Dhana Metta Rescue Society

We are pleased to announce Dhana Metta Rescue Society as the next generation of animal rescue societies. We are a registered non-profit society, dedicated to small & medium dogs throughout Canada & the United States. Our focus in the U.S. are mostly natural disaster survivors, who unfortunately run out of time at the over crowded shelters.

Our hopes are not only to help abused, neglected, special needs and senior dogs/cats, but to also hold educational workshops for the public on:

a) The importance of proper training and care of domestic pets

b) How we can all help prevent pet over population by spaying and neutering

c) The negative effects of puppy/cat mills and back yard breeders

d) How working together can make a change in the regulations & laws regarding animal cruelty

As we continue to grow and establish ourselves, we hope to see rescue work as a communal endeavor. Each and every animal in need should receive help, from all of us. We will work together with other rescuers and shelters, all in the name of the animals.

To practice non-violent communication, peace, empathy, and compassion in our everyday lives and throughout our journey in animal rescue.

Rescue FAQs

Our rescue is located in BC's Lower Mainland and we have adopters all over the province.

Additional adoption info

Our goal as an animal rescue is to match the right dog with the right owner or family. To do this we ask for all interested adopters to complete a Dhana Metta Adoption Application (http://dhanametta.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/dhana-metta-adoption-app-fillable4.doc)

With this application we learn more about you and what kind of dog you are seeking, plus what personality would work for you. After your application has been received it will be reviewed and either be approved or disapproved based on the answers you have provided. Sometimes your application may not be approved for the particular dog you applied for, but could be approved for another dog that would be more suitable.

We are also very particular about having home visits done prior to a meet up with the dog of interest. All of our dogs for adoption are in foster homes, we do not have an open shelter system where one can pop by to see all the dogs. Appointments will need to be made with the foster homes after approval of your application and home visit.

Adoption fees range from $175 - $495.
