About dog adoption in Surrey
Surrey is the largest suburb in Metro Vancouver after the city itself, spread out south of the Fraser River and reached from Vancouver along Highway 1 and King George Boulevard. It is one of the fastest-growing and most diverse municipalities in British Columbia, with busy hubs in Guildford, Newton, Fleetwood, Cloverdale and South Surrey. Many Surrey households have the space and the yard that rescue dogs of every size need, which makes it a strong place to adopt.
Embrace a Discarded Animal Society is based in Surrey itself, and Surrey adopters can also draw on the wider Vancouver-area rescue pool a short drive away. We aggregate adoptable dogs from Embrace a Discarded Animal Society, the BC SPCA, Loved at Last Dog Rescue, Heart and Soul Dog and Cat Rescue, and Baibao Rescue and Adoption Society into one place. Many of these are foster-based rescues, so meet-and-greets often happen at a foster home or a nearby meeting point rather than a building, and several arrange transport across the Lower Mainland.
Listings refresh regularly so you always see dogs that are currently available. You can filter by size, age, energy level and how a dog does with kids, cats or other dogs, then read the full profile and apply directly with the rescue that lists the dog. From most of Surrey the drive to a Vancouver-area meet is manageable, and many rescues will coordinate a handoff closer to home.

Surrey Dog Adoption FAQ
Are there dog rescues in Surrey?
Yes. Embrace a Discarded Animal Society is based in Surrey and rehomes dogs and cats across Metro Vancouver, with every animal fostered and vetted before adoption. Several other Vancouver-area rescues also serve Surrey families and are only a short drive away, including the BC SPCA, Loved at Last Dog Rescue, Heart and Soul Dog and Cat Rescue, and Baibao Rescue and Adoption Society. We aggregate them so you can browse them all in one place.
Do I have to drive to Vancouver to adopt?
Not always. Many of the Vancouver-area rescues that serve Surrey are foster-based, so meet-and-greets often happen at a foster home or a meeting point rather than a central building. Several also coordinate transport across the Lower Mainland, so you may be able to arrange a handoff closer to Surrey. Details vary by rescue, so check the listing.
How long does the adoption process take from Surrey?
It depends on the rescue and the dog, but the process usually runs from a few days to a couple of weeks. Most Vancouver-area rescues ask for an application, a reference or vet check, and sometimes a home visit or meet-and-greet before approving a Surrey adopter. Popular dogs can have several applications, so applying early and completely helps.
What does the adoption fee cover for Surrey adopters?
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, and it typically covers spay or neuter, vaccinations and a microchip, and sometimes deworming or an initial vet check. The exact inclusions vary between the Vancouver-area rescues that serve Surrey, so confirm what is covered on the individual dog's listing before you apply.
