Bo
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: May 2021
Rescued: May 2025
Size: Medium
Weight: 14 kg
Currently in foster: No
A little about him: Meet Bo, a gentle 4-year-old sweetheart with the kindest soul and the calmest heart. Life hasn't been easy for Bo—he was recently surrendered by his owner—but through it all, he’s remained loving, trusting, and full of quiet strength. This easy-going boy gets along beautifully with other dogs and brings a peaceful energy wherever he goes. With his soft eyes and sweet nature, Bo is the kind of companion who will quietly curl up by your side and remind you what unconditional love really means.
His story: Over the years, PATA and generous community members have supported Bo’s vet care, as his owner had limited means. In December, Bo was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg. He stayed with us for several weeks while he recovered and then returned home. Sadly, Bo then got sick with tick fever and anemia. This time, his owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to our care – something we had always offered to do if it ever came to that.
Carolina
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: May 2024
Rescued: November 2025
Size: Medium/Large
Weight: 20 kg
A little bit about her: Carolina is a joyful, happy 18-month-old girl with a constant smile and a playful spirit. She has a wonderful way of putting other dogs at ease and warmly welcomes new rescues into her play group. Despite being abandoned on the street, Carolina still loves people and trusts easily. Her favorite thing in the world is playing with her furry friends. Carolina is now looking for her forever home—a place where she will be safe, cared for, and truly loved. If you’re ready to show this fun-loving girl what it means to be part of a family, she’s ready to give you her whole heart.
Her story: Carolina was abandoned at a well-known dumping spot. It’s hard to understand how anyone could leave behind such a sweet, gentle dog. At first, she was sad and very timid. A kind neighbor noticed her and made sure she was fed and cared for until we were able to bring her to safety. Now, Carolina is thriving and waiting for her happy ending.
Faith
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: April 2025
Rescued: December 20205
Size: Small/Medium
Weight: 11 kg
A little bit about her: Faith is a puppy with a gentle, resilient spirit. After everything she’s been through, she can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up beautifully with patience and kindness. Once she feels safe, her sweet nature shines through — she loves calm affection, soft voices, and simply being close to her people.
Her story: Faith was found abandoned on the side of a busy road with multiple injuries and in a very fragile state. She was extremely frightened and initially too scared to let anyone near her. After receiving urgent veterinary care, it was discovered that she had a cervical spine fracture, as well as older injuries to her knee and pelvis.
To give her the best chance at a comfortable, pain-free life, one of her back legs had to be removed. Since then, Faith has made an incredible recovery. She is now much stronger, moving around well, and gaining confidence every day. Like many tripod dogs, she is learning to adapt beautifully and is expected to live a happy, active life.
Faith is now ready to find her forever home — a patient and loving environment where she can continue to build trust and feel safe. She has already shown so much strength and heart, and with the right family, she will make a deeply loyal and special companion.

A little bit about them: Pepe and Gypsy are two inseparable rescues who have truly become each other’s family here at PATA. When they were fostered together, something magical happened — they bonded instantly and have been best friends ever since. Each has helped the other gain confidence and heal from past trauma. After everything they’ve overcome, we’re hoping to find them a loving home together, so they never have to be apart again.
Pepe is a spirited, funny guy who loves attention and beach walks, while Gypsy brings a gentle, devoted energy and endless affection. Together, they’re the perfect blend of playfulness and love — ready to fill your home with joy, loyalty, and wagging tails.
Gypsy's story: Gypsy showed up on someone’s property, frightened and starving. She was extremely timid—she’d eat the food left out for her and then disappear back into the jungle. It took time and patience to earn her trust and finally bring her to safety. At the vet, we discovered she had recently been spayed, yet no one ever came forward to claim her.
Pepe's story: We received a call from a concerned lady who’d found Pepe with a very serious tail injury. The wound was down to the bone and badly infected. It looked like a machete wound. Poor boy was bleeding and in a lot of pain.

With people, though, Jacquie is sweet, affectionate, and just a little bit sassy in the most charming way. She’s now searching for her forever home. Could this adventurous little love bug be the one you’ve been waiting for?
Her story: Jacquie was abandoned in the countryside, but thankfully a kind couple took her in and cared for her until she could be brought to the refuge.

Rescued: January 2026
Size: Medium
Weight: 15 kg

With treatment, rest, and kindness, he has healed both physically and emotionally, and is now ready to leave his past behind.

Tyler
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: July 2024
Rescued: October 2025
Size: Medium
Weight: 22 kg
A little about him: Despite everything he has endured, Tyler has remained friendly, trusting, and remarkably well-behaved — a true survivor in every sense. Now that he has fully recovered, his sweet and playful personality truly shines. He loves being petted and fussed over and is especially enthusiastic about beach time, where he enjoys playing fetch in the water.
Watching Tyler’s transformation has been incredibly heartwarming. He does find the refuge environment overwhelming due to the large number of dogs and can be reactive toward certain dogs as a result. Tyler would thrive best in a quieter home, either as the only dog or with just one calm canine companion.
His story: This brave boy was hit by a car and left to suffer for four long days before we found him. By the time we rescued him, Tyler was in terrible shape — he had several wounds, one of his testicles was severely damaged and necrotising, and his wounds were full of screw worms. He was on the verge of sepsis. Our vet team performed an emergency surgery involving a full castration and deep cleaning to remove all the necrotic tissue and worms. While that surgery was successful, Tyler still had to recover from tick fever before we could operate on his damaged hip joint. Today Tyler is fully healed and ready to form a deep bond with that special person who will give him the safe, loving home he deserves.
