a comment if you are interested in adopting a pet in Japan and we will put you in touch with a reputable shelter in your area. There are lots of pets in need of good homes, so even if you don’t see your new pet in the photos, please get in touch.

Please spread the word about this service by telling your friends and linking to this page on your blog so more people become aware of the possibility of adopting pets in Japan instead of buying them at pet stores. (You can also follow our posts on Facebook.)

  3. I was visiting your website and my family and I are interested in adopting a cat or dog. We are military and are new to Japan. We will be having our own home soon in the Atsugi area and are wondering if there is an adoption place close by to us. I thank you for all that you are doing to help these animals. Stephanie Estrada

  7. My husband and I recently lost our beloved poodle and are looking for a dog. I am home during the day and we are lonely for the companionship of a small fur child. We live in Ebina. Thank you

  8. I am trying to contact someone who knows how to get in touch with the whereabouts of the Shiba-mix, Daisey, who is looking for a home. My mother in Tokyo is very interested in adopting Daisey. She and I have been sending emails to Tokyo Ark and have not gotten a response. I would like to know the contact number for Tokyo dog adoptions, in particular, Daisey.

    Thank you.

  17. I live in a roomy home, large back yard fenced in, have three cats and three dogs, all rescue animals. I am willing to adopt a dog or cat from Japan and look froward to hearing from you. Thank you.

  19. Last year I picked up a stray kitten and took him in, thinking I could offer him a home for a long time. Unfortunately, it looks like I may have to return to the US and will be unable to take him. His name is Bento (since I found him at a bento store). He is 1 year old, very loving, but also very active and would probably benefit from being an in-door, out-door cat. Would anyone be interested in adopting?
