Change a life, because all dogs matter — all for the dogs!
GAIA Island of Dogs Bali

Adopt

Give a rescued dog a forever home.

Every dog here has waited for a second chance. When you adopt, you don't just change their life — you free a space on the shore for the next dog who needs it.

Adopt a dog

Meeting the dog who's been waiting for you.

These dogs have been through so much before they reached us. We don't rush that. Adoption is a lifelong promise, so take an honest look at your life — your home, your family, your days. Our team knows each dog's story, and we'll quietly help you find the one whose heart fits yours.

We adopt within Bali and overseas, and we stay with you through every step — from your first hello to the flight paperwork home.

We know our dogs.

Please trust our knowledge of them. If we believe the dog you've chosen isn't the right match for your life, we'll gently recommend one who is — because a second failed home is a wound we won't risk.

About our dogs

Healed, whole, and hoping for home.

  • Every dog is seen by our vet and given a clean bill of health before they ever meet you.
  • Our dogs are fully vaccinated and sterilised before adoption — and if a puppy is too young, we arrange sterilisation later and stay close to make sure it happens.
  • They've learned to trust again on a nourishing diet, and we'll share what they love so your home can carry it on.
  • Most are socialised with people and other dogs, sleep soundly through the night, and walk gently on a lead — we'll tell you honestly where each one is at.

Adoption costs

No adoption fee — just love and a forever home.

We never charge an adoption fee. These dogs have already given so much. By the time one goes home, they carry months of quiet care — full vaccination, sterilisation, treatment, food, training, and gentle socialisation. If you can give a donation, it's never expected, always cherished, and it helps us welcome the next dog through our gates.

Important to know

Honesty about health.

Our dogs are rescues. They have survived streets, illness, and injury, and we will always be completely honest about any pre-existing condition and share their medical records with you at adoption.

We ask every adopter to book a check-up with their own vet soon after taking a dog home. Some illnesses have long incubation periods, so if a dog shows any sign of sickness, please see a vet promptly and tell us straight away.

During the two-week trial, GAIA covers the cost of treating a pre-existing illness that appears. New injuries or new exposures after that are the adopter's responsibility.

Rabies remains present across Bali. We strongly encourage adopters to be pre-vaccinated, to avoid bites and saliva contact with open skin, and to contact us immediately about any unusual behaviour in a dog in your care.
