Saving Lives One Adoption at a Time
Vada's Angels is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals, with a strong emphasis on finding them loving homes. Our efforts involve actively retrieving animals from pounds and shelters, alongside community initiatives to educate people about animal welfare. We firmly stand by the belief that every animal deserves a chance at a happy life and are dedicated to facilitating this through our adoption programs. For more information, please read our FAQs about adopting.
Understanding Our Adoption Process
Individual Animal Profiles
We encourage prospective adopters to carefully read each animal's profile rather than applying based solely on appearance. Our animals have specific requirements based on their behavior and needs, assessed by our trainers, team, and fosterers. The information provided is tailored to the well-being of each animal, aiming to ensure successful matches.
Application Process
To streamline the adoption procedure, all applications must be completed using our online form. The application process is designed to gather essential details about potential adopters and their households to match them with animals that align with their lifestyles and preferences.
Matching Process
Once an application progresses, our team will reach out to discuss the animal further and arrange a meet-and-greet session. We prioritize pairing animals with homes that meet their unique needs, emphasizing responsible pet ownership. Vada’s Angels encourages treating adopted animals as family members, providing indoor living spaces and secure areas for their safety and well-being.
Veterinary Care
Each adopted animal undergoes comprehensive veterinary care, including vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, microchipping, registration, and desexing. Adoption fees contribute to covering these essential expenses, ensuring the well-being of the animals in our care.

🔊 Big dog lovers – this one’s for YOU! Meet Jax, the goofy, affectionate whirlwind who’s equal parts cuddle bug and adventure buddy 🐾💜 She’s the kind of pup who throws herself into life with joy, curiosity, and a whole lot of goofiness. We think Jax is a Pointer x Mastiff and at a year old she’s still very much a big puppy! She’s strong, energetic, and sometimes a little too enthusiastic with her love, but that’s all part of her charm. ✨ Jax’s highlights: 🛋 Professional couch hog and world-class cuddler 🦴 Obsessed with chewing on her hoof 🐶 She loves socialising with other dogs, although with the tiny ones she sometimes forgets just how big she really is! 🎓 Training is going well; she’s learning polite greetings and how to heel on lead, but can be distracted by cats or dogs along the way. Jax is boisterous, full of energy, and would suit an active family with older kids and confident adults who can keep up with her adventures. Every outing is exciting in her eyes, and she’ll happily crash into cuddle mode when the day is done. Sweet, passionate, and absolutely hilarious – Jax is the kind of dog who fills your home with love and laughter. 👉 Got space in your life (and on your couch) for a little extra dog? Jax is your girl! 💕

From pound life to couch life – just look at me now! I’ve traded cold concrete floors for cuddles, soft blankets and belly rubs… and I’m loving it 🥹💕 I was found roaming the streets, skinny and scared. A kind human picked me up and took me to the pound, hoping my family would come for me. But no one ever did 😔 That’s when my story changed – I got my freedom ride to a loving foster home, and let me tell you, I settled in fast 🛋️🐾 I’ve been such a good girl in my foster home. I’m medium-sized, the perfect size for both snuggles and strolls! 💕 I’ll thrive best in a home where I’m the only dog – I really prefer to have my humans all to myself 🐶💗 And no cats for me, please! I like a calm, predictable home where I can be your one and only 🐾👑 If you're looking for a loyal, loving girl to share your life (and your couch!) with… I might just be the one 🥰

💙 Handsome, energetic, and full of love – that’s Jett! 🐾 This Boxer x Mastiff is ready to find his person, and we’re open to a foster-to-adopt home for the right match. 🎾 Jett’s favourites? Balls, sticks, and even plastic drink bottles – anything that lets him burn off energy! He’s affectionate and playful, with a big personality that makes him hard not to fall for. ✅ Toilet and crate trained ✅ Knows basic commands like sit, stop, and stay 🍗 Food-motivated and eager to learn (training before mealtime works a treat!) 🚶♂️ Walks well on lead most of the time, still learning to tune out distractions 🔁 Recall is a work in progress, so treats are essential when out and about Jett is in that classic teenage phase – strong, energetic, and a bit opinionated – so he’ll need a confident, experienced owner to provide guidance and consistency. He’s recently been neutered, so with structure and time, he’ll only continue to improve. 🏡 Best in a home with older children (he’s a bit boisterous with his greetings) 🐶 Would thrive as an only dog, or possibly with a calm, large companion who won’t encourage rough play Jett is loyal, loving, and has so much potential – he just needs someone to help him understand his place in the world and give him the life he deserves. 💕 👉 Think you could be the one for Jett?

🐾 WOOF! It's me, Kustom! 🐾 Life’s been a bit ruff, but I’m on a mission to turn things around and become the BEST boy I can be! 🐕💪 I haven’t had the easiest start, being abandoned by my parents and ending up in jail (yikes! 😅), but I promise, I’m a GOOD boy just trying to be my best self. At about 5 months old, I’m a Staffie x Heading Dog, and I’ve got BIG dreams! Here’s what’s on my wish list: 🐾 More adoptive kids - I loooove snuggling up with little humans. They keep me warm, and I keep them warm too! It’s a win-win 🥰 🐾 A trampoline – I’ve seen the kiddos having a blast on it, but truth be told... I secretly think it’s MY favorite game! Bouncing is my jam! 😂 🐾 Walks to the beach, river, or bush – I love to get out and explore. The smells, the sights, the sounds... I’m here for ALL of it 🌊🌳 🐾 Someone who will love me for ME – I’ve got a lot of love to give, and I’m looking for that special human who will accept me just the way I am 💖 So, if you’re looking for a snuggle buddy, trampoline champ, and adventure sidekick, I’m your guy! I promise I’ll work hard to be your best friend forever 🐾💕 Ready to bring me home? 😎

☄️ Meet Comet! ☄️ Comet is as cuddly and lovable as they come. 💙 This goofy, big-hearted pup is convinced he’s lap-sized (spoiler: he’s not!) and will happily wiggle his way into your arms or onto the couch for snuggles. With his tail wags, belly-rub love, and endless silly antics, Comet is guaranteed to keep you smiling every day. ✨ What Comet brings to the table: 🦋 Social butterfly—he loves meeting new people & doggy pals. 🐾 Crate trained 🐕 Leash training is going well. 🐾 Potty training is almost there, I just need to be reminded to pause play every now and head outside 🚙 Travels like a pro, usually lying down for the ride Comet’s goofy charm shines brightest when he’s parading around with his favorite toy duck 🦆 or practicing his game of fetch, though bringing the ball back is still under negotiation. If you’re after a snuggly, toy-obsessed sweetheart with a heart as big as his paws, Comet is the one.

He’ll trot after you in the garden 🌿, keep you company at your feet while you potter around 👣, curl up next to you in the evenings 🛋️, and then happily tuck himself into bed when he’s ready 💤.

Between his zoomy bursts of play 🎾 and his epic naps 😴, Ash is busy learning the ropes: 📚 Already mastering sit, down & recall 🏡 Crate trained and learning his “crate cue” 🚽 Nearly toilet trained (just the occasional oops) 🚗 Travels well in the car after a quick settle 🍃 Loves lying outside, “chatting” with the trees Fetch, tug, rope ball chase – he’s up for it all!
