Cali’s rescue journey continuedšŸ„²šŸ’•šŸŒŠšŸ šŸŒž
This is Cali’s rescue storyšŸ’— We rescued Cali from the streets of MexicališŸ‡²šŸ‡½

Cali’s rescue took place back in November of 2024. The reason I’m sharing it today is because we’re starting a YouTube channel! As I was trying to decide where to begin, I thought why not start on day one of Expedition Ola with the very first dog we rescued after setting off on this mission!

This is the Instagram version of Cali’s rescue story, the version that fits within Instagram’s time limits. But there’s so much more to her journey. This evening, 3pm PST, we’ll be sharing our very first YouTube video! Rescuing Cali and what the following 48 hours looked like✨

We were overwhelmed. Completely in over our heads. We had no idea what was wrong with her, what she needed, or what the road ahead would look like. Everything felt uncertain. But beneath all of that was excitement, purpose, and a deep commitment to helping her. We didn’t know how we were going to do it, but we knew we’d figure it out.

We hope you’ll join us over there and follow along as we revisit some of the dogs who helped shape Expedition Ola before eventually catching up to our journey in real time as soon as we’re back on the road!

We feel incredibly honored to be the voices for dogs who have been so voiceless, so overlooked, and yet so deserving of love. And we’re excited for another platform where we can continue sharing their storiesšŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ¾
A couple years ago, we were surfing our way down the coast of Mexico when we met, fell in love with, and spontaneously rescued a street dog we named OlašŸ¾šŸ‡²šŸ‡½šŸ„šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

At the time, we had no idea that rescuing her would completely change the course of our lives. The timing wasn’t right to add another permanent member to our family, but we knew we had to help. So she joined us on our trip, we helped her heal, and then we found her the perfect forever home.

Fast forward 2½ years, we’ve rescued 33 street dogs, and we’re finally back to visit Ola in her forever home.

Had we not rescued Ola, who knows what we’d be doing with our lives today. Rescuing her gave us so much purpose, healing her was so fulfilling, and loving her was truly an honor and that’s why we decided to start this missionšŸ«¶šŸ¼

Every dog we’ve rescued, every forever home we’ve celebrated, every life that’s been changed through this mission can be traced back to Ola, this beautiful girl, a street dog we met on a beach in Mexico🌊
Over the past 48 hours we went and visited 4 of our pups who are now all settled into their forever homesšŸ”šŸ’—

Bodie was reunited with his birth mama, Bella Reina, who seemed totally shocked but really happy to see Bodie and then made it clear that she loves her home and definitely would not be leaving with usšŸ˜‚

Mateo was super stoked to see Bodie and had tons of fun chasing him around at the beach just like the old days hahaha🌊🄲

Millie greeted Bodie with her tail tucked completely thrown off by their reunion but quickly came out of her shell and showed us just how absolutely happy and grateful she is for her new life and forever familyšŸ’•

And then we saw Ola😭 It’s been 2½ years since we last saw the dog who inspired this entire mission, and seeing her again honestly made my heart skip a beat! Seeing Ola and Bodie together felt like two worlds colliding. Our life with Timmy. Our life with Bodie. The beginning of Expedition Ola and everything that’s happened sincešŸ¤

It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to reunite with dogs who we found alone, sick, scared, homeless, and struggling to survive. To see them now, healthy, happy, and living beautiful lives with their forever families, it’s definitely the most rewarding part of our mission!

We are exhausted but our hearts are so very fullšŸ«¶šŸ¼
It’s hard to believe this is the same dog. The dog we found hiding beneath a bus… and the dog sprinting across the beach with pure joy written all over her face🄹✨

Once she was given the safety, love, and freedom she deserved, she finally felt comfortable enough to show us who she’d been all alongšŸ¤

Bexley’s transformation is one we’ll never forget🐾 It’s also one that lives in our hearts as a reminder that these dogs deserve so much more than survival. We will never stop fighting for them to experience happiness and get the chance to simply be a dog, live in the moment, and run freešŸŒŠšŸŒž
Forever home update & DNA results for the scruffy little guy the world fell in love withšŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Felix’s forever mama has been sending us updatesšŸ” Seeing him so loved, so adventurous, so comfortable, and so completely at home has brought us so much peacešŸ’›

But something that feels extra healing for our hearts is getting these results! I love that there’s still more we can discover about him, even after we said goodbye. It feels like a little piece of him we still get to hold ontošŸ”ļøšŸŒž

Seeing all the wild little breeds that make up Felix somehow explains SO much about his hilarious personalityšŸ˜‚

7 years of saying ā€œlet’s do itā€ to ideas that only you and me would be crazy enough to dream upšŸ¤

7 years ago today the world truly conspired for us to meet. It was so random, it couldn’t have been by chance. Since then, we’ve worked hard to build a life that at one point only existed in our heads. Sometimes I look around at this crazy life we’ve created, one filled with rescue dogs, adventures, and so much love, and genuinely can’t believe we really did it.

Thank you for making me feel safe enough to dream this big, and wild enough to actually go live it with mešŸ¾šŸ«¶šŸ¼
For new friends joining our page, meet Bodie, Expedition Ola’s Pack Leader and our forever dogšŸ¾šŸ«¶šŸ¼

When we started this rescue mission, we promised ourselves we wouldn’t keep any of the dogs we rescue. We thought that keeping a dog meant one less spot in our rig and one less life we could save. Bodie was only our second rescue of the mission and we fell in love🄹 but we told ourselves we couldn’t keep him.

It didn’t take long for him to show us that we needed him. Our pack needed a leader. We watched as this little scruffy dog helped heal our other rescue dogs. He taught them how to play and have fun! And before they are ready for that he will just lay with them, and show them they are no longer alone.

Not many dogs would thrive in the wild, unpredictable life we’ve created but Bodie was made for it! He’s as athletic as he is loyal. Independent, but never far from our side. Most street dogs crave stability and comfort. But not Bodie. He wants to see new places, surf perfect waves, and hike to the top of every mountain. He loves the random detours we make and how he never knows what tomorrow will bring. He loves his revolving door of foster brothers and sisters but also soaks in the extra love when it’s just the three of us!

We’re on this mission to find each dog their perfect match. And although we were reluctant to admit it, we needed him just as much as he needed us! Since making Bodie a permanent member of our family in December 2024, he has helped us rescue 18 street dogs! He is THE STREET DOG THAT RESCUES STREET DOGSšŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ¼

So if you’re wondering if Bodie is up for adoption, he’s not🄰 If you’re wondering if we keep any of the dogs we rescue, Bodie, and only Bodie! If you’re curious if you’ll be seeing more of his cute face, ABSOLUTELY, for a long time to come!

Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll find your perfect match here on our page🩵
This is Expedition Ola🐾 where street dogs get a second chance, and every day is an adventure. This is rescue, in a new and unique wayā¤ļø

We believe what makes us different is exactly what makes our dogs so happy… It’s what helps them find the perfect forever home and what brings a smile to so many faces along the way.

There’s no shelter. No cages. We live in our camper, and so do the dogs we rescue. They’re not just ā€œin our careā€, they’re our family. They sleep in our home (on wheels). They wake up to love. They’re free to roam, play, and discover the world around them, often for the first time. We don’t leash them or control them. We encourage them to become the dog they were always meant to be.

Our rescue is about freedom, joy, and healing. We’re just two humans who love dogs and find joy in sharing our life with a whole pack of rescues. This is Expedition OlašŸŒŠšŸ¾šŸ«¶šŸ¼

We would love for you to join our pack! Give us a follow to come along on our crazy adventures and help us save lives! We can’t wait to see who we will meet and rescue next!
Have you ever wondered why our mission is called Expedition Ola?🐾

In 2023 we went on the trip of a lifetime. A surf trip down the pacific coast of Mexico and Central America, every surfers dreamšŸ„šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøāœØ About one month into our trip, we pulled in to a small fishing village just south of Acapulco as the sun was setting to find a place to camp for the night. We walked the beach and enjoyed the sunset with our senior dog Timmy and a cute street dog joined us as well. She followed us everywhere that evening, down the beach, to the restaurant for dinner and then to our van once it was time to go to bed. I began thinking of names for her even though Nick warned me not to because he said I would get attached. I didn’t listen, I named her Ola, which means wave in Spanish, fitting since we were chasing waves.

We were only staying in this town for one night and although I wanted to cuddle with Ola, we had to prioritize the health of our dog Timmy not knowing if Ola had any fleas, ticks, or other diseases. We hopped into bed and Ola curled up beneath our van. An hour later we were woken up by a dog fight and when we got out of the van, 4 male dogs were attacking Ola. We fended off the dogs and decided to let Ola sleep in our van for the night where she would be safe and get a good nights rest. She didn’t even try to jump on the bed, she was just so thankful to be somewhere quiet and safe, she curled up on the petals at the foot of the driver seat and slept hard. It was probably her first night ever where she was safe from all that threatens her in the streets, and her first night in peace and quiet.

The next morning, our plan was to hit the road and continue heading south. Ola wouldn’t get out of our van. She would duck and hide below our bed and you could see in her eyes, she was begging for us not to put her back out on the street. We kind of joked about taking her but neither of us serious, it felt too crazy. We already had a dog, we were living in a tiny Astro van, we couldn’t just take this random dog… (caption continued in comments)
