Pets available for adoption in Milano

Milan, the capital of Lombardy, has a very active network of animal welfare organizations and shelters working for animal wellbeing across the territory. Despite being a major metropolis, dog and cat adoption is widespread among Milanese residents, supported by a particularly strong volunteer culture. Shelters in the Milan area — including the municipal kennel on Via Aquila and numerous private organizations — house hundreds of animals looking for families every year. Many are medium and large-sized dogs, often mixed breeds, left by owners for economic reasons or relocation. Feline associations manage dozens of feral cat colonies spread across the city. On Adoot.me you can find all animals looking for adoption in Milan and its metropolitan area. Submit your adoption request directly online and contact shelters for any questions. Adoption conditions vary by organization — check each animal's profile for details. Adopting in Milan is simpler than you might think: many associations organize weekend open days and do their best to find the right match between animal and family.
