virtual adoption process


If you love animals but do not have the conditions to bring home one, join our Virtual Adoption Program. Instead of bringing a pet home which you cannot afford at this moment, you can choose to donate to a certain pet on our website.

This program comes from a fact that some animals stay with us forever and depend on us for lifelong care because they are no longer able to fend for themselves. Each of them will need an approximate budget of 7 million VND (USD 300) for food, diaper or litter, vaccination etc. By becoming the Godparent of one or more of the senior members of our family, you can help us keep them healthy, happy and safe and support our work rescuing and rehabilitating other animals too. In return, you’ll become a special friend to an animal in need.

You can choose a one-off donation for the annual spending or regular monthly donation.

If your donations can cover the spending in 12 continuous months, you will receive a small 'thank you' for your support. It also serves as a proud reminder of the animal you are helping to care for. We have two pack options - an online printable option and a postal option. The contents vary between the two:

📧 Online printable pack:

This is the instant option - the pack is digital and will be emailed to you so that you can print off the materials yourself. This option saves us money on printing and postage so that more can be spent on the animals. You will receive:
- A personalised certificate in recognition of your virtual adoption (PDF)
- Exclusive news & photos of your adopted animal sent via email and available online

📦 Postal pack:

With this option, the pack will be posted to you.
- A personalised certificate in recognition of your virtual adoption
- Exclusive news & photos of your adopted animal sent via email and available online
- A small gift from our sponsors (while in stock)

If you have any questions regarding the pet, please contact our Adoption Counselors (listed in the animal’s profile page). If you want to find out more information of our Virtual Adoption Program, please send an email to hanoipetadoption@gmail.com, with email subject “Virtual Adoption".

Please note: If your chosen pet is adopted by a family in the future, the donated money will be sent to HPA’s fund to support other animals in our shelter.
