Adoption · with BAWA

From street to sweet.

Every one of these dogs was found on Bali's streets - and every one of them is ready to be somebody's whole world. Adoptions are run by our partner BAWA; we're here to make the introductions.

Adopting to Bali, Europe & beyond - flight volunteers make it possible

The pack looking for a home

Updated together with BAWA

Ready to adopt

Chocky

♂ · 6y 11m · found by BAWA · three-legged

Found by BAWA when he needed help most, Chocky gets around just fine on three legs. He's selective and independent, and takes his time deciding if he likes you - but when he finally warms up, it means something. He's looking for a calm, settled home, ideally as the only dog, with an experienced owner happy to let him set the pace.

Riku

♂ · 1y 10m · found in Uluwatu

BAWA found Riku as an injured puppy in a temple parking lot in Uluwatu. He's calm, friendly, and gets along with every dog he meets - he just needs a little time and patience to feel safe before his sweet, gentle side really shines through.

Gamora

♀ · found as a puppy · adopted

One of six puppies left in a sack on the street, Gamora was rescued and cared for by BAWA until her striking half-black, half-white face and gentle nature caught the eye of a loving family. She's now growing up with a canine companion by her side - from a sack on the street to a home full of love.

Street to Sweet - the glow ups

Before & after stories from dogs who made it home

Before
After

Biscuit - dumped in the jungle as a tiny puppy, she lost every one of her siblings, then nearly lost her own fight against Parvo. She's still a little anxious about being left alone after losing her whole family so young - but now she has her own coconut-fiber bed and a home that isn't going anywhere.

Before
After

Kali - found nearly drowning in a river in Keramas, covered in mud and unable to lift her own head, then nursed back to life within a week of love and physiotherapy. She's the street dog who inspired the name Kali Dogwear.

Before
After

Bobby - found starving and barely hanging on in the mountains, with almost no hair left, a badly broken leg and two bullets lodged in his body. After months of vet care and a foster home full of love, he healed into the sweetest, happiest pup - and was adopted by Melissa. From street to sweet.

The honest fine print: we are a dog gear company, not an adoption agency. All adoptions run through BAWA's process, vet checks and judgment - we showcase the dogs, cheer loudly, and make introductions. That's how it should be.
