PROPERTY INSPECTION APPLICATION

Before you continue, please note the following:

  • All potential adopters must understand and comply with their area’s municipal by-laws in terms of ownership/keeping of dogs and cats, or the adoption may not proceed.
  • If no written permission from the property owner and /or townhouse body corporate is given to tenants who wish to adopt a pet, the adoption cannot proceed.
  • If you are an AACL JHB hospital client and wish to adopt, the Chief Veterinarian will need to give permission first.
