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, anaplasmosis, leishmaniasis and heart worm.  Please 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.

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

Cheeky little Chiquis is looking for a dog savvy home where she can continue with her basic obedience and learn boundaries.  She would benefit from plenty of exercise and may even be good at agility.  She can definitely jump high and squeeze through some interesting places.  Since her arrival in Canada she has made progress with leash walks, impulse control, come, sit and down. She is still very mouthy and we continue to work on that.   She is sometimes leery of strangers when they come to the home, but others she cuddles up to quickly.  She is playful with the other two dogs in her foster home.  She  will need a strong leader and is not recommended for a home with children or cats.  


The following dogs are still in Mexico. 
Several dogs are able to travel each month, so submit your application now.

 POLAR 
Female + Breed Guess:  Sheepdog X + 16 kg. +  1 yr.

Energetic, playful, friendly, rambunctious!  This girl is ready for a home willing and able to give her guidance to be the best dog she can be.  Recommended for an active home, probably not with children under 8.  She is social with other dogs, but has not yet been tested with cats.   
​

LIZZI Female+ Breed Guess: Schnauzer X Poodle + 9 kg. +  4yr.

Ready and rarin' to go, Lizzi is looking for a moderately active home. She would love to have walks daily and just be around her owner.  She was originally found on the street by her owner, but was given up to us due to a change in their living situation. She was living with two other dogs her size and children. At our shelter she is getting along well with the others, but it was mentioned to us that she can at times try to exert dominance.  She has not been tested with cats. ​

ALAMBRE  Male + Breed Guess: Terrier X + 6 kg. +  2 yr.

This little ball of fire is looking for a moderately active home in a secure home and yard.  Alambre thinks he's a cat and can show you he can jump as high as one! Alambre is a friendly and lovable young, small dog that also gets along with cats.  

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.  He is also on a special K/D diet .  Please request blood and urine analysis. Ron has also recently had a dental cleaning.
