Bruna and Teddy have both found their forever families!! Bruna in Canada and Teddy in Costa Rica. Thank you to everyone who supported their journeys, your kindness made all the difference.

From Bruna to Teddy: The Journey Continues

What started as a mission to help two inseparable street dogs in Costa Rica has turned into a beautiful rescue story — and it’s still unfolding.

Thanks to the generous support of this incredible community, Bruna has officially made it to Canada and is now living her best life in British Columbia with her loving adoptive family. Her journey had twists and turns, but with your help, she is now safe, adored, and finally home.

Now, it’s Teddy’s turn.

Teddy is Bruna’s longtime beach bestie — a quiet, loyal companion with soulful eyes and a gentle heart. Back in December, while Bruna was still with him, Teddy became seriously ill. We suspect it was distemper. Thankfully, Bruna had been vaccinated in the fall and remained healthy, but it was a close call — and a reminder of how vulnerable street dogs truly are.

Teddy’s recovery was made possible by this community and by local efforts on the ground. Some neighbors helped him through the worst of his illness, and kind-hearted travelers and locals continued to check on him, feed him, and make sure he wasn’t alone.

He was later neutered at a local castration clinic organized by Amigos Perros de Nicoya and cared for by a compassionate vet who likely discounted her services to make sure he got the attention he needed.

Now, Teddy is healthy, recovering, and so close to being ready to travel. He’s still waiting for a forever home, but in the meantime, he’s being visited regularly, fed, and shown love.

This fundraiser will now go toward:

Final vetting and vaccines

Follow-up care, if needed

Travel crate and documentation

Transportation and flight costs

Aftercare and adoption support

We’re so close to giving Teddy the same fresh start that Bruna got.

Every donation, every share, every kind word has made a difference.

Let’s finish what we started — and get this sweet boy home.

Thank you for being part of his journey.
