Meet 4 year old Ares who is being fostered in the Ottawa area.

Ares is the sweetest cuddle bug who learns to trust incredibly fast. He’ll melt your heart each morning by gently “petting” you awake, tail wagging with excitement. Though shy at first, once he bonds with you, he’ll want to be by your side through everything.

He’s a happy, curious boy who loves life—whether it’s zoomies, exploring new smells, or sneaking in kisses for attention. His adorable hoarse bark (that turns into little squeaks!) only adds to his charm.

Ares enjoys a couple of short daily walks, time to sniff and explore, and relaxing beside his people. He loves being included in everyday life and is happiest when he’s part of the action. He is crate trained, house trained and best with children 14+

Ares requires a patient, loving home with a fenced backyard (no apartments or condos). With time and support, he will blossom into a deeply loyal companion who will love you fiercely.

FAQ

What is the process to adopt?

First, you’ll fill out an adoption application so we can get to know you, your family, and what you’re looking for in a dog. If it looks like a good fit, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet. From there, if everyone feels it’s the right match, we’ll move ahead with an adoption agreement and fee. We’re here to support you through the whole process.

How much does it cost to adopt?

Our adoption fees usually range from $450 to 600, depending on the dog’s age and needs. This helps cover things like vaccinations, spay/neuter, vet care, rehabilitation, and travel costs to Canada.

What if the dog I adopt doesn’t work out?

We always want our dogs and adopters to be happy together. If you’re unsure, fostering first can be a great way to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. We truly believe dogs are family for life, but if something serious comes up, we will always take our dogs back into the rescue.

Why do you bring dogs from Playa del Carmen, Mexico? Aren’t there enough homeless dogs in Canada?

Although we do rescue dogs in Canada, we also partner with our sister rescue, SOS El Arca, in Playa del Carmen, where the need is heartbreaking.
Dogs there often live on the streets, without food, shelter, or medical care, and many suffer from abuse or neglect.
In Canada, most shelter dogs at least have safety, food, and a roof over their heads. By working together, we’re able to give these dogs a chance at life while also helping locally when we can.

Other ways to help?

Adoption isn’t the only way to change a dog’s life. You can help by:

-Fostering a dog and giving them a safe place to land.
-Donating to help cover medical care, food, and transport.
-Sponsoring a dog in need if you can’t foster or adopt.
- Offering transportation to and from their locations.
-Volunteering your time and skills, from event support to home checks.
-Sharing our posts and stories on social media to help dogs find their forever homes.

Every little bit makes a huge difference, and we’re so grateful for our amazing community of supporters. ❤️
