Adopt / Foster

Find your match. Open your door.

Adopting or fostering a PVCA dog gives a rescued dog a second chance — and opens space at the sanctuary for another. Start by meeting our available dogs on Petfinder.

Adoption

Adopt a rescue

Consider adopting if you're looking to add to your family. We work mainly with SPCA PV and rescuers throughout Mexico to find the best match for every animal and every family. We support you through the transition and for life.

Fostering

Foster a rescue

Fostering is the most incredible way to contribute. When you foster one dog, another finds room at the sanctuary. Short-term stays — all expenses covered. You just supply the love.

Foster-to-adopt

Time to meet, then decide.

For those ultimately seeking to adopt but wanting a short period to meet the dog arriving from Mexico, we offer a foster-to-adopt programme. You would welcome the dog upon arrival from Mexico and spend up to 2 weeks with them before making a decision to adopt. During this window we pause advertising the pet.

If after 2 weeks you decide this pet isn’t the best fit, applicants agree to continue to foster the animal while we resume advertising to find a suitable placement. This is typically offered for animals arriving from Mexico who you may not otherwise have an opportunity to meet ahead of time.

Please check your spam folder for our response — replies often end up there.
