Life on the El Dorado golf course

A little female dog named Hobo lived at the golf course in El Dorado. She was terrified of people and survived on the food that people offered her whenever they spotted her
Numerous people noticed that she had a large growth on her stomach. Over the next year this tumor continued to grow, and it became clear that she was in trouble. Several people made unsuccessful attempts to apprehend her.
A recent urgent appeal for assistance was received by SFDR. Hobo was in the pickleball courts and this was the chance to finally capture her.
With a crate, a blanket, catch pole, and an abundance of roasted chicken, she was finally captured. Although it was a huge relief, we were aware of how serious her health was.
She was brought the following morning to Dr. Solis. Hobo was diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread throughout her body. There was nothing that could be done except relieve her suffering. She was held and comforted while she passed quietly. Hobo is suffering no more. May god bless her beautiful soul.

Feliz Anos Nuevo! Happy New Year. Let's make it just that. How about not committing to resolutions? What about committing to spending more time helping the San Felipe Dog Rescue? Perhaps you have more of a chance for success rather than attempting once again to lose 10 pounds, exercise more and eat healthier (although those are all good things).

How about setting an intention? It lets us off the hook and there is no pressure. So for this new year, why not set the intention to do as much as you can in every way for the San Felipe Dog Rescue especially focusing on all the canines we are lucky to spend precious time with?

Please note our new schedule:

Trainings, educational sessions and orientations will now take place Thursdays at 10:15 am.

Here is how it is looking moving forward.

Thursday, January 2nd, 10:15 am - Foster Fun. Join us to learn about what it takes to foster and what kind of support you will receive hosting a pup in your home.

Thursday, January 9th, 10-:15 am - Entering and existing kennels, and various areas. Most of us have practiced 4 Paws on the Ground however what happens when we get barraged with clamoring dogs attempting to escape to the next enclosed area when entering and exiting? Rava, our trainer, will help us navigate through proper protocols to make sure everyone stays safe and well-mannered.

Thursday, January 16th, 10:15 am - Staff Training

Thursday, January 23rd, 10:15 am - Walking Tips for success. How do we redirect the dogs when they pull? How do we know if a dog needs a harness or martingale? How do we size this equipment? What are the cues we need to take from the pups to increase their ability to learn? And then we will walk!

Thursday, January 30th, 10:15 am - Puppies! We will cuddle, lift ears, lips, tails, and play with the new ones. Always a passel of pups around so we should have plenty to go around.

Please make sure you are on the SFDR Dog Handlers messenger chat for updates and to coordinate with others planning on being at the Rescue. Send a request to Belle ([email protected]) to add you but you do need to be on Facebook.

Continue to track dogs on the Dogs at a Glance white boards on the left as you enter the Rescue. Also contributing a few notes to the index cards about characteristics and behaviors helps everyone learn more about that specific dog. And also realize that just because one person is having a particular challenge doesn't mean that will be the case for everyone. Always take feedback with a grain of salt.

This Thursday at 9 am, we are also starting a 6-week training with the "R" pups who are hardly pups anymore. R refers to the big golden lab mix who changed her name from Rosie to Goldie. This will be the training that Rava runs her clients through to get them (the dogs) walking, turning, sitting, staying and a myriad of other things. It will be epic and we want to keep it going depending on the success of this launch. Are you interested in subsequent 6-week trainings? Please let Belle know.

Thanks and so much appreciation for all you do!!!

Our Final Giving Tuesday Story

Help us in getting to our goal of $26,000.00! Thanks to an anonymous donor who is matching all contributions up to $13,000, every dollar you give goes even further. So far, we've raised $4,200, but we still need $8,000 to meet our goal and maximize this incredible match.

Fawn's story is a heartbreaking reminder of why your support matters so much. We hope her story inspires you to join us in making a difference.

Staff Christmas Party
To show our appreciation to our staff and all the hard work they do, we had our staff Christmas party on Sunday at our rescue. It was a lot of fun! The food was really good and was prepared by the Road Runner. Lasagna, salad, rolls, pies and cakes. Yum!
We would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season.

Litter of 10 and Mom & Dad Rescued
As soon as we saw the mother strolling by the road, we were struck by how thin she looked. We made a brief stop to feed her before moving on to save Pria.
We saw her by a yard with boats the following day. Soon after, we noticed ten puppies moving around beneath a boat.
For the next two weeks, we drove out there and fed the family.
Jenn had picked up four of the babies, so we rescued the mother and the remaining six pups. We took control of all ten the next day. We also picked up the papa shortly after.
We have five gorgeous dogs ready for adoption since five of the pups will be traveling to the United States in early January to be adopted by our rescue partner. In five days, they will receive their second vaccination.
Please visit the rescue or send an email to [email protected] if you would like to adopt one of these adorable animals.

Cooper Finds His Forever Home
Cooper was one of the dogs rescued during the April CEMCA roundup. He was very popular at the rescue and is a gorgeous dog. Any time people came to the rescue, he greeted them all.
Cooper was placed in foster care for a few days by Sherry Painter to test Cooper's compatibility with her other male dog. It appears to be a perfect fit, and Cooper is there to stay.
We are glad you have a home where you will be loved and cared for for the rest of your life, but we will all miss you, sweet boy.

Lost Dog?
We picked up a tiny male chihuahua on a street in the Ejido today. He is very skinny but looked like he may have had surgery lately.
If anyone is aware who the owner may be, please contact the rescue at 686-122-9297.

Introducing Reggie!
In search of nourishment, Reggie was discovered walking around the Ejido. We picked him up and took him to see Dr. Solis because he had a large growth on his foot. Following an examination, it was concluded that Freddie required surgery to remove the tumor and a damaged tooth. At the same time, he would also be neutered.
Reggie weighs 24 pounds and is approximately 6 years old. Reggie might be the ideal dog for you if you're searching for a small canine companion. He gets along well with other dogs and is incredibly affectionate.
Contact us at [email protected] or at +52-686-122-9297 for additional details.
