Please meet our current adoptable dogs! All of our dogs are adult rescues.  Carina has arrived and is now ready for adoption!  We are expecting Boris in early 2020, and some further new additions. Please check our Facebook and Instagram for more info on our rescue efforts, local Colombian animal welfare initiatives, and check back here for updates on adoptable Canadian pups! 

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.

Carina's a cutie!

**Please note that due to a large number of applications, we are not accepting further applications at this time, thank you.** Meet Carina, she's a a adorably scruffy, wire-haired terrier mix, rescued from the street in Soacha where she was living life as a street dog.


When she was rescued, Carina looked a bit rough, she was underweight, filthy, and sad. She was picked up by one of the very kind and dedicated Colombian volunteers that works with our organization to rescue dogs from the street, and to feed and sterilize dogs that are still living out there. She took Carina in, she was vetted, spayed, and most of all, got good food and TLC. Carina recently arrived in Toronto after travelling here in the cabin of the plane with a kind flight volunteer, and she was a pro traveller!

Carina a truly fabulous, adolescent pup! Smart as a whip, she already knows her basic commands, she loves to give her paw to everyone she meets in exchange for a "Good girl, Carina!" She's super-social and affectionate with humans, and other canines, she loves to play -- wrestling, fetch, tag, you name it -- and she loves, loves, loves her toys.

Carina weighs 7.5 kilos, she's about about 16 months, with the most gorgeous, intelligent honey-coloured eyes, a cheeky button nose, and a sporty terrier build. She has been spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and tested negative for heart worm and tick-borne diseases. She is also house trained. Her foster mom says she's a bit timid around new men, but with proper introductions, she warms up quickly (see above re: paw!), then she's your best friend. She needs LOTS of physical activity and playtime. She'd be fine with canine siblings! She has been tested with cats, and she'd do best in a home without them. Dog-savvy kids 10+ would be a great fit for this busy girl, they can tire each other out! Carina is working on her leash skills, she'll need some basic obedience training, and thrives on lots of interaction. She can be left at home unattended for several hours, but she's initially vocal. A house with a fully-fenced yard for playtime and romping around would be the best fit for this doll.

Carina's adoption fee is 600.00* She is being fostered in Toronto. If you think you are the family that can give this cutie her happy ending, we would love nothing more than to hear from you!

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 700.00.* Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about this deserving dog and the adoption process.
