Please meet our current adoptable dogs! All of our dogs are adult rescues. Dove is now looking for her forever family! She's a 5-year-old Thai and terrier mix, she's about 25 kilos, and an absolute delight!   We are also expecting Chip (below), as well as 3 small-to-medium poodle mixes called Amada, Bebe and Solin, and a mini Schnauzer mix called Divina in May, so please check back for updates.  Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram accounts for the most current info on our adoptable dogs,  rescue efforts, and local Colombian animal welfare initiatives, including spay and neuter campaigns, and feeding, caring for street animals. 

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 now around $1,600 per dog.  Since the onset of  COVID-19, we have been relying primarily on cargo flights to bring any out-of-country dogs into rescue here, these flights are very expensive, and as a result we have increased our adoption fees to cover additional costs.  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.

This darling is Dove!

Dove is a striking 5-year-old wire-haired terrier mix searching for her forever home! Born in a shelter in Thailand, she spent her whole life there until flying to Toronto in March. She has since settled into her foster home and is ready to find her perfect family.


Dove has been spayed, micro-chipped, vaccinated, and tested negative in her 4DX and fecal samples. She is house-trained and crate trained and will happily rest while her foster family is out of the house. She does not have separation anxiety, nor does she bark excessively. She is good in the car and well-behaved at the vet. She is not leash reactive and has not exhibited any food guarding or resource guarding issues. As she is a terrier-mix, she is not suitable for those with allergies. Dove will be having a dental cleaning in June which will be covered by the rescue! Her new family must be willing to bring Dove to the vet.

Dove is a delight and is super playful, active, and puppy-like in many ways. At 25kg in weight, she can afford to lose a few pounds due to her prior shelter life, so long walks and a consistent exercise regime is ideal. Transitioning from a shelter to a big city can be intimidating, and Dove can be reserved around new people and may startle from loud noises. She is improving daily and is making good strides in building her confidence. A calm and patient household will do wonders in helping Dove flourish and become her best self. Experienced owners only please!

Due to her age, size, and shelter background, no cats or young kids; though older, dog-savvy kids could be fine. She is currently in foster care with another cat and has exhibited a prey drive towards him as well as squirrels and other small animals. Sharing her space with another dog could also be fine, provided the dog is easy-going and submissive. Dove is an alpha dog and likes to be in charge! A home with no other pups would be ideal but provided the resident dog is laid back it may work.

Dove’s adoption fee is $800.00. She is an awesome girl -- If you think you are a good match we would love to hear from you! Please complete the application form above and email it to us

Chip is simply Charming!

Chip was rescued with his mom Dallas and baby brother from a rural area in Colombia when he was a tiny pup.


The family that owned his mom was going to dispose of this little family in a very horrifying way, but thankfully, their plight was shared on social media, and a kind volunteer went to the farm to rescue them. Unfortunately, his brother was very ill and succumbed, but Chip and his mom Dallas survived, she's already been adopted happily in Toronto. Now, after so long looking for a forever family in Colombia, it's Chip's turn!

Chip is about 2.5 years old, he is a classic Colombian criollito, and looks to be a mix of shepherd, collie, terrier and who know what else? His mom Dallas is a mini Schnauzer mix. Chip is neutered, vaccinated, 4Dx negative. He is 102cm long, 72cm tall and weighs about 25 kilos, so he's a perfect, medium and sporty mix! He will receive a full Canadian vetting, new blood work, and will be micro-chipped in Canada prior to adoption. Chip will also be fostered locally prior to any adoption, so we can get to know him and find the best fit.

Chip is well known as part of the welcome wagon on Dra. Martha's farm. He's friendly and sociable, and pre-COVID, met many of our Canadian friends that visited. He lives and gets along well with other dogs, will be tested with cats when he arrives in Toronto. We'll be searching for a home without young kids, due to his size and exuberance, dog-savvy kids 12+ will likely be fine. Chip's adoption fee is 1200.00. Due to COVID restrictions, all Colombian dogs are travelling by cargo, which is a lot more expensive than with a flight volunteer. If you are in the GTA and think you are the one to give this charmer his happy ending, we would love to hear from you!
