您領我養
APA協會跟公立收容所一樣有開放領養收編毛孩(領養回家成為家人),為了讓被領養的毛孩能夠擁有幸福的生活,協會對於領養有一套嚴謹的作業流程跟挑選飼主的標準,以確保領養人和毛孩能愉快的相處生活,希望有意願的朋友能多加配合。
若您目前無法配合協會的作業流程,可另洽詢其他公立收容所詢問領養事宜。
領養作業流程如下:
- 先至場內與毛孩互動幾次,直至確認毛孩受到驚嚇可以經由準飼主喚回。
- 啟動試養期一週,中間若遇到困難,可無條件帶回保育場。
- 啟動磨合期一個月,期間有家訪、電訪、臉書回報等定期追蹤。
- 辦理正式過戶,帶著毛孩回保育場拍照留存紀錄。
領養代替購買,米克斯就是驚喜包
Q: Can I adopt the dog I’m sponsoring? If so, how do I go about it?
Similar to the public animal shelters, all of our rescue animals are up for adoption. In order to ensure the animals go on to live a happy life in their forever home they so well deserve, APA has in place a set of adoption procedures and standards by which we select the best adopter for our rescue animals. The following regulations were established with the intention to making sure both the adopter and the adopted animals will make a great fit for the long run. If you feel the following adoption procedure may not be for you and your family, please feel free to visit your local public animal shelter as there are many lovely animals at the public animal shelter who are also waiting for their forever home.
Adopters will be subject to following the below adoption procedure:
- We invite prospective adopters to come hang out with the animal a few times, until they can successfully call back the animal (in all situations) using a recall cue.
- Take the animal home for a 1-week trial period. If unresolvable issues arise, adopter can return the animal at any time during the 1-week time period.
- If no issues arise during the 1-week trial period, APA will conduct periodic checks via home visits, phone interviews, and FB exchanges during the first month of the transitional period.
APA transfers ownership to adopter at the end of the 1-month transitional period.
「您領我養」自92年2月份推出,一開始知道的人可能不多,另外受到SARS的波及,並沒有太多強有力的宣傳,但由於社會上善心人士的響應支持,也有了初步的成果,直到同年六月份我們在7-11超商發放「您領我養」宣傳折頁,透過廠商通路以及媒體的宣傳,終於獲得社會大眾普遍的迴響,如何進一步有效推廣,喚起社會大眾對於流浪狗收容安置的關注,進而發揮愛心一方面不棄養,一方面對於已被棄養的狗狗伸出援手,的確是我們有待努力的部分,也希望大家多多支持並口耳相傳,支持響應「您領我養」!
Q: When did APA’s Animal Sponsorship Program begin? How come I have never heard of it before?
APA’s Animal Sponsorship Program was launched in February of 2003. In June of the same year, we started distributing the Program’s flyers in convenience stores island-wide which helped gain wide support from the general public. We will continue our work to promote public awareness on the welfare of the animals kept in animal shelters. We hope through our work, we can lend a helping hand to the abandoned animals while at the same time educate the masses on the merit of treating pets as our lifelong family member, and to never abandon them under any circumstances.

※小提醒:探視時段為避開清潔、餵飼,如您的時間允許,建議在中午過後為佳。
Q: Can I take my sponsored animal out for the day and/or home to spend the weekend over at my place?
Yes, you can! We are open all year-round, visiting hours are from 10:00-11:30 and 13:30-15:30 (latest entry hour is at 3pm). All visits are more than welcome!

*Friendly reminder: If possible, best time to visit is after cleaning and feeding time, which is after noon hour.
狗狗貓貓不論是往生或是找到新主人被領養,我們都會儘快通知認養人,您可以自由選擇改認養其他狗或是終止認養。
Q: Can I sponsor other animals if my sponsored animal passes away?
You will be notified immediately should your sponsored animal pass away or if he/she gets adopted. You can choose to adopt other animals or cancel your sponsorship.
其實狗狗不論是否被認養,我們都是一樣地照顧,只是我們對認養人另會寄發認養證,除此之外,如果您認養是親和力高的狗,在您時間許可下,還可以申請帶出遊玩或帶回家過夜照顧。
Q: What happens to the animals who don’t have a sponsor? Is the care they receive different from those who have a sponsor?
Regardless of whether the animal has a sponsor or not, they’re all cared for in the same manner during their stay at Bali Sanctuary. The only difference is the sponsors get a sponsorship card for their sponsored animal, and if your sponsored animal is approachable and friendly, you can also apply to take them out for a day or spend the night over at your home.
我們的最終期盼乃是保育場收容的棄犬貓在暫時的安置、整理、矯正之後,都能幫牠們找到一個好主人,重新給牠們一個溫暖的家,因此狗狗一律以能被領養為優先考慮,當然若是有行為問題的狗兒,也許暫時不是那麼適合被領養,但是仍然希望藉著良好的生活環境,以及工作人員的細心照料,慢慢地讓牠們恢復原來忠實、親人的天性。
Q: Can I adopt the animals at Bali Sanctuary?
Our ultimate goal is for our rescue animals to find a forever home. Animals who are still dealing with behavioral issues may not be adoptable for now until further training is provided by our staff member.
重複認養,目的在於避免有小部分的狗最終仍然無人認養,所以讓比較討喜的狗狗來幫不討喜的狗狗拉票,而且我們所有的捐款收入都是統籌運用、平均分配,並不會造成差別待遇,每隻狗狗都可以享受得到。當認養總頭數超過實際犬隻數目時,我們也才能有足夠的經費在收容安置的硬體設備、訓練上做得更完善。
Q: Why is it that each rescue animal has more than one sponsor? Wouldn’t the dogs who are less popular (in terms of their appearance) be robbed of the chance of being sponsored this way?
The reason that there are multiple sponsors for each rescue animal is so that the extra funding received can be shared with those who don’t have a sponsor. Also, any excess funding rendered from multiple sponsorships will be used toward providing behavioral training and upkeep of Bali Sanctuary.
