Meet Pita!
4 year old Pita is a happy, affectionate girl who loves being part of the action! She does wonderfully in all kinds of situations and is always ready for an adventure. She travels beautifully in the car and has no problem visiting busy public places.
Pita loves people, activity, and FOOD! She is very food-motivated and will happily follow her nose if something smells delicious. She is wonderful with children of all ages, but she gets so excited that she doesn’t always remember to keep all four paws on the floor — and her kisses come with enthusiasm! Because of this, she should be supervised around very young children.
On leash, Pita does well but needs occasional reminders to stay close. She is also comfortable in her crate.
Pita can be nervous when first greeting other dogs and doesn’t appreciate dogs getting loud or too much in her face. She may challenge them back, but with proper introductions, she does well with other dogs. She loves to play and would be fine with dog-savvy cats who don’t mind telling her when enough is enough!
A home with a securely fenced backyard would be ideal for Pita, giving her plenty of space to enjoy her love of activity and play. Because Pita can be vocal, an apartment or condo would not be suitable for her.
Pita is a loving, joyful girl looking for a family who will enjoy her enthusiasm, continue her training, and appreciate her big personality

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. ❤️
