Guapo's Story of Survival-
In early May of this year we got a phone call about a pup that was abandoned at a desolate beach near Todos Santos, Mexico.🏜
He appeared to be beaten, and his eye was in terrible condition. 😭 Our hearts broke knowing someone had abused this sweet soul and then left him for a long and painful death alone in the Mexican heat. 🐕
Our team jumped into action, with the help of the finder, and got him to town for the night. Then we quickly moved him to our vet Clínica Ortiz Camino Real for evaluation and intake as his wounds were very urgent and painful. 🩺
Upon intake, we saw he had many human made injuries, and some indicating he may have been used as a bait dog. However, our major concern was his eye, which was in poor condition and unfortunately not savable. 😭 Luckily, Dr. Alan jumped into action, and after a week of gaining his strength for surgery, Guapo had an eye removal surgery.🐶
After recouping doggie boarding at the vet for a few days he went to our amazing foster Maria Jose Revilla to begin the stages of healing 💪 Maria has helped him heal not just physically but mentally as well. His foster family has done an amazing job of helping Guapo learn to trust again, and be a confident, cuddly pup. 🥰
Guapo has learned so much and has healed so much both physically and mentally🐾
We have learned he is cat friendly, kennel trained, and loves playing with all the pups he meets. And even though he was brutally abused and left for dead he is still so trusting and loving of everyone he meets ❤️
Now, it is our job to help Guapo get the perfect ending for his story - a family to call his own forever. 👨👩👧👦
We can all help Guapo find a family by sharing his story. He is around 3 years old, 45lbs, house trained, very sweet, and super playful. ❤️
We can have Guapo to the Pacific Northwest for his perfect family by September 10th. ❤️ He is currently located in La Paz, Mexico. We could also
CHATO PUPDATE ❤️
Chato a SBP alumni is thriving in his new home. He has a fursibling. And gets to go to work with his mom almost everyday. We love this sweet boy and after 3 years in the shelter he deserved the best family 🐾 our hearts are so full seeing this wonderful boy thriving.
Chato was originally rescued from being chained up at a farm in Todos Santos, Mexico. He then spent 3 years at our shelter waiting for his forever family 🐾
These are just some of the pups we rescued this summer. And their time spent in the PNW 🐾
Our paws are busy rescuing dogs from all over!🌎
Literally - Oklahoma, Texas, California, Oregon, Washington, and of course Baja, where we have our shelter and home base! 🐾❤️🐾
A lot of people wonder "why" we rescue from all over. When I started this program it was Baja focused, but through the years we have discovered we can help more dogs everywhere, including our Baja dogs, by expanding our paws throughout Mexico and the USA. The bigger our network, the bigger our reach, the more help we will receive in return. 🙏 This is why 2024 was the largest year of nationwide expanding, so we can receive more help in the USA, which ultimately leads to our shelter Baja pups getting more homes and notice too! 🔥

Help us raise this months shelter cost by donating just a dollar! Without YOUR support our paws cannot help more in need🙏
Our paws have had an amazing 4th summer in Baja Mexico. 🥳However, we took on some large medical cases from Cerritos, Todos Santos, and La Paz and are now WAY behind and can't afford to help anymore pups currently because we owe so much at the vet.😔😭
To help us be able to pay down our vet bills we are asking for some help covering food and shelter expenses this month. It would be a blessing for any help, and help us continue to rescue even more pups 🙏🐾
Our shelter where we house anywhere from 30 - 40 dogs at a time costs about $3,000usd every month. This includes dog food for 30 days, flea/tick medication for all dogs, and our live-in shelter manager who works 24/7/365. Every dollar helps! ❤️🙏

Meet Porsha! She is an incredibly sweet and playful 1-year-old black Lab, weighing in at 47 lbs. This smart girl learns quickly and loves to cuddle, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for both an active playmate and a snuggle buddy. Porsha has also previously done well with a dog savvy cat!
Porsha has a love for all toys, but her absolute favorite is a rubber squeaky ball. She adores playing fetch and will eagerly bring the ball back every time. She’s friendly with everyone she meets, dogs included! While Porsha doesn't pull hard on the leash, she does have a habit of stopping to sniff everything. She is very trainable, and with a bit of work, she'll master leash walking in no time!
Porsha enjoys her crate and goes in willingly when asked. Porsha loves treats and has great manners. She doesn’t table surf or try to get into trash cans. Porsha is still very young and can be a bit rough when playing, but takes correction very well. but she listens when told to stop. She loves chewing on hard toys and can rip apart softer ones. Fetch is one of her favorite games, and she’s always ready for a good play session!
Porsha has a high energy level and would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of exercise and playtime. She is working on her potty training skills, and her new family would need to continue to work on it with her. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and smart companion, Porsha is the perfect match. She is fostered in Portland, OR. Apply now at savingbajapaws.org/application to give Porsha the loving home she deserves!

We are shocked Dulce hasn’t gotten any applications!
Meet Dulce, a charming 2-year-old tan beauty weighing 30 lbs and currently residing in a foster home in Portland, Oregon. This sweet female pup is potty trained, walks well on a leash, social with all dogs, cats and loves humans!
While Dulce is still getting acquainted with toys and may be a bit nervous around balls, she's learning and adapting quickly. She's learning to use a doggy door and has adapted well to sleeping on a cozy dog bed. Treats are a favorite of hers, and she's shown no interest in table surfing or getting into trash cans.
Dulce is a friendly and affectionate soul, always ready to shower her humans with love and kisses. Despite her independent streak, Dulce enjoys interactive play and is curious about the world around her, showcasing her intelligence and fun-loving nature.
One of Dulce's standout traits is her perfect blend of chill and playfulness. Dulce is fantastic with kids and dogs, making her a versatile and loving addition to any family.
In terms of energy level, Dulce is medium, enjoying moments of play and relaxation equally. She would thrive in a loving home environment where she can continue to blossom and share her sweet and gentle nature with her forever family. If you're looking for a loving, fun, and affectionate companion, Dulce is the perfect match for you!

Introducing Tayana, a delightful Lab mix with a heart of gold. At 2.5 years old and 55 lbs, this black-and-white beauty was found abandoned in La Paz, Mexico, alongside another dog. Tayana's journey to a forever home has been marked by resilience, and after overcoming heartworm with the dedicated support of her rescuers at Saving Baja Paws, she is now ready to embark on the next chapter of her life.
Tayana's personality is a delightful mix of affection, playfulness, and loyalty. She is a loving and sweet companion, always eager to engage in playful activities. Tayana thrives on human interaction and is not independent, making her the perfect furry friend for someone seeking constant companionship.
In terms of preferences, Tayana has an open heart for all people, though there's a hint that her first owner may have been a man. She walks like a dream on a leash, demonstrating excellent manners by heeling and waiting patiently for various distractions.
While Tayana hasn't lived with children, her friendly nature suggests a potential match, though her jumping habit may require attention. She has interacted positively with other dogs, displaying gentleness during play and even kissing the faces of her fellow furry friends.
Being food motivated, Tayana adores treats and is gentle when taking them. Her food drive is strong, but she has a challenge with feeding manners, jumping up to reach for her food. With consistent efforts, improvements have been made, but her forever family will need to continue training.
Tayana's mild fear response, possibly linked to past experiences, emphasizes the need for a patient and understanding owner. Her playfulness, medium energy level, and affectionate nature make her an ideal companion for someone willing to invest time and leadership.
In conclusion, Tayana is an incredibly loving dog with great potential to be an exceptional companion. If you are ready to provide her with the strong leadership and patience she needs, Tayana is sure to fil
