Hi I run a dog shelter in the mountains behind Rio. We are now working together with a Canadian rescue who will foster some of the many strays that we have saved here and find them good permanent homes in Canada. We have previously sent several dogs to Canada and they all found marvellous homes. We can send the dogs unaccompanied as cargo, but it is far cheaper to send them accompanied. We are looking for Canadians and Americans as we have a foster in the USA too who are travelling back from the Rio area to be travel company for our dogs. It actually doesn't involve much on the traveller's side. We do all the paperwork and once the travellers and dog land in Canada there will be our rescue partners waiting to take the dog as soon as the Canadian authorities release the dog to the traveller. We are an official registered ONG here in Brazil as are our Canadian helpers in Canada. So if you would like to do a good turn and help some of the street dogs here to live their lives as they should then please contact me. You can email me at [email protected] or visit www.dogsinbrazil.org we are also on FB.
