Born in December 2024 and rescued just weeks later from La Desembocada Place (yep, the spot near the jail—talk about a dramatic origin story), Balam was part of the legendary Bella litter: eight squishy pups and one brave mama who beat the odds. Balam's siblings are: Bali, Been, Bimbo, Biri, Boni, Brisa & Bruno. On January 7, 2025, their freedom ride began—and Balam’s been vibing ever since. This boy is pure sunshine with a side of wiggle. Happy? Always. Active? You bet. Excited to meet you? Like, tail-thumping, tongue-flopping excited. Balam’s got that “life is a party and you’re invited” energy that makes every hello feel like a confetti cannon. He’s been living in an outdoor shelter with a whole crew of canine comrades, so he’s still learning the fine art of one-on-one human time. But give him a little patience and a lot of love, and he’ll be your funky sidekick in no time. Ready to boogie through life with a pup who’s got rhythm, resilience, and ridiculous charm? Balam’s waiting to bust out of the shelter and into your heart. 🕺🐾

Been was born in December 2024, but her story really kicked off in January when she and her seven siblings were rescued alongside their brave mama Bella from La Desembocada Place—a place near the jail, but don’t worry, Been’s only crime was being too cute for the streets. Her siblings are: Balam, Bali, Bimbo, Biri, Boni, Brisa & Bruno. From isolation to vaccination, Been’s come a long way. She’s a medium-energy marvel with a heart full of curiosity and a tail that can’t help but wag when people come near. She’s got that “let’s go on an adventure!” vibe, whether it’s chasing butterflies or learning how to chill on a couch (she’s still figuring out the whole house life thing, but she’s game!). Been’s lived in an outdoor shelter surrounded by a lively pack, so she’s used to the hustle and bustle—but what she really craves now is some one-on-one time with a human who’ll help her discover the joys of home, snuggles, and maybe a squeaky toy or two.

If you’re looking for a beautiful buddy who’s ready to learn, love, and laugh her way into your life, Been’s your girl. She’s got the bounce, the brightness, and the backstory—now she just needs the forever.

🐾 Hi, I’m Chilindrina—Chili if you like nicknames! 🐾

My rescue story began when I was left at the gate of a shelter, wide‑eyed and hoping someone would notice me. Since then, I’ve been waiting patiently for my forever family. On April 21, 2026, I finally got a taste of home life when I moved into a foster home. I’m learning what it feels like to be loved, cared for, and part of a family—and I’m soaking it all up! I was born around June 2021, and I’ve grown into a sweet, affectionate girl with a playful side. I walk nicely on leash, love my daily outings, and I’m happiest when I can lean into your side for cuddles. I’m gentle and kind, though I can be a little sneaky when it comes to food—it’s hard to resist! My fosters say I’m cuddly, sweet, super goofy, and I make them laugh all the time. They’re really glad I’m here with them, and they’re helping me overcome my fear of bigger dogs. I was attacked by larger dogs before, so I’m learning to trust again—but I’m making progress! Just the other day I didn’t even notice them around, I was too busy happily exploring and sniffing. I’d be perfectly happy as your one‑and‑only dog, or I could share my home with other small dogs who enjoy a calm life. Cats, though? No thank you—I’d rather not have them as roommates. I’m not the most outgoing pup at first, but once I trust you, I blossom into a loving companion who soaks up affection like sunshine. I’m a good dog—sweet, a little silly, and very deserving of a second chance.

Approx. D.O.B. January 2021. When Daysi was found she had milk and the rescuer was worried there were puppies out there. Two people from the rescue took Daysi back to where she was rescued on a long leash and followed her. She took them straight to her house in Jarretaderas to her 9 puppies (puppies are: Rizzo, Ringo, Robert, Rossy, Ruth, Rony, Rita, Romy and 1 more that unfortunately had died). They had a home but it was unfortunately a home where no care and necessities were provided. They were living in the middle of garbage. Daysi is still waiting for her own happy ending. She’s a natural-born leader with a zest for life and a tail that never stops wagging. She walks with purpose, plays with joy, and greets each day like it’s an adventure waiting to happen. She’s affectionate, noble, and—let’s be honest—absolutely gorgeous. Daysi takes her time warming up to new doggy friends, but once she’s comfy, she’s all in. She lives peacefully with other dogs, loves her walks, and has a cheerful energy that’s downright contagious. She’s done her part as a mama and a survivor. Now it’s her turn to be cherished.

Approx. D.O.B. December 2020. He was rescued in Valle Dorado on the street.

While he gets along well with canine companions, he prefers to keep his food to himself and would rather not share at mealtime. On his own, Dozer is the perfect companion—affectionate, goofy, and loyal. He thrives on attention and has a way of making people laugh with his antics. Because he currently lives in an outdoor shelter, he will need some guidance with house training when he finds his forever home, but with patience and consistency he will quickly learn. Dozer is a guy with spunk, charm, and a whole lot of love to give. He’s looking for a family who can appreciate his playful spirit, guide him with kindness, and give him the safe, happy home he deserves.
