Ocean Dog Rescue's adoption process

This fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, Vet (some of the dogs need special treatment or surgery) cage, transportation and air ticket (most of our rescue dogs are from Taiwan and must transport here by more than 12hours flight) Adoption fees also help to offset the expenses incurred in rescue.

About Ocean Dog Rescue

Ocean Dog Rescue is a non for profit organization. We are a group of dedicated volunteers who love animals and have joined together to help rescue, provide medical care, rehabilitate and re-home abused, abandoned, homeless animals such like stray dogs from Taiwan and look for their forever home in BC Canada which we call Overseas Cross-Ocean Adoption Program. That's the reason why where our organization's name Ocean Dog Rescue came from.
we really need your help to offer your kindly hands to Taiwanese dogs, even there is only a few chances for our rescue dogs, we will be very much appreciated.

Many times we rescue animals (primarily dogs) that have found themselves unwanted or were having physically abused by human (dog abuse is widespread in this country), stray/live on the street facing very dangerous and difficult life everyday or lost in over-crowded shelters and facing death row.

All animals that come through Ocean Dog Rescue are examined by our veterinarians prior to placing them in temporary foster homes in Taiwan or in Vancouver (only few). Placing our animals in temporary foster care, allows Ocean Dog Rescue time to assess each animal's individuals needs. It also allows the animal time to adapt to his/her new environment and receive any attention he/she requires such as training and socializing. With this, Ocean Dog Rescue is more able to re-home the animal ensuring the best match for both the animal and his/her human companion.

All of our rescued dogs had been altered/spayed, up to date on vaccinations, a micro-chipped, a collar with a rescue ID tag (must on forever) and all the paperwork as well as medical certificate will go with the dog. We always make sure our dogs are health enough and only send dogs that are in very good health condition for long flight.

We look for homes where our dogs will become family members, companions. All prospective adopters must commit to the mental and physical well being of their new family member, by providing food, water, appropriate time, training, shelter, grooming, exercise, veterinary care as needed and of course LOVE.

Ocean Dog Rescue is run 100% by volunteers. We do not have a shelter facility to visit. All our rescues are immediately placed into loving foster homes in Taiwan or Vancouver and cared for in the home until suitable families/companions are found.

Our adoption program also help local dog rescue.

Please DO NOT BUY a dog from a pet store or animal broker as the money you pay SUPPORTS puppy mills. The cute little puppies being sold at pet stores are most likely mill dogs. Don't turn a blind eye while homeless pets die! ADOPT FROM A SHELTER OR RESCUE GROUP near you!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
