Browse rescue pets for adoption with adoption fees under $100 on Tradingpost, listed by rescue groups, shelters and foster carers. Every listing on this page is an animal waiting on a new home, so there is no rush and no queue to beat.
Rescue pets are not only dogs and cats. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, horses and smaller animals all come up for rehoming, and each of them has its own needs for space, company, diet and daily care. Tell the group what your home can realistically offer and let them help you narrow it down.
Arrange to meet the animal in person before you decide, and see where they have been living, whether that is a shelter, a foster home, a paddock or an aviary. With a young animal, meet them alongside their mother or the rest of their group where that can be arranged. Ask what is known about their history, whether they are desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations, and ask for the breeder or surrender background if the group has it. A good rescue group will answer all of that without being pushed, and will tell you what they offer after the adoption, from a settling-in call to taking the animal back if the match does not work out.
Also on Tradingpost: rescue dogs for adoption, cats and kittens for adoption, and the wider birds, horses and other pets sections. Getting ready for a new arrival? Have a look through pet accessories and the rest of Pets and Horses.
Filter by state and region to narrow the search, then message or call the rescue group or carer through the listing to arrange a time to meet. Adoption fees are set by the group, and they usually go towards desexing, microchipping, vaccinations and vet care, so ask what is included before you commit.
