Misty is close to one year old but acts like a puppy. She is full of energy and loves to play. 

These kittens are ready for a their furever home, one is male and one female.  They are about 3 months old.

BanDam getting walked by one of our wonderful volunteers.  Gentle 3 year old Pitbull mix. Very lovable, loves walks and really loves back rubs.

Patsy, is our blind girl.  She is sweet and lovable, but she needs a special home,  probably with no young children.  She is approximately 3-4 years old

Our new kennels are complete thanks to donations from Diamond Real Estate and special donations from the Champagne Brunch!!!! We sincerely thank you!!

More Dogs for Adoption

Below are some more beautiful furry friends just waiting for you to take them home...
  
Patsy, she is blind and would need a special home. She is very sweet and loving. She does need to get acquainted with new people slowly since she can not see.

Milsha, young female, black lab mix. A lot of energy and likes everyone.

 

Bingo, about 1 year old, male, smaller in size. Likes people but not sure of all other dogs. Very happy boy.
 

Cookie, about 1 year old, she is a small female. Very shy.  She was in a home that did not treat her with love.  So, she needs love and attention to show her not everyone is bad. Loves her walks. And loves to cuddle.

Chiquis,  is a small dog. This girl is very very sweet, and loves hugs. She would want a bed indoors to be close to her family.

Ban Dam,  He is a younger Pit Bull mix. This guy is very friendly and likes everyone. Because he is so strong, he needs training and probably no young children. Doesn't like all dogs, so one dog family for him.

Duguesa, is a younger, smaller girl. Very friendly, gentle and loves everyone.

Tabatta, is a very sweet girl. about 4 years old. She has a limp due to a past injury on her leg but it doesn't stop her. She likes quiet places and her inside bed. Loves to roll in the sun and have her belly rubbed. She doesn't like all dogs. Her perfect home would be with an older couple, no other dogs and Lots of Love!!

These are just a few of the wonderful dogs waiting at our shelter for their Forever Home. Please stop by the shelter for a doggie hug and lick....you might become addicted!!

New Adoptions

We have had some wonderful adoptions this week - we are so happy for these 'kids' and their new families: 

Update on 'Lady Sadie'

We just got this update from Sadie's new mom in Canada.  I think she is quite happy....what do you think? 

Before

 

 

 

When I returned home from Mexico in January, I saw a tv ad for "Big and Small Rescue". I contacted them when I returned to Mexico in April, and they were happy to help arrange foster and adoption. 

So the girls have been in Vancouver 2 weeks, and here's and "After" picture of Sadie.  A bit of a romp while we were at False Creek.  First video - Sadie is still just doing a circle around me as though she is tethered (she isn't)

Second video she catches on that she is freeeeeee!  So Cute! She really likes to run!

New dogs at the Shelter

Please click our DOGS tab to see all the wonderful, loving new dogs that have come to stay......maybe you have room in your heart and home for one of these special dogs!  Come in to see for yourself!

By the way, don't forget that we have many, many wonderful cats and kittens too.  They would love to be your 'baby' ....

I would personally like to thank Robyn for keeping me up to date on the comings and goings of our animals and for taking such wonderful photos that you see here.  Thanks Babe!

More on Carla and Sadie and the Twins..

Here they are at the Airport waiting too take off. Robyn is giving them time in the grass before take-off.   So far so good!  Love the one of the Pup rolling in the grass.  Not like a cage for sure.  You can tell from the photos how close Sadie and Carla really are.

By now they  have landed in Canada and en route to their new respective homes.  What a great day.  More to follow....

Off we go.....

The big day for Carla and Sadie....

The big day has finally arrived.  Carla, Sadie and two pups are on their way to Canada.  Below are some photos from the momentous day:

Carla and Sadie moving to Canada

After nearly three years as resident guests with Amigos de los Animales, Carla and Sadie are finally headed to forever homes.

This week they are being crate trained for the flight to Canada where they will meet their experienced foster dog parents.  Although initially in foster home settings it is highly likely that both will stay permanently.  Sadie is going to Vancouver while Carla will reside in Port Coquitlam.

Both will have nearly round-the-clock professional human companionship as they adjust to living "on the outside", learning to walk properly on a leash and the art of being housebroken.  It is also important to note that both will have frequent access to doggie day care centers for fun and socialization.

There are simply no adequate words to describe both the joy of seeing Carla and Sadie head home and the appreciation for those that are receiving them.

A very special acknowledgement goes to Holly Norris (bigandsmallrescue.com) who has coordinated this effort with ADLA and Lynn Draper who will take over the management of the girls adoption once they arrive in Canada and who will accompany the girls during their flight to Canada.  Both Holly and Lynn will work together to ensure a successful adoption for both.

Let's not forget either, the many volunteers and staff at ADLA over the last three years who never gave up hope that one day Carla and Sadie would find homes.  A job very well done!

When Carla and Sadie leave ADLA on May 1st. tears of joy will be flowing for sure.

Remember Carmela?

If you don't remember who this little darling is....she found a home in Canada not long ago.  We just received a note from her new mom - we wanted to share with you....

Hi there,

All is going well with Carmela, she is such a sweety, we are really enjoying her.
Carmela is very happy in her new home & my friends love her.

My son built a gate so we could leave her in the laundry room when we go out, well, we came home last night to her on the other side of the 4 foot gate looking back at us. She had scaled it and made herself comfortable in the living room. She has had no accidents since the first day so guess we can now leave her out when we go out .she is such a comedian. She has learned to sit before she gets her supper and get down and we are working on stay, she does it for a bit but not long. She is very smart . We have learned to ignore other dogs and not to bark when we see them so we walk everywhere which is great. We walk once in awhile with a Wheaton terrier which weights 50 lbs, a pretty big dog and they get along very well.
All in all we are very happy with her. Thanks for finding her for us.
Best wishes Sandra, Carmela's mom
