Can I see the dog prior to adoption? 2017-01-30T03:17:11+00:00

Yes, you are more than welcome to come and meet our dogs and cats, either at the pound or at their foster home. It is also possible, and advisable, to bring your existing pet to ensure that they get on fine. All visits have to be pre-arranged and if at a pound, accompanied by an Orfée representative.

Where are you based? 2017-02-03T03:03:16+00:00

Orfée is not a refuge so we don’t have a ‘base’. Our dogs and cats will be located at either one of our affiliated pounds or in a foster home. The dept where they are will be indicated in their write up.

How much is the adoption fee? 2017-01-30T03:19:25+00:00

The adoption fee varies but is generally between €150 and €200 for dogs, and €90 and €120 for cats.
