Please meet our current adoptable dogs! All of our dogs are adult rescues.  Teddy the terrier and little Emma have just arrived, they are settling into their foster homes and are available for adoption in the GTHA. 

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.

Adorable Emma!

**Due to a large number of applications, we are nor accepting further applications for Emma at this time.** Emma is a super-sweet pup looking for her forever home! Em was picked up as a stray in Soacha, which is a suburb of Bogota with MANY abandoned and homeless animals. She's adorable, clever and resilient. She arrived in mid-October. We are so happy to have her!


Emma is a young Schnauzer mix, approximately 18 months old. She's solid but petite at 8 kilos and is 35 centimetres tall and 45 centimetres long. She's everything you want in a dog -- she walks well on a leash and is house-trained and smart. She can be a little timid with new people but is a friendly and happy pup that quickly warms up! her foster mom says she is learning the ropes and growing in confidence each day. Though we cannot represent her as hypoallergenic, she doesn’t shed and should be suitable for people with mild allergies. She is good with other dogs and is being fostered with 4 pups without issue, so she would be fine both as a single dog or second pet; she also lived with a cat in her previous foster home in Colombia with no issues. Her foster mom says she doesn’t have separation anxiety, but she’s always around other dogs and she does become quickly attached to her person. Given her young age and traumatic background, ideally we are looking for a home where she will not be left alone for more than 6 hours most days. Additionally, she has never been tested children, though kids who are old enough to be respectful of space and dog cues should be fine.

Emma is being fostered in the St. Catherines area, and is spayed, micro-chipped, negative for heart worm and tick-borne diseases and up to date with all her vaccinations. She is truly a fabulous dog. Her adoption fee is $750. If you are interested in her adoption please submit an adoption application form, available at the top of this page. We look forward to hearing from you!

Meet Chloe -- a veritable dog funhouse packaged into a petite 12lb frame!

They broke the mold when she was made and we’re searching for a home equipped to handle all the cuteness she offers.


A mix of poodle and chihuahua, Chloe was rescued from the streets of Subachoque while in heat and pursued by several male dogs. She was taken to a farm where she was fostered and flourished until brought to Toronto in August. Confident, quirky and curious, she’s settled into her new life without any issues and with all the gusto of a champion.


Despite her small stature, Chloe has a big personality. She is happy and outgoing, kind of goofy and still puppy-like in many ways. She’s likely between 1-2 years of age and has tons of energy and playfulness to go around. She LOVES people but her confidence means she is selective around the dogs she befriends. No cats please, as she will relentlessly pursue them. Older dog savvy children are fine, especially if they are also high energy – they can tire each other out! Chloe is what you consider a real dog; she’s no shrinking violet or furniture backdrop. She wants to play, wants you to engage with her and wants all your loving attention! She’s learning to walk nicely on a leash and could benefit from obedience training. But we guarantee what you invest in her will get you 10x the return. She is whip smart, sassy, super affectionate and an all-around charming girl.

Chloe’s adoption fee is $550.00.She is house-trained, sterilized, vaccinated, micro-chipped and tested negative for heart worm and tick-borne diseases. Please complete an adoption application form from our site if you’re interested in learning more about her!

Ted's a treasure!

Teddy was born on our rescue vet Dra. Martha's farm in early January of 2018. His mom Holly was picked up on the street on Christmas Night 2017 as a stray -- filthy, thin, alone and heavily pregnant. Ted is one of her pups. His mom and his brother have already been happily adopted in Canada, another sib has been adopted in Bogota -- now, it's Ted's turn!


Teddy has just arrived in T.O and is an is adorable and affectionate scruff-bucket. He's an active and typical terrier and will be 2 years old in early January, 2020. He needs lots of physical activity, mental stimulation -- and he'll also need some basic obedience training. He 48 centimetres tall and 55 centimetres long and weighs a solid 9.5 kilos -- he's a perfect, medium-sized pup with long legs and an a sporty build.

He's neutered, vaccinated and house-trained. He LOVED romping in the mountains around the farm and playing with the other pups; he tends to be submissive with other dogs. He is timid with new people and quite fearful, but once he warms up to you, he's affectionate and snuggly -- he is truly a kind and gentle pup with soft and soulful brown eyes. He needs an experienced guardian that will work with him to build his confidence through positive reinforcement. He's very quiet and rarely barks. He has been tested with cats and because of his very gentle nature, he seems fine with them. He has not been tested with young kids, he'd do best in a quiet home with an experienced guardian and without them. Teddy is a beautiful and exceptional guy that is just looking for someone to love!

Teddy is in foster care in Toronto, he will be vetted locally, including a SNAP 4Dx Test for vector-borne diseases, he will also be micro-chipped. His adoption fee is 700.00. Please contact us if you'd like to know more about Ted and the adoption process.

This big guy is called Boris!

Boris and his brother were rescued from a bad situation. They're great guys and his brother has found a home in Colombia, but no one has been interested in big Boris, which is a real shame because he's a gorgeous and very kind dog.


Boris is a friendly and intelligent hound mix with piercing amber eyes and a big heart. He was rescued about a year ago from neglect and life on a chain in a backyard with no human contact or kindness. But in a testament to his kind nature and resilience, he has blossomed in foster care. He's currently living in a doggie daycare just outside of Bogota that is being paid for by his rescuers.

Boris is now about 2 years old and is about 18 kilos. He's house-trained, neutered and current on all of his vaccinations. He will be micro-chipped upon arrival in Canada. Boris is the official "welcome wagon" at his doggie daycare and is often used to welcome new dogs into the group because he is calm and sociable and a very friendly guy.

He has not been tested with cats or young children, so we're searching for a home without them. Older, dog-savvy kids kids would be great for Boris. as he has spent time with them and loves to play and romp around

Boris is still in Colombia and hoping for a forever family. The cost to bring him to Canada is about $850.00.* Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about this deserving dog and the adoption process.
