🕯️💀Día de los Muertos for Pets – October 27

In Mexico, the celebration of Día de los Muertos begins before November 1 and 2.
Each night leading up to those days is believed to welcome different souls through the portal between the worlds of the living and the dead.
💀
October 27 is dedicated to pets—our loyal companions who, in life, filled our homes with love and joy.
Families prepare a special space on their ofrendas (altars) with offerings like:
* Photos of their pets
* Their favorite toys or treats
* Water and candles to guide their spirits home
* Marigold petals (cempasúchil) to light their way
💀
According to tradition, their souls visit during the night of October 27, returning to the spirit world in the early hours of October 28.
This tender tradition reminds us that love transcends death—and that even our furry friends are remembered and welcomed back home. 🐾💀🌼

🐾 October 10, 2025 — Welcome, EVA 🌺

Nine days ago, we were contacted about a dog in heartbreaking conditions spotted near the Vista Vallarta Golf Course in Puerto Vallarta. When we received her at our vet, she was skin and bones having spent too much time in the streets alone.

Our vet believes she’s around 12 years old, based on the condition of her teeth. She’s suffering from demodex mange (non-contagious) and clearly hasn’t had proper care in a long time. We don’t know if she ever had a family — and honestly, it doesn’t matter. She’s part of our family now🫶🏽

Eva was immediately given Simparica Trio and a colloidal silver bath to help soothe her painfully itchy skin. Almost instantly, it brought her relief. After a few days of rest, proper nutrition, and lots of TLC, she’s now out of her kennel and able to move about freely in Puppyland, where she quietly coexists with small dogs and playful puppies. She’s frail, gentle, and very quiet — but her tail has started to wag. She even follows us around now🧡

We have a deep love for senior dogs. There’s something profoundly special about them — we always wish they could share the stories of their long lives. For now, Eva is safe and loved. She has a long road ahead, but whether she stays with us the remainder of her life or is forever fostered locally, we’re honored to walk this journey with her.

Welcome home, Eva. We’re already so in love with you👵🏼😍

UPDATE: ALL clinic costs are now fully covered 🥹👏🏽 🎉

We’d like to thank The Weber Foundation for the sponsorship; Sarah Weber and Sharon Tognietti.

We’d also like to thank our other donors. The extra funds received will be paying for the Vincristine & Doxorubicin medication we need to purchase for two dogs (June & Sparky) who are still receiving weekly chemotherapy.

✂️Help Us Sponsor a Spay/Neuter Clinic✂️

We’re in urgent need of hosting another spay/neuter clinic for our shelter dogs — they’re finally ready for surgery, but we need your help to make it happen.
As we reach the tail end of low season with no fundraising, resources become scarce. That’s why we’re turning to you, our amazing supporters🫶🏽

We have 15 dogs lined up and ready. Our vet charges us just $350 pesos per dog, which brings our total need to $5,250 pesos — that’s about $285 USD or $400 CAD to treat all 15 dogs🐶
Sterilization is absolutely vital — not only does it help prevent overpopulation, but it also brings each dog one step closer to a loving forever home🏡

Can you help us fund this clinic? 🐾
Every donation helps, no matter the amount. You can sponsor a single dog or contribute toward the overall cost.

👉 To sponsor or donate:

From all of us and the pups — thank you for being part of the solution💜💛🧡

The day I always knew would come—arrived today🌈🐾

This morning, we said goodbye to Ellie. Jessica and I (Karen) were with her as she crossed the rainbow bridge, held in love until the very end.
Anyone who knows me knows that Ellie was my girl. While many dogs have come and gone through our shelter, Ellie held a uniquely special place in my heart. Every visit—I always found myself by her side a little longer than with anyone else.

Earlier today, Fanny found Ellie in the midst of a seizure. She was rushed to the vet, but the seizure didn’t stop. Based on her condition, we believe she may have been suffering for several hours. With so many animals in our care, it’s heartbreaking, but sometimes we simply can’t be everywhere at once.

Ellie came to us on July 5, 2021—rescued right here in Bucerias. She spent 1,563 days with us. Over four years. Though she was never adopted, she was home. And she was deeply loved. That love carried her through to her final breath.
Today, we made the decision to let her go. It was the last gift we could give her—freedom from pain🕊️✨

Until we meet again, Ellie-gator, Ellie-belly, Ellie-bean, La Papa Abuela…my girl.
Rest peacefully. You were so loved💔

💔 Welcome Bernie — Another Heartbreaking Rescue 💔

Day after day, the cries for help continue. Today, we introduce you to Bernie, a young dog who came into our care on October 8th under truly heartbreaking circumstances.
Found wandering the streets of Valle Dorado, Bernie was given one night of safety by a kind stranger before they reached out for help — they simply couldn’t keep him. That’s when Bernie’s journey to healing began.

What happened to Bernie is beyond comprehension. His entire face was burned. We don’t know how or why — but we do know this: it was intentional. When Bernie first arrived at the vet, we couldn’t even see his eyes through the damage. He spent two nights under close medical care before arriving at our shelter.
Despite everything, Bernie is the sweetest little soul. Just a year old and under 15 lbs, he has shown nothing but love and trust toward those caring for him.

The vet explained that as his burns heal, the dead skin will begin to peel, revealing raw, sensitive skin underneath. He’s wearing a cone to protect his healing face, and thankfully, he’s adapting well and getting along with the other dogs.
We’re heartbroken… but no longer surprised. The abuse so many of these innocent animals endure is simply outrageous. Still, we refuse to look away.

🙏 Bernie was seen. He was helped. And now, he has a chance.
But we can’t do this without you.
📢 If you see something, SAY something. DO something. You might be the only chance a dog like Bernie ever gets.
For now, Bernie is safe. He has a long road ahead — full of recovery, rest, love, and vet care.

🌟 Meet Our Star Wars Litter 🌟

On October 8, we came across a Facebook post about a group of puppies who appeared to have been abandoned. Five little ones, all alone in the middle of nowhere. Though it was already dark, we marked the exact location and headed out first thing the next morning.
And that’s how we found them — scared, hungry, but hopeful.

✨ Welcome to our Star Wars Litter! ✨
🖤 Leia (our only girl!)
🤎 Chewie (Chewbacca)
🖤 Obi-Wan
🖤 Han Solo
🖤 Luke

That’s 4 boys and 1 brave little girl, estimated to be around 2 months old. They were surprisingly excited to see us. A couple were more timid, but with some patience and gentle coaxing, we got them all. No pup left behind. 💪

🐾They’re in decent health overall. Leia has a bit of mange on her tail and ears, but nothing we can’t handle.
They’ve already begun their vetting process — but they won’t be ready for adoption just yet. Over the next few months, they’ll be receiving full protocols:
✔️ Internal deworming
✔️ Puppy and adult vaccines
✔️ Blood & Heartworm testing
✔️ Sterilization
✔️ Flea/Tick/HW preventative meds

For now, they’re safe, loved, and settling in at Puppyland, where they’re making new friends and learning what it means to be part of a pack.
We didn’t plan to take in five more puppies — we already have so many wonderful dogs still waiting for homes. But when we saw how close they were and how desperate their situation was, there was no way we could walk away.
🌌 May the Force be with you, little ones. You are safe now. 🌌

UPDATE: Bolt is home in the US🥹

🚨Amazing News — Bolt is Being Adopted!⚡️🐾
We need your help to get him home!

Bolt, our sweet Boxer, has found his forever family — all the way in California! Normally, this would be a simple trip… but there’s a catch:
✈️ Bolt can’t fly.
As a brachycephalic breed (short-nosed), Boxers like Bolt are restricted from flying — both in cargo and in-cabin — due to serious breathing risks.
So now we’re on a mission:

We need a ground transport hero! 🚗🐶
📍Are you driving from the Bucerias/Puerto Vallarta area to the U.S.?
Bolt’s new family is in California, so any route toward:
San Diego
Los Angeles
Palmdale
or just across the border from Tijuana
…would be ideal!
Nogales, AZ
Yuma, AZ
Bolt’s adopters will cover all expenses, and we’ll make sure all paperwork and vet requirements are 100% in order for a smooth border crossing.

💸 We’ve received quotes from professional pet transporters ranging from $3100–$3600 USD — sadly out of reach.
This may be Bolt’s only chance to get to his new home safely and soon.

👉 Please help us spread the word!
Even if you can’t drive Bolt yourself, sharing this post could reach someone who can.

📩 Contact us ASAP if you or someone you know might be able to help! Let’s get this sweet boy home where he belongs. 💕
