Update on the 31 dog Rescue
Three of the chihuahuas/small breeds have been adopted and another is going to a home in Yuma.
The new born babies are doing good. They are steadily gaining weight.
One of the chihuahuas Naomi is going to our rescue partner GTR on Sep 7th.
A rescue group in Canada has expressed interest in taking 6 to 8 of these dogs. All we have to do is get them socialized more to humans. Natcho in our front house is ready to go. Three are out at fosters and our staff and volunteers are working hard to reassure them they have nothing to fear from humans.
This video show Genesis with the dogs in our Vet General Population area. They wait for her by the gate and follow her everywhere. It shows these dogs really want human contact.
If you have any spare time, please drop by the rescue and spend a bit of time socializing these dogs. Every minute with them helps!

Lucky to be Alive!
Ebony is 3 months old and in extremely poor condition. She was on the road downtown and everyone just drove around her. Fortunately Janice Rodighiero spotted the pup and had to stop.
She brought her Dr. Solis where her blood is being tested. Ebony needs a blood transfusion and thanks to our boy Guapo, his stored blood will be used again. This poor baby is skin and bones and covered in ticks. Anemia is highly likely.
Ebony will spend the night with Dr. Solis and hopefully tomorrow she will come to our rescue.
Please donate for her care at sanfelipedogrescue.org or at the rescue.

Fosters needed for 2 weeks
We have a great opportunity to get some of the chihuahuas from the 31 dog rescue to Canada in September. Most of these dogs are afraid or leary if people. We need to get them away from the pack and into a home setting. We have to be able to touch, pet, and pick them up so they can go.
Two weeks is all we are asking. This can change their life forever. Contact us here, at the rescue, or at [email protected]

Drivers Needed on September 7th
We have dogs going to Yuma on the 7th and need drivers.
Sentry card holders will pick up at 6 am. Others without Sentry at 5 am.
We currently have 10 dogs going up. If you can take some dogs up for us, contact us here or at [email protected].
I think most people are aware of the huge number of pups we have so this transport is very important. We can't keep saving dogs without them going to the US.

Update: Another puppy of this litter was caught yesterday at Club de Pesca. It has been reunited with his litter mates. The litter have tested positive to coccidia and will be treated over the next 10 days.

Another abandoned litter found at the dunes today by Club de Pesca residents! 6 long haired Australian kelpie mix puppies left without food and water and at risk of being run over by off road vehicles. 🙏 These little nuggets will soon be ready for their adoptive homes. If you are interested in adopting or helping SFDR in any other way please visit our website at sanfelipedogrescue.org.
Special thanks to Jamie Jo Aguirre, Karen Haney, Joe Casarez and Jesus Guzman who helped rescue them. ❤️

Adoption Update - Wally and Winnie
Well it didn't take long for Wally to be at home with his sister Winnie and his new family.

Message from Tessa
Just wanted to update you about Wally because I’m sure you’ve been wondering. He has been living his best life. Daily walks, swimming, cuddles, treats, and love. Him and his sister Winnie are like 2 peas in a pod already. He is such a good boy! I can’t thank you enough for this opportunity. He is such a blessing to our family! ❤️

Puppy Rescued by the National Guard!

Today, a National Guard vehicle saw a tiny puppy on Hwy 5 and stopped to help it. They stopped the traffic in both directions to ensure the puppy was rescued safely. Wonderful to see the local community pitching in to help the dogs that have been abandoned.

After arriving at the rescue, we tested her for parvo and distemper. She was negative so we started syringing electrolytes into her. She is very sick and was not able to eat anything.

Next was a trip to Dr. Solis. She was extremely dehydrated and needed to be on an IV. By the end of the day she was a bit better but not ready to come back to the rescue. Another day or two will be needed.

Thank you Dr. Solis for taking her in even before your clinic was open. and thank you to the 3 National Guard officers who cared enough to rescue this little girl.

Successful Transport
10 dogs were just transported to Yuma by Craig Maxwell and Lynn Mitchell. Lynn brought Wally, Clair and Dumba as far as Yuma. Craig brought 8 dogs to Yuma, picked up two more and drove to Mesa to deliver our precious packages.
Thank you both for making it possible to get these puppies to our rescue partner!!!
There were no border issues with bringing the dogs across.
