SHE’S A STAR 💫 🥹

✨ Lucky
📍 Mexico City
🐕 Pittie / Shar Pei mix
🎂 3.5 years old
⚖️ 63 lbs
🩷 Female

“Hiya! My name is LUCKY! I was found at the Mexico City Airport when the rescue team was there sending another pup to Canada. I was wandering in and out of the airport when my rescuers saw me. 😎

They put a crate on the floor for me and I walked right inside! It is believed that I once had a home because I already know how to walk on leash. I have been living at the shelter since August 2024 and am so ready to find my forever home! 🏡

I am a super sweet, loving, playful, and overall HAPPY girl. You can see from my photos and videos that I love affection - look at the pure joy and happiness in my eyes! I enjoy playing ball and loveee toys (everything from stuffies to bones). 🧸

I love to go on long walks with the volunteers at the shelter. After my walks, I like to nudge or “knock” at the door to come back inside and eat some food. I am playful and affectionate, even with strangers. I love to get pets and belly rubs! 🤗

I am friendly with other dogs at the shelter (my BFF was a male shnauzer mix named Stefano who has now been adopted)— we used to sleep in a kennel together at night until he was adopted. 🙊

I enjoy play time and lots of walkies with my trusted hoomans! Exercise is a must for me! Once I’ve had my daily mental and physical exercise, I’m sure I’ll be content to snooze, cuddle, and accept allll the belly rubs! 😉”

**NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS**

We have received an influx of applications for CHIA and need time to review/screen (we are volunteer run)! If we re-open her applications, we will let everyone interested know ☺️

CHIA GIRLS TIME TO SHINEEEEE ✨

✨ Chia
📍 Mexico City
🐕 Old English Sheepdog mix
🎂 3 years old
⚖️ 55 lbs
🩷 Female

“Hiya! My name is CHIA! My rescue story is all too common, I was found wandering the streets near Chalco, Mexico. At time of rescue I was suffering from a severe bit injury, I was in heat and overall in pretty rough shape. 😭

My rescuers think I had been used for breeding then discarded, who could do that to a sweet girl like me?! I was transported to the animal hospital where I stayed for 15-days recovering from my injury and gaining strength. Today, I am fully healed and ready to start living the beautiful life I deserve! 🙏🏼

Despite my rough start, my rescuer says I hold no grudges and have lots of love to give! It’s true! You could also say I’m a social butterfly! I get along well with humans and my fellow pups here at the shelter, even new people! I am a true cuddle bug and will politely offer you my paw for more attention hehe. 🙊

While I do enjoy to be fun and playful, my rescuer describes me as a chill pup who is deeply affectionate. I’m happy to just lounge and be loved! 💛

Another fun fact about me - my favorite treat is carrots! I eat in a communal space and show no signs of resource guarding. I’m a gentle gal in search of a loving family of my very own, as I have so much love to give! 🥕🥹”

DANNY BOY IS LOOKING FOR A HOME AFTER 1,278 DAYS OF WAITING 😭

✨ Danny
📍 Guadalajara
🐕 Lap Shepherd mix
🎂 8 years old
⚖️ 34 lbs
💙 Male

“Herroooo West Coast! I was rescued off the street in Mexico by a veterinarian here, and she made sure I was taken care of right away. My rescuer did say I was quite withdrawn at first, but that’s because I didn’t have a hooman to take care of me for so long. 🫶🏻

I was kinda sad and lonely which totally makes sense. I’ve been with my rescuer for 3.5 YEARS and still nobody has claimed me.. I think it’s because of my colour? Can’t be anything else because I’m a kind, sweet and chill boy. 😎

I am truly the best boy (seriously, everyone tells me so!). I am very calm and affectionate and really love being around my hoomans. I like to stay close to my people! When I greet a new hooman I like to bark! Just saying hellooooo 😉

Also... thunder storms kind of scare me and I rather hide while there is crazy rain outside. I’m a pretty independent boy but I am very affectionate and like being around my hoomans and will come up to you and ask for some snugs. 🤗”

SMILEY GUY ROCCO IS READY FOR A LOVING HOME 🏡

✨ Rocco
📍 Guadalajara
🐕 Staffordshire Terrier mix
🎂 6 years old
⚖️ 48 lbs
💙 Male

“My name’s Rocco and I’m a survivor! My first few years were marked by abandonment as I was left to fend for myself on the busy streets of Guadalajara, Mexico. I spent my days begging strangers for scaps and sipping from toilet bowls (an acquired taste). 😋

I was living a bustling gas station which was a rather dangerous environment for me to be in and I was found with several nasty lacerations on my body to prove it. When some kind souls finally rescued me from this perilous existence, my journey to healing began! 🙏🏼

Over the course of a year, my frail figure and broken soul slowly mended and I was able to pull off a great transformation - not just of the physical kind, but of my spirit as well! My exuberant and loving personality began to show and I started to reflect and return all the heartfelt affection of the people who gave me a second chance at life. My rescuers say my progress towards being the incredible pup I am today is testament to the healing power of love! 💝

I am verrrrry loving and deeply enjoy the company of humans. This also means I can be quite bouncy and energetic around people and I do well with boundaries to remind me that I can’t give you hugs ALL the time (dang!). 🤗

I play well with other dogs too although I can be reactive to some male dogs who try to dominate me and would do well with a family who is willing to work on this with me. Luckily for you, my foster family says I am very obedient, smart, and responsive to training...I’ve learned several commands in training school! 🤓

I am also the perfect mix of energetic/playful while outside and calm while at home. If you choose to add me to your life I will repay you 1000x with all the kisses and love in the world! 😘”

TWO YEARS AND COUNTING FOR SCOUT TO HAVE A “GOTCHA” DAY 😭

✨ Scout
📍 Mexico City
🐕 Lab mix (best guess!)
🎂 3 years old
⚖️ 58 lbs
🩷 Female

“Hiya! My name is SCOUT! When I was about a year old, my puppies and I were abandoned under a bridge near a busy highway. Quite the scary siutation for a new mom and her pups! Thank goodness a kind stranger found us and rushed to get help, but by the time he returned, my puppies were gone and I had been left behind to fend for myself. 😫

As just a young girl, I had already been through so much! Thankfully, I was brought to safety here at the shelter. Turns out I was malnourished and had scabies, but I was brave through it all! I received the medical treatment I needed, and now I’m healthy, healed, and ready for my fresh start! 🤗

I just adore affection from humans! I’ll let you know when I’m ready for some pets, or if I want to play! I’m even happy meeting new people! One of my favorite activities is playing ball, I like to hide the ball for my friends to find! While I’m generally a happy and playful gal, I am sometimes scared by loud noises. You know those emergency vehicles? I’m not a big fan of the sirens! 🤣

My rescuer says I’m a smart gal and can learn commands quickly. I enjoy play time and lots of walkies with my trusted humans! Exercise is a must for me! Now that I’m nice and healthy I also love treats, we get fruits, vegetables and even tortillas here at the shelter and sometimes I ever share! I’m a happy gal awaiting my forever family who will give me all the love, walks, and treats I deserve! 🙏🏼”

HAPPY NATIONAL RESCUE DOG DAY 🐾✨

We are so grateful to our community of adopters who have helped rescue a dog 🏘️

If you’re new here, you might be wondering ‘why adopt’? Well, we’ll tell ya!! 🫵🏻

IF YOU CHOOSE ADOPTION…
1️⃣ It means removing a dog from a shelter
2️⃣ It means you’ve now made space for that shelter to take in a new dog who needs them
3️⃣ It means you’re helping fund that shelter so they can keep feeding and providing care to the dogs
4️⃣ It means you’re bringing home a lifelong friend who will show you everlasting love
5️⃣ It means you’re giving a dog a second chance to learn what it’s like to just be a dog
💭 …and more

We have so many beautiful, smart, loving dogs looking for homes! 💛🙏🏼 Even if you don’t choose to adopt with us, just choose to ADOPT not shop ✨

TED’S ALWAYS READY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME 🤪

✨ Ted
📍 South Korea
🐕 Jindo/Akita mix (best guess!)
🎂 1 year old
⚖️ 27 lbs
💙 Male

“Hiya! I’m TED! I was rescued from Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea by some very kind humans! I entered the shelter as a young puppy and spent my early life growing up there. 💪🏻

While shelter life can be difficult for a young pup like me, I didn’t lose my friendly nature! I’m a very sociable guy who LOVES people, gets along well with other dogs, and has shown a kind, open personality to those around me. 🤗

I have a friendly, warm and affectionate temperament. I love spending time with people, and I REALLY love attention!! I am not a shy guy; in fact, I’m quite trusting and submissive despite my tough beginnings! I haven’t shown any biting or aggressive behaviour during my time at the shelter. 🏡

While I’m not unmanageable or overly intense, I am a young, healthy pup who needs daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to explore my new home! I would really enjoy a home where I can have regular outdoor time, a predictable routine, and positive interaction with my new family 💛”

**ADOPTED 💛**

DOES IT GET ANY CUTER?! 🥹💛

“Hiya! My name is RONI and I am a 6 month old female Jindo/Corgi mix weighing 15lbs (but still growing!) 😉

I was found alone on a golf course when I was just 3 months old. I was taken to a city pound and placed on the euthanasia list even though I was still a young puppy. 🤗

Thankfully, a rescue team found me in time and pulled me to safety! During my quarantine period, I battled a scary virus called Parvo – but don’t worry, I’m a strong and brave girl and I beat it! 💪🏻

I then spent a few months in a free-roam facility where I learned how to be a good girl around other dogs and now I’ve recently moved into my foster home. I’m now ready for the next adventure and can’t wait to find my furever home in Canada! 🍁

I’m an easy-going girl who falls in love with every new face I see! I absolutely adore both humans and other dogs. I’m a brave girl who isn’t afraid of new adventures, so bring on the fun! I am looking for an adopter who is cool with “all things puppy” and teaching me how to be the bestest gal I can be. Puppies need guidance, leadership, and lotsa patience! 🙏🏼

I sure do hope you can be this person for me!!! 💛 “

THREE YEARS LATER AND RABITO IS STILL LOOKING FOR HIS FUREVER HOME (AND HE’S AVAILABLE FOR MEET AND GREETS!) 😭💛

🐾 Rabito (“Little Tail”)
📍 North Vancouver, BC�🐕 Lab Mix�🎂 3 years old�⚖️ 53 lbs�💙 Male

“Hola! My name is Rabito and I’m looking for my forever family. I’m originally from Mexico City, and my story started a little tough. My siblings and I were found as tiny puppies on the streets without our mama. We were hungry, scared, and very skinny… but kind rescuers saved us just in time! 🙏🏼

Since then, I’ve spent almost THREE YEARS waiting and watching other dogs find their forever homes while hoping my turn would come. And guess what? This April, I finally got my chance to come to NORTH VANCOUVER to stay with an amazing foster mama while I wait for my happily ever after! 🪄

So far, I’ve been a brave boy. I flew all the way from Mexico, settled into my foster home, and have already been on adventures to cafés, restaurants, the beach, and lots of neighbourhood walks. 🏡

Here are some things my foster mama says about me:
🐾 I’m the sweetest boy and love affection, pets, and scritches�🐾 I sleep happily on my dog bed or in my crate�🐾 I’m medium energy — I love adventures, walks, and exploring, but I’m also very happy to cuddle and nap nearby�🐾 I’m gentle and submissive with other dogs (more of a polite “hello and carry on” kind of guy)�🐾 I’m not super food motivated… sometimes I bounce excitedly when food comes out, then go “psych!” and eat later 😄�🐾 I’m curious about the world (including kitty pals on TV)

I can be a little shy when meeting new people, especially men, but once I know I’m safe, my loving personality shines through. I’m looking for kind, patient humans who will give me a little time to settle in and help me keep building my confidence. 💪🏻

I dream about a cozy home, daily walks, belly rubs, and humans to love with my whole heart. I’ve waited a long time for my family… maybe it’s you? Could we be each other’s perfect match? ❤️”

RABITO is available for MEET AND GREETS! DM us or fill out an application to meet our sweet man!!!

COMING TO A CANADA SHORE NEAR YOU 🫵🏻

“Hello! My name is SNOOKI and I am a 1 year old Terrier/Lab Mix weighing 31lbs. 🧚

My story began in the south of Mexico City, when I was a teeny tiny puppy! On the last day of school before summer vacation, I snuck into the schoolyard to watch the kids play. Sadly, when class ended, I was left all alone and had nowhere to go but back to the streets. ☹️

Thankfully, a kind teacher came to the rescue and picked me up! I’ve been at the my foster home since then and now that I’m fully grown, I’m ready for my forever home! 🏡

My friends at the foster home say I am playful, respectful, and veryyyy affectionate – what can I say, I’m just a big ol’ ball of love! I absolutely love getting all the pets from people I’m comfy with. I can be a little shy upon first introductions to new people, but with love, patience, and yummy treats, I warm up pretty quickly! 🙏🏼

I’m still a young gal with a good amount of energy. I love a good play sesh and walkie, but after some activity, I am game for a snooze and cuddle! 😉

I’m looking for a loving home where I can get plenty of cuddles and be deeply loved, like I so deserve! 🤗”
