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 erlichiosis, lyme disease, anaplasmosis, 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 expect to do some work in that regard.  In general, we do not  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 match is made. 
We ask that you consider thoroughly whether you are ready for a new canine companion in your household and ensure that everyone in the household is on the same page.  Our resources and time is limited, so we would prefer not to spend it checking out homes where all things have not been considered thoughtfully.  Thank you.

JAVA  Adoption Pending
Female + Breed Guess: Pit X Whippet + 17 Kilos + 1 year

Java is a slightly submissive, super playful and energetic dog looking for an active home.  We think she would do great with another dog in the home that is also playful.  Although Java can play nonstop, she can also settle nicely in her dog crate and will sleep through the night in it.  She will benefit from basic obedience and training to not pull on leash.  Java is a young dog with very nice personality just looking for the right home to give her exercise and structure.  

CHIQUIS 
Female + Breed Guess: Dachshund X Terrier + 12 kg. + 10 mo.

Work in progress! Chiquis is looking for a dog savvy home that can provide exercise and positive training.  She responds well to structure and boundaries.  She has proven to be a bit on the nippy side, that is, she likes to use her mouth and teeth when excited, such as jumping at hands and following your feet.  To this she responds well to redirection in the way of a "sit". We are also practicing impulse control with her.  Walks can be challenging as she likes to sniff at everything and has her nose to the ground most of the time.  She has not proven to be reactive to other dogs during walks. She is however, quite leery of strangers.  If you're looking for a cuddle-buddy and have the time and knowledge to take on a sweet, and smart, young dog, Chiquis is waiting for you.

BARBIE
Female + Breed Guess: Terrier X + 13 kg. + 10 mo.

Barbie is a sweet and very submissive young dog looking for a quiet home with someone who can provide her with the experiences and training to build confidence.  She is quite good on leash.  Sudden noises and movement may startle her and she goes into "pancake mode", which means flat to the ground. We do not think a home with children will suit Barbie.   A little encouragement brings her out of it. Treats are a good tool for Barbie. She is very food motivated.  Time and patience will be keys to helping this girl come along into her own.  She must be on leash always and a fenced yard is a must. 

TRANSPORT BLUES!   We've managed to work out transportation by various means, albeit quite costly. 
Our goal is to move six to eight dogs per month, either by air or land, or both.
DOGS BELOW ARE STILL IN MEXICO

VERA  Female + Breed Guess: Terrier X + 10 kg. +  4 yr.

Vera is a low to medium energy dog that was rescued as a stray in early May 2021.  She likes to be with her human and will follow you around most places. She gets along with cats.  She has not been tested with small children. 

RON   Male + Breed Guess: Schnauzer X + 12 kg. +  12 yr.

Ron is looking for someone home most of the day as he has some anxiety about being left alone. In that regard, he will not do well in a condo or apartment situation as he may bother the neighbours.  He mingles well with the other dogs at the shelter although he is not a playful dog.  He is more about you! His human!  Ron would benefit from a medium level of exercise and general obedience and leash training.

ROMITA Female + Looks like: Schnauzer X + 7 kg. +  4 yr.

Romita seems to be quite a spunky and friendly little girl. She was surrendered by her owner when Romita sustained a serious injury to her eye after being hit by a car.  That eye has now been removed and she is happily hanging around with the other dogs at the shelter in Guanajuato.
