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

Cotton and his brother Ryder were both strays in Taiwan.  A Good Samaritan fed them regularly.  Even though both dogs have a friendly temperament, there are lots of people who find strays intolerable and even abuse them.  One day Cotton was found with a severe burn injury below his neck on his back either with hot water or hot oil.  The Good Samaritan took Cotton to the animal hospital to receive proper medical attention.  Despite being abused, Cotton is not afraid of people and still believes the goodness in them.

Cotton's burn injury has healed with hair slowly growing back.  He’s otherwise in good health.  Cotton's brother, Ryder was sad after Cotton was taken away and refused to eat and drink for a couple of days.  We couldn't bear to leave Ryder on the streets so he has been placed in another foster home.  Both Cotton and Ryder are waiting for their own angel family to provide them a permanent safe haven.

If you are interested in adopting Cotton 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 note Cotton is part of our international rescue efforts and will be flown to the Lower Mainland (YVR) Vancouver International Airport on the next transport ONLY if a permanent home can be found beforehand.  Please consider Cotton, 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.
