Learn More about the Adoption Process

Our adoption fee is $600  *  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 photos after you have been selected and arrange 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. 

CHABELITA
Female, 16k, 1y
​Breed Guess:  Carolina X Pit x Whippet

This is Chabelita, a high-energy, agile, friendly and playful dog looking for an active home.  "Chabs" will definitely benefit from some basic obedience, lots of walking and hiking, and a structured lifestyle.  She has a high prey drive so no homes with cats will suit her.  In the home she is very quiet and snuggly. Outdoors she is all about play, run, play, run and will need some limits and boundaries set.  She can be a little too rough for tiny dogs.  If you have dog experience and are an active person or couple you might want to consider Chabelita. She is crate trained and does not seem to bark much.   

DANTE   Adoption pending

MALE 2years 4kilos
Breed Guess: Chihuahua

Dante is a springy, playful and very affectionate boy looking for a chihuahua-savvy home where he be loved up all day long. He has a difficult time being left alone, so probably someone home a lot would suit him best. He can live with other dogs but he has not been tested with cats. Dante is currently working on his house marking and it is helpful if he wears a belly band when in the home or is x-penned. He is a vocal little boy as well.    If you're looking for someone to follow you around all day long and snuggle up for naps Dante's your guy! 

CASHEW​  ​Adoption pending

MALE 1 year 6 kilos
Breed Guess: Chihuahua X

Charming little Cashew was abandoned on the street in Guanajuato, Mexico, along with who we think was his housemate, Pecan (now adopted).  Cashew's blood work was normal, however the SNAP test came back positive for anaplasmosis (transmitted by ticks) and he is now on treatment for that (doxycycline).  Cashew is a sweet, cuddly little fellow and playful with other small dogs.  He is reactive towards larger dogs however and will try to boss them around.  Feisty little fella!  He would suit a home perhaps with another small dog (no cats please) with someone home most days.  He likes his walks. He will require some fine tuning with house training, primarily marking in the home.  He currently wears a belly-band in the house just in case.

BENNY  Adoption pending
​

Male 6k, 3y
Breed Guess:  Chihuahua x Spaniel

Benny is an awesome little dog that would like a home with a moderately active family, with a fenced yard and some space to run and play.  He likes children, but is NOT good with cats.  He plays well with other dogs, big and smaller, he can learn easily as he is very eager to please. He sits for treats, is crate trained and loves to snuggle.  Benny's downside is that he still will mark in the home and therefore we are continuing with the belly-band when he is indoors.  

SALLY
ADOPTED

Female 3Y 8K
Breed Guess: Terrier X 

This is Saucy Sally and she is looking for an active home with someone experienced with terriers with a little attitude!  Sally is lovely and snuggly, affectionate and playful, and is a very noisy player in fact.  She likes to bark when she is playing which might be off putting for some people.  She has a bit of trouble with being left alone so she's do well with another playful dog in the home, and she is not suitable for an apartment or condo living.  
If you have time to show this sweet girl some manners she will reward you with much love.  

KORRA  ​ADOPTED!

Female 1y 18k
Breed Guess: Labrador X Boxer X Pointer

Korra is currently in a foster home in Vancouver, B.C. and looking for her forever home.  She is an explorer at heart and wants to meet everyone in sight. She enjoys playing fetch, tug and learning new tricks - she's learned sit, down, up, paw, and spin in both directions. Korra loves to cuddle as well. Korra is looking for a home with a fenced yard where she can play and burn some energy, as well as at least twice daily walks, runs or hikes. She has lots of energy.  She does have some leash frustration when seeing other dogs primarily because she so very much wants to meet them, so, she will need some guidance in that regard. She could do well with another more mature dog in the household to play with and keep her company. ​

TRANSPORT BLUES! 
Not all blue!  We've managed to work out transportation by various means, albeit quite costly. 
Our goal is to move six to eight dogs per month. We are also planning to partner with
Wings of Rescue for another 30-dog transport in the near future.  STAY TUNED!

BELOW DOGS ARE IN MEXICO.

DANTE

Male, 16k, 10m
Breed Guess:  Labrador X 

Dante has now moved over to the Mex-Can shelter in Guanajuato and co-existing with the other dogs there.  This fellow is a social, playful, friendly dog that had a good start in puppyhood due to the diligence and care of his rescuer.  He has been taught sit, down, stay, leave it and roll over.  Dante will suit a home possibly with another dog. He has not been tested with cats or children.  

AKIRA​  ​Adoption pending

Female 17k, 1y
Breed Guess:  Shepherd X 

GABIN  Adoption pending
​

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).

PATRICIO (PATO)
Male, 16k, 2y
​Adoption pending

Pato is a gorgeous boy with lots of energy and is friendly with other dogs.  He is a fairly nervous dog when it comes to humans (not aggressive) and definitely has a preference for female humans. He is very leery of men.  Pato would suit a home with another dog and will require some confidence building. Pato's urine analysis showed crystals and is therefore on a special diet.
