Learn More about the Adoption Process

Our adoption fee is $500 * Please note we have not yet changed the amount on the application form *  This includes transport, and all vetting, vaccinations DHPP+L+C and rabies, spay or neuter, worming, flea/tick prevention, dental cleaning if necessary, and any other procedures that may be required for individuals such as mange treatment, x-rays, orthopedics, etc.  We also do a blood test for ehrlichia, lyme disease, anaplasma, and heart worm.  You should submit an application for the dog you are interested in.  Most of our dogs have not been exposed to children or cats, and are not house trained, so you can expect to do some work in that regard.  We don't recommend our dogs for a home with toddlers.  Once application is received we will contact you if we feel you're a suitable candidate and request photos of your home and yard environment. We provide videos and more photos after you have been selected and we arrange for a travel date and pick up arrangements. 
We highly recommend a two-week trial period or fostering to adopt to ensure a good fit. 

Mex-Can Pet Partners
​Rescuing Dogs Since 2001
Help fly us home! 
Hola, dog lovers, we urgently need your help! My canine friends and I are desperate to fly from our shelter in Mexico to  homes in Canada this fall.  We are partnering with the non-profit Wings of Rescue and want to raise $15,000 for fuel and crates for them to fly us to Victoria, B.C. 
We are about 30 dogs that were abandoned on Guanajuato’s streets before Mex-Can Pet Partners brought us to safety. 
We want to get home. Please help us, gracias. 

JULIE

Female, 42k, 4y
Breed Guess: Great Dane

Julie is currently in a foster home in Sooke, B.C. where she's getting lots of attention and learning to adjust to a normal dog life. She is taking walks in the woods, pattering in the streams, playing with toys and getting exercise to help build up muscle - all things she was denied in Mexico, since she lived at the end of a chain in a rural community.  Today, she can enjoy the comfort of a warm bed, play with a soccer ball and get lots of human affection from her foster family.  Julie is also deaf, or mostly deaf.  She is receiving extensive dental work in January and will be ready for her new home after that.  If you have a spot in your heart for this big baby as well as space and time to commit to giving her walks and a budget for a yearly dental cleaning or preventative oral maintenance, please get in touch.  Julie awaits her forever home.  She'd probably do best as an only dog. However, she could probably live with a smaller, not tiny, male dog. Extensive write up on Julie by her foster family is available upon request.     

GRETA  Adopted

Female, 24k, 4y
Breed Guess: Golden Retriever

We heard about Greta (then known as Canela) in August 2020 when her owner was planning on tossing her to the street.  One of us went to meet Greta and immediately saw she had TVT (transmissible venereal tumour).  She came immediately to our shelter and her intravenous treatments were scheduled weekly until she was clear of the tumour.  During that period blood analysis was done, as well as a SNAP 4DX and she tested positive for ehrlichia.  She received antibiotics and injections.  She's now at a good weight and she's a happy go lucky girl looking for her forever home. Most recent blood panel is below. Please consult with your veterinarian before applying for Greta.  She will arrive in Victoria on December 20.    .

GABIN  
​

Male 18K, 4y
Breed Guess: Boxer/Belgian Shepherd/Pittie

This handsome fellow is currently at the Mex-Can shelter in Guanajuato and living peacefully with the other dogs.  He does show a bit too much interest, however, to other dogs on his walks, especially those behind fences that are barking at him.  He will therefore need some training with possible reactivity, a very common behaviour with dogs on leash.  He would be a good choice for someone looking for a home companion and active walker.  Gabin was found in Mexico City after being hit by a car and received surgery (femoral head ostectomy).  

RICKY  
​Application received and approved

Male, 30k, 5y
Breed Guess: Rotweiler X

Ricky was rescued by our friends at the Fundación Corazon Animal after being reported to be living on the street with a severely damaged leg.  He went to the veterinarian where his leg was amputated. As you can see in the video he is a friendly and playful boy. He would enjoy a moderately active home.  He has not been tested with children or cats.

HERSHEY 
Male, 20k, 2y
​Breed Guess:  Labrador X Pit Bull X


HisHershey is looking for a home with someone or a family that has some dog experience and is able/willing to follow up with socialization classes or pack walks led by a trainer, and with knowledge of dog language.  We do not encourage dog park visits.  
Preferably he would like to have a fenced yard  to hang out in with his owners in the summer, but not essential if he gets enough exercise.
A bit of history - He was born to a stray female dog and had a tough beginning being mistreated by children and was attacked severely by a pack of dogs. 
His rescuer is working hard to help him gain confidence so he can find the loving home he deserves.
