Let’s Adopt! started as Facebook-based group motivated by one single goal: to help animals in need in Turkey. It had no affiliation whatsoever with any associations, foundations, NGOs or similar institutions in Turkey, or abroad.
The genesis to its creation is the belief that all of these have badly failed Turkey’s desperate animals to this day. You can build bridges but the empty space remains – some things never change. The animal protection system in Turkey was not working. Period.
Let’s Adopt! was and continues to be about building new bridges – one animal at a time, one individual at a time – to connect a new generation of animal activists in the world with one another and leave the old guard behind.
In recent years Let’s Adopt! has expanded exponentially. Reaching to rescue animals throughout the globe. With chapters in Germany, Indonesia, Bulgaria, Canada and several others, Let’s Adopt! is establishing a network-of-good where animals will be given the best opportunity for rescue, immediate care, and survival. We incorporated in December of 2011 in the State of Massachusetts, USA with the goal of continuing this growth and furthering our mission.
There are a number of conditions for adopting an animal through the Let’s Adopt! network.
1.Prospective adoptants should have at least one other animal under their care and be able to demonstrate their ability to take care of animals through their history with this already existing animal. Animals are individuals with thoughts, feelings, and personalities. Only by having an existing animal can Let’s Adopt! feel comfortable knowing that the adoptant is aware of this.
2.Should a prospective adoptant live in a home with a garden, he or she should guarantee that the animal to be adopted through Let’s Adopt! will live inside the home as opposed to the garden only. To live with the family. To be a part of the family.
3.Individuals who adopt an animal through Let’s Adopt! agree to create a photograph album later on that contains images from the new life of the animal to be shared with all members of the network on an ongoing basis and to be published on our blog. It is the glue that connects and inspires the community.
4. Let’s Adopt! animals will be fed a species appropriate raw diet. The commercial pet food industry has proven to at best not fully benefit the health of the animal, at worst physically harm animals. With Cancer as the leading cause of death for companion animals in industrialized countries, one common factor remains the commercial pet food diet. With the ever expanding outsourcing of pet food and ingredients to unregulated production markets, a new danger has emerged. Once Let’s Adopt! saves an animal we make ever effort to ensure its long, healthy and prosperous life. Raw is the only way to do this.
5. A Let’s Adopt! home must be a non-smoking home. Second-hand smoke kills hundreds of thousands of companion animals every year. Most of Let’s Adopt! animals have been close to death prior to rescue. We do not put them back in that situation.
6. No de-clawing, de-barking, or any other kind of cruel behavior modification procedures or methods are allowed. Ever. Period.
7. Additional conditions may apply in individual cases.
There are also important ground rules in Let’s Adopt!’s modus operandi that we would like all prospective adoptants to be aware of:
- Let’s Adopt! is entirely about rescued animals and animals in need. It does not assist individuals who are seeking to adopt a particular breed, or an animal with particular characteristics. It is those same mindsets that have put many of our animals in dire situations to begin with. Inquiries of this sort will simply be ignored.
- We are accountable for all our animals for life. We rescued them; we will protect them; we will watch over them. To some this may seem intrusive. To us, and all of our adoptants, it is comforting.

Hello, I do hope you can help me! I’m about to leave Istanbul. I live at Kucukbakkalkoy, Kadikoy.
Due to economic crisis, I have lost my job. I must move fast for this reason.
So, booked a flight out of Istanbul for Monday 20th April 2009.
I’m British, and managed to rehome one of my kittens. They are both 6 months old. I now have a very small cat, takir (tabby) Her name’s Tabby! She’s cute, and house trained, vaccinated. I have her Health Book.
I don’t have money to take her with me, unfortunately!
I’m very sad about that! But, frantic now as I don’t know anyone, or speak Turkish and have very little money left.
I’m contacting you as a last resort. Can you help me?
Melody.

Sayın Larkhill,
Facebookdan oluşumunuz sayfasına ulaştıysam da yardımınızı rica edeceğim aşağıda detaylarını belirttiğim konuyla ilgili herhangi bir yönlendirmeye ulaşamadım. Vakit ayırıp bana yardımcı olabilirseniz çok memnun olurum.
7 temmuz günü Rumelihisarı sahil yolunda yol kenarında tasmasız, son derece korkmuş yaşlı bir golden retrieverla:Paşa’yla karşılaştım. (Adını ben koydum, bulduğumda tasması yoktu).
Bulduğumun ertesi günü Emirgan’da bir veterinere götürdüm ancak veteriner üzerinden bir hafta geçmeden herhangi bir ilaç vs. vermeyi uygun bulmadığını belirttiği için komşumun bahçeli evinde 2 gün baktık. Paşa son dört gündür yine köpeği olan bir başka arkadaşımın evinde. Ancak evin diğer köpeğiyle anlaşamadığından ona artık kalıcı bir yer bulmak zorundayım.
Arkadaşlarımın yardımıyla kısa süreli barınmasını sağlayabiliyorum Paşanın. Ancak yol kenarına bırakılmış olmanın olası travmasının üzerine bir de ona yaşattığım bu göçebe hayatı eminim yaşlı bünyesine hiç de iyi gelmiyor. Paşa’ya kalıcı bir yuva bulma konusunda beni yönlendirmenizi rica ederim.
En iyi dileklerimle,
Sevil

Hello.
My Name is Cindy and i Live in Denmark.
My Parents just returned from a trip to Istanbul. First of all they were in chok from the horror they saw in Istanbul. The way the animals were threated were unacceptable. After helping alot of animals and almost deticating there whole holliday to animal rescue, they thought they had witnessed enough! But they were wrong.On their way home to the hotel, they found this stray dog, with a missing leg. the leg had been cut off, probably by the trailway and it was still red, bloody and you could see the bone. They feared for the dog’s life and a local taxi driver took them, and the dog to a pet doctor. The doctor did not understand english so the taxi driver translated. The Doctor told my parents they would ambutate the leg and keep it for five days, then set it free. My parents were confused and fustrated, they were leaving the next day and were running out of time, so they agreed and left. The taxi driver told them he would pay for the operation, which my parents did not understand.
They have now returned to Denmark and they cant calm down, they worry bout the dog 24/7 and cant put the puzzelz together.
Now they are talking about adobting the dog and giving it a safe home. The only problem is, the taxi driver isn’t anserwing his phone, the doctor doesn’t speak English and we dont know the rules.
So my question is: do you think theres any chance they are helping the dog, that they are doing surgey on it?
and whats the possiblity for us adopting the dog? is it even possible and if yes, how?
please help us
Cindy
