HOW TO ADOPT A DOG FROM LOMBOK

How to Adopt

By adopting a Lomdog you're not just gaining a pet, you're giving a rescued street dog a second chance, you also free space in our shelter for us to save another dog from a life of hardship.

Whether you are based on the island or looking to adopt internationally, we will guide you through each step so the process feels clear and manageable.

We do not charge an adoption fee.

Instead, adopters cover essential costs such as vaccinations, travel, and documentation.

The Adoption Process

Browse our available dogs and take your time getting to know them. We will help you choose based on personality, energy level, and your home environment, not just appearance.

Fill out a short application so we can understand your situation and what kind of dog would suit you best. This is simply to make sure each dog goes to the right home.

We will arrange a call or chat to talk through everything. You can ask questions, and we can make sure it feels like a good fit on both sides. Once approved, your dog will be reserved for you.

Before going home, every dog receives:

• Health checks

• Vaccinations

• Parasite treatment

• Microchipping for international adoptions

We make sure each dog is healthy and ready for the next step.

1. Chose your dog

Local Adoption in Lombok

International Adoption

If you are based in Lombok, the process is much quicker.

Timeline: around 2 to 4 weeks

You will be able to meet your dog and spend as much time as needed getting to know them.

Local adoptions make a big difference. They allow dogs to stay close to where they were rescued and help us continue our work.

We regularly arrange adoptions to Europe and other countries.

The process takes longer because of international health regulations, but we guide you through everything, and handle all paperwork.

Timeline: around 4 months

This includes:

• Rabies vaccination

• Blood test

• Required waiting period before travel

• Export paperwork

• Flight arrangements

Dogs travel in airline-approved crates and are carefully prepared so the journey is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Costs

We do not charge an adoption fee. Instead, adopters cover essential costs such as vaccinations, travel, and documentation.

These may include:

• Veterinary care and vaccinations

• Rabies blood test for international travel

• Microchip

• Travel crate

• Flights

• Export and import paperwork

Costs vary depending on the destination and the size of the dog. We will always explain everything clearly before you decide to go ahead.

Adopter Requirements

To make sure every dog goes to a safe and loving home, we ask that adopters meet the following:

• You are over 18

• You can provide a safe and stable home

• You are ready to commit long term (15 years+)

• You understand that adjustment takes time

We are here to support you through the process.
