I Knew Right Away that He Was Meant for Us
“I somehow stumbled upon the Bone Voyage Dog Rescue Facebook Page and it was like a lightbulb went off. This was where we would find our little pup. The night I saw a photo of our future puppy, I knew right away he was meant for us. The communication was excellent and quick, the amazing Foster mom sent us daily photos and videos the whole 5 weeks that we waited for our sweet boy. We’re so thankful every day that Bone Voyage Dog Rescue entrusted sweet little Oakley to our family. ”

Meet Your New Furry Family Member
Change Their Life, Change Yours Too
We’ve Got a Rock Solid Process
4,000+ dogs have been hand-delivered by our team to their furever homes in the U.S. and Canada.
You’ll Receive a Happy, Healthy Pooch
They come with a clean bill of health and we’ve not dealt with a single case of heartworm yet.
We’ve Tailored the Adoption Process to Your Needs
Our dogs love life with a foster family while awaiting their new home. During adoption, you can expect regular updates from us and their foster parents.
Finding the Right Pup Doesn’t Have to be Tough
Many families in the U.S. and Canada can’t wait to introduce a new pup to their home. But when they hear Bone Voyage Dog Rescue is located in Mexico it raises questions. Completely understandable.
Yes, not being local does alter the adoption process a bit—but not as much as you might think. Plus, there are some nice benefits too.
- Our shelter is run by U.S. and Canadian ex-pats, so we speak your language and understand how much this means to you.
- Our team rescues dogs off the streets, gets them healthy, and then partners with you to offer them the next chapter in their new lease on life.
- Unlike many local shelters in your community, we don’t have heartworm outbreaks (a life-threatening issue for many pets living in shelters).
- The cost of veterinary care is much lower here which means not only can you save a life—it’s comparable to adopting a dog at your local shelter.
- We don’t dropship animals. Our volunteers fly alongside your new furry friend and then hand deliver them to you at the airport.
- We fly dogs to any city for which we have a flight angel, including Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Seattle, and Portland.
We’re here to give you peace of mind that your new family member is safe, healthy, and excited to meet you!

I Saw Felix and Knew He Was My Boy
“After months of following adoptions sites, I was beginning to give up hope when I saw my Felix and knew he was my boy. I promptly put my application in. I asked the poster a few questions and was happily directed to the right people! The rest of my experience was just as amazing after my application was accepted. They kept me apprised of Felix’s arrival situations and through their Facebook pages I got connected with his foster. The ease of working with bone voyage only made me more excited to receive my pup! It will be year in a week and Felix is the best friend I could ask for! ”
