About a Dog Rescue Society

Dog rescue in Vancouver, BC

Our rescue was started in October 2018 by Mike Edwards, Lisa McElheran and Dog Behaviorist Monika Herzig. We have worked together previously to rescue and rehome dogs decided to take our passion and create a group of our own.



Our dogs come from various backgrounds, some as simple as owner surrenders, and others coming from situations of neglect and abandonment. We currently work with an amazing rescue group in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and in the future we hope to pull dogs from overcrowded shelter systems in the USA and make connections to help dogs in other areas of Canada.



We are 100% non-profit and rely solely on donations. Every penny raised goes straight to the dogs. We do not have a shelter so we rely on a small group of wonderful volunteers and foster families to care for our dogs, conduct home visits, spread the word, and help us organize events.



We are a ethical, honest and transparent rescue, we would be happy to answer any and all of your questions
