Please Note

All of our adoptions require a home check from one of our volunteers.

Therefore we only adopt out to Greater Vancouver (Lower Mainland) and Victoria.  Thank you.

Please read each dog's bio in its entirety to ensure your home meets the criteria for the dog BEFORE applying.

Rescue Story

Carol was rescued from a high kill shelter in Taiwan.  She’s great dogs of all kinds, people and extremely patient with kids. She’s easygoing, willing to please and housetrained.  She walks great on leash and knows the basic commands such as sit, down, stay, leave it and shake a paw.  Carol had a hip surgery and has recovered fully.  She walks and runs without hinder but not recommended to go up and down stairs or to exercise intensively.  We advise her diet to include glucosamine supplement to help her joints.  She’s one sweet dog and would be a perfect companion for a couch potato, family with kids, or a big dog lover who lives in an apartment.

If you are interested in adopting Carol please fill out an application. We will ask for pictures of your current pets (if any) and your house inside and outside upon receipt of your application.

Please consider Carol, for your new addition. There is a $300 adoption fee (bank deposit and e-transfer only) which goes to help cover only a portion of each dog's medical and transport expenses. A home check will also be required because we do want to be sure that each dog goes to an environment suited to them. Please note that we don't have shelter facility in Canada, so please consider carefully again before this adoption.
