Pet Adoption & Rehoming at Dobs Pets & Exotics

At Dobs Pets & Exotics, we believe every animal deserves a safe, loving, and permanent home. Our Pet Adoption & Rehoming Programme connects rescued, surrendered, or shelter-linked animals with caring owners who can provide the love, attention, and stability they need.

Whether it’s a parrot in need of a patient companion, a tortoise looking for a forever garden, or a small mammal hoping for gentle hands, we’re here to give them the best possible second chance.

Why Adopt Instead of Shop?

Save a Life – Giving an animal a home frees up rescue space for others in need.
Reduce Demand for Mass Breeding – Adoption helps combat unethical breeding practices.
Unconditional Love – Rescued animals often form the deepest, most rewarding bonds.

How Our Rehoming Process Works

Meet the Animals – Visit our store in Moneygurney Yard, Maryborough Hill, Cork or check our latest adoption listings.
Application & Chat – We’ll guide you through a friendly conversation about your lifestyle, home environment, and experience.
Health & Behaviour Checks – Every animal is assessed to ensure they’re ready for adoption.
Adoption Day – Take home your new friend with all the advice and care guidance you need.

Animals We Often Have for Adoption

Reptiles – Bearded dragons, leopard geckos, snakes, tortoises
Birds – Budgies, cockatiels, parrots
Small Mammals – Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters
Aquatics – Fish and freshwater setups

(Please note: availability changes regularly — adoption is on a first-approved basis.)
