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

As a two-month-old puppy Gaga along with his twin brother was abandoned at a high kill shelter in Taiwan: http://www.savedogs.org/forum/article_view.html?f_no=33382

Gaga can climb and jump very high.  He needs a forever loving family who can provide him plenty of exercise and basic obedience training.  He also needs some chew toys to keep him rightly occupied.  Gaga has separation anxiety: he wants to be around people or other dogs at all times.  If he’s left alone he would continue to whine until someone shows up so apartment/condo residence are not suitable.  He is a sweet and gentle furry companion looking for a structured home where he can build some confidence.

If you are interested in adopting Gaga 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 Gaga, for your new addition. There is a $450 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.
