Adopt a rescue
At Flora Farms, we strongly believe in supporting animal rescue efforts and being a vital part of our community's well-being.
While we're not a rescue organization and are not able to provide foster care for rescued animals, we've created a program to uplift and assist our dedicated staff members who work as independent animal rescuers. Together, we organize adoption events to allow potential adopters to meet these animals in person.
Beyond physical gatherings, our social media presence helps share these rescue stories with a wider audience.
Our goal is to unite these resilient animals with caring individuals who can provide them with the love and care they deserve.
Through teamwork and connection, we aim to create a network of hope and homes for every rescue, welcoming them into loving hearts and households.
ADOPTION EVENTS
Come meet some adoptable local animals that have been rescued from unfortunate circumstances and help us give them another chance in life!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
We are committed to finding them loving, forever homes.
We will regularly update this page as new animals arrive in need of a loving family and home.
AWESOME
Female
6 years old
Size: medium (18kg/40lbs)
Awesome is a cute mini pitbull who was brought to a vet’s office after she was attacked and severely injured by some dogs. Due to the lack of concern from its owners, the vet refused to give her back and instead adopted her out to a more responsible family. 70 year-old Bonnie decided to foster little Awesome with the plan of gifting her to her pittie-loving younger brother who was about to move to Cabo. Sadly, her brother passed away very unexpectedly before he could become Awesome’s papa. After this unimaginable loss and despite her continuous efforts, Bonnie finds herself facing the harsh truth that she’s unable to provide Awesome with the active and enriched lifestyle she deserves. We’re in desperate need to help Awesome find a forever home where she’ll get lots of love, fun activities, long walks and bonding moments with her people and other doggy friends..
SALEM
Male
8 years old
Size: small (4.5kg/9.8lbs)
Salem, also known by many owners and staff as Bo Fang and Panther, is one of our most beloved farm cats who lives around the Farm Cottages. He made his first appearance at the farm 6 years ago when he “applied” for a security guard post, which he of course obtained considering his high “qualifications”. Even though living freely at the farm was like a dream at first, it recently became more challenging as we discovered he has Feline Leukemia which can be treated but, when not properly supervised, can weaken his immune system and lead to other health issues. Even though cats with Leukemia can still live long and happy lives, Salem is in urgent need of a more stable environment and a loving family to provide him with the proper care his condition requires. He’s an absolute sweetheart who gets along perfectly with kids and can even be civil around dogs. He’s the best furry candidate for anyone looking for a loving and overly-friendly kitty to share special moments with. If you’re interested in adopting Salem or would like more information, please reach out to our Animal Welfare team at petcare@flora-farms.com
MANI
Male
3-4 years old
Size: small (3.9kg/8.5lbs)
Mani, also known as Freddie, is one of our friendliest farm cats who just loves being around people! Originally a security guard, he recently decided to become part of our farm host team. His welcoming and gentle demeanor make him perfect for the job as he loves greeting staff and guests and getting lots of attention from everyone! Unfortunately, we recently discovered he has a diaphragmatic hernia which is a very severe life-threatening condition that limits the amount of air that can enter his lungs, thus completely affecting his current lifestyle as a farm cat. We’re planning on doing a correction surgery as soon as we find him a permanent home since living outdoors and without a stable family will be unsuitable for his condition post-op. He’s a very affectionate kitty who even finds it in his heart to love doggies. He’d be a great addition to a family with kids and/or other pets as he’s highly adaptable and affectionate. If you’d like to know more about Mani please feel free to reach out via email at petcare@flora-farms.com
WALL-E
Male
1.7 years old
Size: medium (20kg/40lbs)
Adoption via: Baja Safe
Wall-E was rescued alongside his mom and litter mates from a landfill in Guerrero Negro, more than 10hrs away from Cabo. Somehow they had managed to stay alive under those most precarious and harsh circumstances. Luckily, our friends from Baja Safe came to the rescue and were able to place all pups and mamma with loving families. Sweet Wall-E is the last one of his litter still looking for a home. He’s a very loving, loyal and playful pup who enjoys playing with other dogs and running around. Due to his traumatic past, he’s a bit shy at the beginning and takes a little time to trust a person, but after a week or so he starts showing his true colors and turns into an absolute love bug. He’s also a very active pup who’d be perfect for anyone looking for an adventure partner! If you’re interested in Wall-E or know of anyone who would be, please send us an email to petcare@flora-farms.com !
FRIJOLITO
Male
1.8 years old
Size: small (5kg/11lbs)
Neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed
Frijolito is part of our legume-inspired cat litter originally located at the Farm Spa. We believe they probably came from the neighboring hills, looking for some food and a warm place to sleep. At only 2.5 months of age, they had already enticed many of our owners and staff, convincing them to bring them yummy treats. Out of the 3 spa cats, Frijolito quickly became the most popular thanks to his extra charming and lovable demeanor. Even though he enjoys the outdoors, he dreams of becoming someone’s home cat where he’ll get lots of hugs from his favorite people, as well as fun moments with new cat siblings. His sweet and submissive behavior tends to play against him at the Farm as there are too many cats roaming, some of them being real bullies. We believe he would thrive in a loving home where he could have a safer space to be as peaceful and goofy as he wants, while also spending some fun and happy moments with his new family.
MALCOLM
Male
9 years old
Size: Large(35kg/77lbs)
Neutered, vaccinated and dewormed
Adoption via: Baja Safe
Malcolm is a veteran stray dog, having lived at least 6 years alone in the streets before Baja Safe rescued him. After spending some time in foster care, he was adopted by a family who left him at a doggy daycare and never came back. Ever since, his rescuers have been working hard to find him a forever home where they will love him dearly. He's a sweet older pup who, despite having some hearing problems and scars from past lives, always has a positive attitude and a big smile on his face! He loves meeting new people and receiving lots of love and attention from everyone. He also gets along perfectly with other dogs and enjoys playing in the water and relaxing alongside his favorite person. Due to him being part Sharpei, he tends to have some skin rashes, but nothing that living in a place with milder weather won't fix! If you’re looking for a calm and happy dog with a heart of gold, Malcolm is definitely your guy!
MINION
Male
1.5 years old
Size: small (4kg/8lbs)
Neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed
Minion was found around our Cottages after a concerned Cottage owner reached out about a cat who seemed to have been intoxicated. After further evaluation, we discovered Minion had contracted a severe viral infection which took him almost a month to fight off. Thankfully, he recovered nicely and even gained a few pounds while under our care. He is a very loving, calm, and gentle orange cat who gets along with cats, dogs, and people all the same. He loves playing with toys and being brushed with a very special tool: a miniature broom! He would make a great addition to anyone looking for a friendly and cuddly partner who’ll love them unconditionally.
DUCHESS
Female
5 years old
Size: Medium (18kg/40lbs)
Spayed, vaccinated and dewormed
Adoption via: Baja Safe
Duchess was abandoned at a construction site right after giving birth to a big litter of pups. Due to her poor health, she was unable to nurture them all and the majority passed away. Thankfully, our friends from Baja Safe got there on time to save the remaining pups and their resilient mamma. All puppies were adopted rather quickly, but sweet Duchess is still waiting for her forever home. She is a very loving and extremely loyal dog who always looks up to her leader for guidance and structure. She gets along perfectly with kids and loves going on daily walks with her family. Although cats are not quite her cup of tea, she enjoys living and playing with other doggies, no matter their age or size. Despite appearing a bit shy at first, she quickly becomes the kind of sweet and happy pup that’ll steal your heart away!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-
Do you do animal rescue at Flora Farms? No, we don’t since we’re not a rescue organization. We have an in-house vet who provides all medical help required by each rescue and we use our grounds and our digital media as adoption platforms to put a spotlight on local animals (rescued and fostered by our staff members) to help them find their forever homes more quickly.
Do rescue animals stay at Flora Farms? No, they don’t since we don’t have a space in our grounds neither to contain them nor to tend to all their needs. All of our animals available for adoption are fostered by our wonderful staff and local volunteers.
What is the situation with the farm dogs? Farm dogs were animals that were rescued by Flora Farms’ owners more than 10 years ago when they still lived on the grounds. Sadly, they have all since passed but we've continued with our rescuing efforts through the program we’ve created to help our staff members.
-
What is the adoption process? Firstly, future adopters must fill out our adoption form so we get to know them a bit more and see if the pet they’re interested in is in fact a good match to their family and lifestyle.Secondly, we review their application and contact them via email or phone to discuss further details and/or questions.Thirdly, if the application is approved by our team we move on to planning the animal’s trip (or local drop-off) to reach its new family.Lastly, we prepare all documentation required, as well as all items needed for the travel.
Where can I find the adoption form? You can find our adoption form in English via this link: https://forms.gle/sCqp2XQn8fpror8J7
What can I do to prepare myself and my home for a new pet? A new environment can be challenging for a rescue animal so firstly we recommend being very patient with them and giving them some space to explore and settle at home. Secondly, we recommend getting a bed and a few toys or treats for them to make the experience more pleasant. Lastly, if you have other pets at home, we recommend introducing them slowly so as to avoid any overwhelming encounters and negative interactions.
What is the health status of the rescue animals? If the rescues are adults then they will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated (rabies and DHPP), and dewormed before being given up for adoption. The status of young rescues will depend on their specific situation.
How are rescues cared for before adoption? They are fostered by some of our trusted staff members and our animal welfare team takes care of taking them to the vet’s office for checks up and basic health care.
Can I bring my current pets to the adoption event to meet a potential new pet? Ideally, we prefer to set up a “meet and greet” where the adopters' pets can meet the rescue so we can evaluate how they get along and if they’ll be a good match to live together. We prefer when guests do not bring their pets to adoption events so as to give the rescues available the spotlight and to avoid any possible negative interactions linked to a bigger crowd of dogs hanging out in a busy and small area.
-
What is the adoption fee? Our adoption fees for dogs (350 USD) and for cats (300 USD) cover all of the medical and basic care our staff has put into each rescue. These fees include tests for contagious/mortal diseases, 2 rounds of internal deworming, spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine (dogs), FBRCP vaccine (cats), Microchipping, food and accessories required (beds, collars, toys, etc). These fees also help us keep this rescue program running and help more animals in need.
What are the expenses associated with international adoptions? If the rescue animal needs to be flown to the US or Canada, then the future adopter must cover all of its travel expenses. Some of the common travel expenses are:
Pet flight ticket (120 to 180 USD for pets in cabin, prices vary for pets in cargo)
Kennel or carrier for the trip (prices vary depending on the animal’s size). For reference, a carrier for a 17lbs rescue traveling in a cabin is usually around 60 USD. A carrier for a 45-lb rescue traveling in cargo is around 250 USD.
Other fees linked directly to each airline or the animal’s specific characteristics may arise.
-
How do I take a rescue animal back home? Rescue animals that respect the guidelines for traveling can be flown to the US or Canada via several commercial airlines that provide the service, as well as semi-private or private planes. Some of the best commercial airlines to travel with pets in-cabin are American, United, and Alaska Airlines. Some of the best airlines to travel with a pet in-cargo are Alaska and American Airlines.
The best semi-private airline for traveling with a pet (under or over 20lbs) is Aero (currently only flying to Los Angeles, CA - Van Nuys Airport). For more information on said guidelines please check the specific website for your airline.What are the rules for flying commercially with pets to the US and Canada? The most common things almost all airlines ask for are:
Pets must be over 8 weeks old to fly (some airlines request them to be older)
Pets must have had their rabies vaccines at least 1 month before traveling
It’s highly recommended to deworm the pet at least 1 month before traveling
We urge you to please check the specific website of your airline to learn more about their specific rules and guidelines for traveling with pets from Mexico.
* Semi-private or private airlines may be more flexible with these guidelines and would probably make it easier to travel with newly adopted rescues than commercial airlines.
-
What if the adoption doesn't work out? If the rescue doesn't get along with other pets or family members in the household or if there are unexpected circumstances we urge the adopters to contact us first and, if possible, find a way to return the rescue to us so we can keep it safe while we work on finding them a more suitable home.
What kind of support is offered after adoption? Our team always provides assistance during the adoption process, as well as training advice and basic assistance for newly adopted pets and their families.

Here are some ideas on how to help these lovable rescues in case you can’t adopt:
Foster: If you live in Los Cabos full-time or partially you can volunteer to foster a dog or cat for whatever amount of time you are available. We do ask our fosters to commit to at least 2 weeks of fostering (if possible) to give these rescues a little stability in their lives.
Flight escort: Many of our rescues need to reach their forever homes in Canada or the US. If you’re traveling abroad and would like to help them during their journey, you can propose yourself as a flight escort to help us transport these rescues to their final destinations. All expenses linked to the rescue’s travel would be paid for by the adopters of course. Flight escorts would only help as a vessel to take the rescue to its future home. We will also offer a small gesture from the Farm to all those wanting to lend these rescues a hand.
Donations: We will be receiving cash donations during our adoption events for anyone who’d like to help the cause. We will use these donations to pay for the rescues’ medical expenses and/or other products linked to the rescue’s basic care (food, beds, toys, kennels, etc).
