Most of the dogs below will live out their lives safely and happily in our sanctuary. In special cases, we consider placing senior dogs, bully breeds, or those with ongoing medical needs into loving Forever Foster homes. Forever Fosters are ideal for people living independently, in the Bay of Banderas, who want companionship but may not feel comfortable committing to full adoption—especially if concerned about future care should something happen.

Under this program, A Dog’s New Life A.C. retains ownership and covers all vet visits, medications, and preventative care.

Donations, along with a portion of the adoption fees from the dogs we rehome, help provide food and medical care for our permanent pups.
