Qatar Pets/QAWS does have an adoption fee/donation policy.

 

To promote responsible pet ownership we have all our animals vaccinated, health checked and neutered prior to re-homing. The fee you are asked to donate simply covers the cost of these veterinary procedures.

 

In carrying out the above procedures we:

 

1) Ensure a healthy pet is adopted - the pet shops do NOT do this

2) Prevent any more un-wanted litters

 

Pets are an additional expense and need to be budgeted for. If you are taking on a pet and cannot cover an adoption/vet bill maybe you should re-think owning one.

 

Getting a pet for free does not mean you will not need to spend any money on it.
