Please meet our current adoptable dogs! All of our dogs are adult rescues.  We have a very wee mini-pin mix called Cooper, currently in foster care in the GTA.  Pheebee is a medium-to-large terrier mix that has just arrived and is settling in, please check out Facebook and Instagram for updates on her. She'll be posted here when she's ready for adoption. We have several adoptable dogs waiting for flights here and will be posting updates on them as they are available.  Please also check our Facebook and Instagram for the most current info on our rescue efforts, local Colombian and Toronto animal welfare initiatives.

For dogs that are still in Colombia, you must be able to cover travel costs to Toronto, including the flight, crate, an international medical certificate and any duties to be paid on arrival. We make the flight arrangements, complete all of the paperwork and pick up the dogs at the airport. These direct adoptions are suitable only for guardians/families with lots of dog experience and time to commit to the process. 

We are always looking for volunteers travelling to Colombia and back that are willing to help. It's pretty simple: someone from the rescue will meet you at the airport in Colombia with the dog, and when you land, one of our Canadian volunteers will be there to pick up the dog. The rescue covers all costs and provides the necessary paperwork for customs that indicates you are volunteering for a registered NFP. It's a great way to help a dog in need without a long-term commitment -- cargo flights are very expensive -- this makes it easier and more affordable for Canadian families to adopt one of these amazing mutts! Please contact us if you'd like to know more about how you can help.

A SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING ADOPTION FEES: The average cost to spay/neuter, vaccinate, transport each dog to Toronto and foster locally is around $1,200 per dog. The adoption fees we quote are the bare minimum we need to charge in order to continue our operations. We do our best to fund-raise the difference but as a small not-for-profit it’s not always possible. If you adopt from us and are happy with your adoption and are in a position to help we gratefully accept any additional amount you are able to provide so that we can continue helping more dogs find their forever homes.

Charmy's a true prince!

**ADOPTION PENDING** Charmy is a gorgeous Thai Ridgeback mix, rescued from a landfill in Thailand, he's a lover-boy that totally lives up to his name!


Charmy was rescued as a young pup, one of several in a litter and in an area where there are many dogs dumped and abandoned. He was a sickly little guy when he was first picked up by some kind and dedicated volunteers that visit this area regularly, to feed and rescue dogs. Charmy spent almost 2 years at a refuge in Koh Samui, looking for a forever home. He was hugely popular with the volunteers and tourists that visited because he's so friendly, happy and easy-going. Charmy recently arrived in Toronto with a kind flight volunteer, and he was a pro traveller on this long journey, it was worth it!

Charmy a truly fabulous guy! Super-smart, friendly, loves people, and gets along with other dogs. He'd be fine as an only dog, or with canine siblings. He's gentle and would be fine with dog-savvy kids that are 10+. Charmy has been tested with cats, he's not a good fit. Charmy is learning to walk nicely on a leash, he's still not entirely comfortable, and will need some basic training, but he's food motivated and biddable and is doing so well! He's a medium-energy dog, he likes a walk and a romp, but is happy to spend much of his day lounging on the couch, looking out the window.

Charmy weighs 16 kilos, he's about about 2 years old, and is truly striking, with a brindle coat, honey-coloured eyes, and that little ridge on his back. He is neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and has tested negative for heart worm and tick-borne diseases. He is also house trained, and crate-trained. Charmy is initially vocal when crated, but settles quickly, and can be left for several hours. A house with a fully-fenced yard for playtime and romping around would be the best fit for Prince Charmy.

Charmy's adoption fee is 700.00* He is being fostered in Toronto. If you think you are the family that can give this prince his happy ending, we would love nothing more than to hear from you!

Meet Cooper!

**Applications closed, thank you** Cooper is a dynamic Dachshund and Mini-Pin mix with personality plus! Cooper lived his whole life with a loving and responsible family in the GTA and due to unfortunate circumstances and through no fault of his own, finds himself in search of a forever family that will love him for the rest of his years.


Cooper is a real character: smart as a whip, with a wicked sense of humour and a lovely and engaging smile. He’s just turned 9, is healthy and tonnes of fun. He needs to lose some weight and is currently slimming. Coop loves his food, but he also loves to walk and be active and has already shed some of those excess pounds in his foster home, just through daily walks and portion control (he still gets treats, although he’s learning to like healthier options like baby carrots!). He’s a delightful and happy little guy, his foster mom says he’s a pretty easy dog.

Coop is neutered, micro-chipped, current on vaccinations and is on flea and tick preventatives. He has tested negative for heart worm and tick-borne diseases. He is house-trained (ZERO accidents in his foster home), will ask to go out when he needs to and can be left alone for several hours. He will rest quietly in his bed for a good part of the working day, so long as he’d had a morning walk.

As part of Cooper’s medical intake, he was given two separate blood panels at Beaches Animal Hospital and results show slightly elevated enzymes in the results. After discussions with our veterinarian the conclusion is that these findings could indicate something related to his liver or equally nothing at all. There is no significant concern and Cooper’s demeanour does not display any indication he is unwell. To the best of our knowledge, he is ok to join a new family and ready to begin a new life!

Cooper is searching for a family that will continue to work with him on his weight loss, which means daily walks and watching what he eats (he is allergic to chicken, so is on a limited-ingredient kibble that is easy to buy). He currently lives with another dog and a cat with no issues. He can be toy and food possessive, so an experienced owner is preferred. Cooper would be best in a home with no kids under the age of 12 for this reason. He can also be a bit reactive on leash around other dogs, but is super-smart and responds well to correction. He weighs about 28 lbs now an needs to lose about another 7-8 lbs.

When Cooper first came into rescue, it was clear that he missed his family a lot. This guy has come a long way in a few weeks and has shown us what a resilient and rewarding pup he is – and as a junior senior, we’re really hoping that he can find a loving and responsible forever family soon, he’s SO worth it. Cooper’s adoption fee is 500.00. He is available for adoption in the GTA. If you think you’re the right family for Coop, we’d love to hear from you!
