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 is looking for her forever  family.  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 adoptable dogs,  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.

Meet Miss Pheebee!

**APPLICATIONS CLOSED** Pheebee is a 3-year-old, 23kg, striking wire-haired terrier mix on the hunt for her forever home. She is often stopped by people wanting to know her breed and will stare at you with the most deeply soulful eyes. To say she is beautiful is an understatement!


Hailing from Thailand and arriving in Toronto last month, Pheebee has lived most of her life in a shelter environment, a factor contributing to her need to lose a few pounds and increase her exercise regime. While she was cared for, she lacked much 1-1 individual attention and needs an experienced owner who will work on her timidity and reservation towards new people and places. She startles easily from loud noises or sudden movements, so a slow introduction to people and environments is best. That said, she is improving daily and gradually building her confidence! A calm and patient household will do wonders in helping Pheebee flourish and become her best self.

Once she feels safe, Pheebee is incredibly sweet and loves to snuggle. She will seek affection and attention and is loyal in return. She is quiet and rarely barks, making her suitable for an apartment/condo or home dwelling. She has expressed an interest in the cat she is being fostered with (unsurprising given her terrier mix!) so a home without any feline companions is essential. Kids are also new for her and due to her timid demeanour, we can only adopt to homes with children above 12 years. Another easy-going dog sibling could be suitable but Pheebee would likely do better as a solo pet as she likes being the center of attention.

Pheebee’s adoption fee is $700.00. She is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, 4DX negative, microchipped, spayed, and will have her teeth cleaned shortly. She is being fostered in the east end of Toronto and is available for adoption in the GTA only. She's healthy and happy and ready to begin her new life. Pheebee is a medium to low energy dog. This gorgeous girl has come a long way (both literally and figuratively) and looking for a place to call her own. We are looking for experienced guardians ONLY and those with the time, skill and commitment to work with Miss P to build her confidence through positive reinforcement, she is a long-term project. Please visit our website for an application. If you think you are a good match for this lovely lady, please apply

Meet Cooper!

**ADOPTION PENDING** 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!
