Great news this afternoon. Our youngest puppies, Zara and Zuri went to their forever home.
It's a lovely home with a walled garden so they will have a lot of space to play. And the best thing is they will always be together.
It's a really good idea to get two dogs as opposed to one as they have another dog to play with and for company.  This reduces separation anxiety and excessive barking when they are alone.

We have some really good news! Brody, one of our long term adult dogs was adopted on 27 December 2023.
Brody has adapted well. He's such a good natured dog and a huge "people dog". He loves attention and walks.
He was adopted by Chris and his family.
Thanks so much Chris, James and Jesse for choosing to adopt and not buy.  We would love to have more adoptions this year. Please message if you think you can give a good home to one or more of our dogs.

We had two adoptions today by a wonderful man called Kristian.  He adopted two of our puppies Blaze and Scooby.  Kristian lives 5 hours away and has the means no doubt to buy from a breeder but he wanted to do his part in the aim for zero strays and adopt from us.
Scooby and Blaze will be living on a three hectare farm.
Thanks so much Kristian for adopting from us.
Our shelter population is slowly coming down to more manageable levels, which means we will be able to rescue more dogs soon.

There are still many more dogs of all ages waiting their turn.  Check out Our Puppies or Our Dogs pages for details and message us!

We have some amazing news! Another of our rescues is going to live overseas - this time in Italy!!
A lovely lady came to visit us to choose a dog to take with her when she returns home to Italy in June. Her name is Elisa and she has been volunteering at the orphanage.  She chose Jane.


This will bring us to a total of 10 dogs living overseas.
- Matty, Ophelia and River in the US

- Judy and Teresa in the UK
- Heffa in Sweden
- Tula and Olaf in Belgium
- Rusty in Canada.

Its not too difficult to take a dog overseas:


1. First get a rabies booster shot and microchip


2. 29 days later you take a blood sample and send to a lab in US ( facilitated by Animal Wellness vet clinic here in Dumaguete) - this costs 23000 pesos ( just over 400 USD)


3. Complete the paper work and find a pet friendly  airline. The dog has to travel in the hold but the cost is usually just excess baggage if you or another person accompanies the dog.


Our wishlist for 2024 includes having a lot more overseas adoptions.


Good luck Jane and thanks so much Elisa for making such a great effort to help our rescues.
