Adopt an animal and you will be fulfilling one of their biggest needs: love and companionship!!
The dogs and cats rescued by Simabo receive around the clock care. It is important to continue this care for the animals not lucky enough to be adopted yet.
Costs for adoption are as follows:
- Simabo’s yearly membership card: 12€
- Vaccination with chip and booklet: 40€
- After at least one month from vaccination: drawing blood, centrifugate it and preparing it to go to Europe, including looking for a carrier at the right time and for a vet in Europe that forward the serum to the competent institution: 20€
- Anti rabies blood test (must be done in Europe by an authorized lab): 100€. If the test is positive, the pet can travel after 3 months from the sampling date, if the test is negative, the pet must be revaccinated and the blood taken again after 1 month, and then re-tested, and if the test is positive, the pet can travel after 3 months from the sampling date.
- Kennel for sending the dog/cat (as you deem appropriate, you can buy one here or send one from abroad at your expense)
- Paperwork at the Ministry of Agriculture not before 5 days before departure and vet consultation and issuing of a ”Declaration of microchipping, vaccination and good health” for travelling : 10€ for dogs adopted from us 50€ for dogs that have already the dog’s documents done (booklet, anti-rabies test)
- ONLY FOR DOGS THAT go out of the airport in Lisbon, or for dogs that go to SWITZERLAND: sending the documents to the destination airport check point to get authorization to disembark, as soon as all the docs are available: 20€
- Transport of the animal to the airport on the day of departure, assistance during check-in, sedation and any other needs: 30€
In case the animal you would like to adopt is not from our shelter but she/he is rescued by you and you would like to leave him/her with us for the time necessary to prepare him for travelling, you will be charged 200€ for the preparation work (normally longer than 4 months) and 100 €/month for food, medical assistance, spaying/neutering and any other need.
HOW TO adopt AN ANIMAL:
- Choose the dog / cat you wish to adopt from our gallery (click the button below).

- When you have chosen your pet, fill in the form below the animal card and tell us about you.
Please use our contact page or write an email to [email protected] for further information and instructions pertaining to travelling abroad and adoption fees.
For each animal adopted abroad there are hundreds who remain in Sao Vicente struggling every day for food and water.
Help us to help them to survive and to stop reproducing, creating even more suffering!
If you are unable to adopt at this time, you can sponsor one of our cats or dogs by covering their expenses on a monthly basis. He or she will be forever grateful, thank you!!
