Lulú is in Rochester now and will be in a lovely foster home tomorrow (Brittany). She is a happy girl and the biggest sweetheart ever!! She doesn’t let her deformity stop her. 🥰 We want to thank everyone who donated to get her here. We raised enough money to not only get her here, but a good start toward getting another one as well! The rescue that she came from has other dogs with deformities that no one wants. They might be different, but many have the seeetest personalities and are just happy to be alive. Because of your generosity, we may be able to save another one!!

Happy Wednesday WAW Family!!!

Meet Lulu! Lulu was found in the street without being able to use her back legs (seen in the first video). Our rescue partners in Mexico saved her, got her cleaned up and fed, and she’s a whole new dog! She still doesn’t have the use of her back legs, but that doesn’t stop her from running and playing. They reached out to us asking if we could bring her to the US to find a forever home. We agreed to transport her but will transfer ownership to a special needs rescue in Rochester, NY that can better cater to her condition. We asked y’all for donations to cover her travel costs and our supporters provided!!! We raised $600 for her transport. Thank you so much for helping us save this perfect girl. Remember: even the special needs dogs deserve a second chance at life!

During a football match, the Alianza Lima 🇵🇪 team made an extraordinary gesture by arriving at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium with homeless puppies, aiming to promote responsible pet adoption.
A heartfelt initiative and a true example to follow! 🐾🐶✨❤️

From a local gardener:
This tick has been on display for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container without any additional feeding, she laid eggs. This demonstrates how long a tick can remain dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember, ticks become active again in the fall, so continue with preventive measures.
If you encounter a small pile of jelly-like balls in your garden, act immediately! These are tick eggs and they're set to hatch soon.
Either set them on fire or destroy them by soaking in isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to wear gloves if you handle the nest, as it contains hundreds of tick eggs that will hatch in a few weeks. I believe it's important to share this post because tick bites can be dangerous.
Stay safe and informed to protect yourself and your garden from these tiny but dangerous creatures!

Merry Christmas Eve!!! It’s been a minute but we have lots of good news to share.

At the beginning of the month, we welcomed Rene, Lili, and Matias to the US!!! Rene had an interested adopter when he arrived but when they came to meet him, they decided to foster Lili as well! They are considering adopting both. Matias stayed with us for over a week and now he’s on an adoption trial. We miss him tons but we know it’s what’s best for him.

Secondly, we will be transporting at least 2 dogs in early February. We will need fosters and adopters so stay tuned for more information!!!

Matias is a 100% Velcro dog. He wants to be held 24/7. I sit down and hold open the baby sling and he just climbs right in like a baby kangaroo. 🩷❤️🩷
