My name is Trophy and I am a 9 month old Lab x. I was rescued from a life alone in a back yard, but even after that, I am still a very happy boy. I love water and am very playful, so need lots of exercise! I love to play with other dogs, check out the video on my page of my foster sister, Chata and I playing!

Who We Are
Pawsitive Match Rescue has been in town for a year! We are a non-profit organization based out of Calgary, Alberta, who is dedicated to saving dogs and matching them with the right families, creating a “pawsitive match”.
Pawsitive Match saves dogs facing life-threatening circumstances in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The dogs in our program come from shelters that have no choice but to euthanize due to over-crowding or because they are shutting down. Our dogs also come to use from local reserves and are occasional owner-surrenders.
Pawsitive Match is also involved in an education program in Mexico, particularly in Cabo San Lucas and its surrounding areas. Our volunteers travel to Mexico and work exhaustively to promote spaying & neutering, as well as responsible pet ownership. We believe that abandoned and abused dogs deserve a second chance at a happy life, no matter where they come from.
Our Dogs
The Pawsitive Match team has developed a system for our incoming rescue dogs; depending on the circumstances, we either place a dog at our private veterinarian-approved boarding facilities initially, or we place it directly into a private foster home.
Our “Mexican” dogs have typically been fostered in private foster homes in Mexico or have spent at least a month in care at an animal shelter where their health and temperaments have been assessed by a veterinarian.
Pawsitive Match Rescue utilizes the services and expertise of local trainers and veteranarians. We also rely on our private foster homes to provide a detailed profile of their foster dogs’ personalities.

Adopting a friend
Our application screening process is thorough, although we pride ourselves on processing applications quickly and efficiently. The process begins with the applicant filling out a questionnaire, followed by a telephone interview, reference and veterinarian checks and a visit to the applicant’s home. Our adoption fees range from $300 to $400 depending on vet care and transport costs. These funds are used towards saving more lives. Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, receive flea and tick treatment, tested for parasites common to their region, and all other health issues are addressed. prior to adoption. Please note that our dogs are not adopted out on a “first come first served” basis - we look for the best possible “pawsitive match”.
