Please meet our current adoptable dogs! All of our dogs are adult rescues.  Boris and Charmy are here, and ready for adoption!  We also have a Thai Ridgeback rescue called William, currently settling in and will be available shortly. In early March, we are expecting a small, female poodle mix. Please check our Facebook and Instagram for the most current 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.

Charmy's a true prince!

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, 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's 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'll 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. he's initially vocal when crated, but settles quickly, and can be left for several hour. 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* She 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!

This big guy is called Boris!

**ADOPTION PENDING** 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.
