My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Brownie is a case of not being born in the right place or time, she would have been a nanny dog or a war hero in an earlier time or had she been born here in Canada to being with, hopefully would have spent her whole life up to now in a loving home. That unfortunately was not the case for sweet Brownie who is a Pit Bull and has been at the shelter in Mexico most of her life and is now about 8 years old. Despite not having the best of luck on the family front, she has made so many friends living at the shelter! She loves being around anyone and gets along great with dogs, cats and children! She is a tough cookie though so she tends to be dominant with other dogs but also is very playful and social! She was found on the streets with severe malnutrition and nursed back to health at the shelter where she’s been ever since. She is a sweet pit bull mix and smiles to show you how happy she is to be near you! Unfortunately, it’s not easy for large breed dogs to find a home in Mexico so amazing dogs like this spend most of their lives in shelters being overlooked when they are the most wonderful pets and family members!

Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things!

Brownie est un cas de ne pas être née au bon endroit ou au bon moment, elle aurait été une chienne gardienne ou un héros de guerre à une époque antérieure ou si elle était née ici au Canada pour être avec, j'espère qu'elle aurait passé toute sa vie jusqu'à maintenant dans un foyer aimant. Ce n'était malheureusement pas le cas pour douce Brownie qui est un Pit Bull de 8 ans et a passé la majeure partie de sa vie au refuge au Mexique. Bien qu'elle n'ait pas la meilleure des chances sur le plan familial, elle s'est fait tellement d'amis qui vivent au refuge ! Elle aime être avec tout le monde et s'entend très bien avec les chiens, les chats et les enfants ! C'est une dure à cuire, donc elle a tendance à être dominante avec les autres chiens, mais elle est aussi très joueuse et sociale ! Elle a été retrouvée dans la rue avec une malnutrition sévère et a été soignée dans le refuge où elle se trouve depuis. C'est un doux mélange de pitbull et sourit pour vous montrer à quel point elle est heureuse d'être près de vous ! Malheureusement, il n'est pas facile pour les chiens de grande race de trouver un foyer au Mexique, alors des chiens incroyables comme celui-ci passe la majeure partie de leur vie dans des refuges en étant négligés alors qu'ils sont les plus merveilleux animaux de compagnie et membres de la famille !


Parfois, un chien prend plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous pouvez le voir montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines ou même mois ! Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu'ils ont traversé avant d'être secourus, mais ils sont pleins d'amour et pardonne tout et cela vaut chaque moment difficile à la fin. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, patience, renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes !

Additional adoption info

We do regular follow ups and virtual home visits before the family meet the dog. :)

Go meet their pets

We are presently foster based so the meetings will take place where the dogs are being kept and that way the potential family can also discuss the good and bad habits of that dog to see if it's the right fit. The families need to be willing to work on a behaviour if it needs work and to provide the appropriate time and patience for the dog to accllimate to it's new home!

More about this rescue

We are a small shelter with lots of experience with dogs and rescuing. I worked for a larger shelter in the past but didn't always appreciate the way things were handled so I decided to branch out in a smaller scale but with all of the wonderful contacts and information that I've learned in the past decade + of doing rescue! Dogs are my passion and I would love to place as many as possible in their loving, furever homes!
