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.)

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
Hi Stephanie,

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
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.
Hi Gail and Nana,
I have sent both of you private emails with information on how to contact Tokyo ARK. Thank you!

Hi..i am not sure if you can read this..i am desperately looking for someone who can give a home for these 3 cats(mother cat and 2 kittens) ,they were stray cats but tame and sweet.I would love to have them in my place but i already have a rescued dog,my daughter have an allergy to cats and i dont have a place anymore for these cats,they stay outside..i am worrying about some neighbors who might complain later about the cat’s presence and i cant do anything about it aside from finding someone who is willing to give a home for these poor creatures.

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?

Hello
I live in Ibaraki (close to Chiba and Saitama) and hope there is somebody looking for a cat to adopt. A very loving cat that loves the outdoors. Unfortunately, my neighbors don’t feel the same way which has grown into a very difficult situation for me. I really love my cat but at this point the most loving thing I can do you him is find a better home where he can have a better life. He originally was an abandoned cat, fixed, good health, and 8 years old.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

Hello.. I live in sado city Niigata.. I am looking forward to adopt a dog a small breed dog… I live with my husband we don’t have kind..
Hello, I live in Nagano City with my husband. Our children moved out of the house many years ago. We are both in our sixties and I especially am finding that I feel lonely and would love tomadopt a cat to take care of and to keep each other company. We previously had a golden retriever whom we loved dearly but sadly she died at the age of 5 from cancer. My husband is near retirement and I have a lot of free time each day so a cat would not be neglected at all. We both love animals.
