🚨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!
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. 💕

🍃 SEPTEMBER RECAP 🍃

Another strong month for adoptions—especially during the low season!
We’re thrilled to share that 1️⃣2️⃣ dogs made their way to their forever homes in the U.S. 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦

It truly takes a village to make this happen:

Rounding Out September with Popsicle 🐾

On September 30, we welcomed our final rescue of the month into our care — meet Popsicle.
This sweet girl is only about 10 months old and already she’s been through far more than any dog should endure. We were first contacted after someone saw her in San Vicente, struggling with what appeared to be a severe injury to her back right leg. It was swollen, covered in open wounds, and she wasn’t using it at all. Sadly, seeing an injured dog left to fend for itself is not uncommon in that town. Popsicle wandered off again… unnoticed and unaided.

Then, a few days later, someone spotted her again — this time with a horrific burn wound on her right side. That was the turning point. We were called, and Popsicle was immediately brought to our vet.
The vet believes the burn was caused by hot water (thankfully, not oil — a small mercy in an otherwise terrible situation). As for her leg, we still don’t know what caused the injury — possibly hit or run over. It’s extremely swollen, but nothing is broken. There are also some scrapes on her back left leg, but she can use it well. With time, care, and love, our vet is hopeful she’ll regain full use of her injured leg.

Popsicle has already started her vetting protocols:
✔️ Internal Deworming
✔️ Flea, tick & heartworm prevention
✔️ Blood tests
✔️ First round of vaccines

Despite everything, she remains gentle and trusting — a true puppy at heart. It’s heartbreaking that this kind of neglect and abuse is still happening every day. But Popsicle is one of the lucky ones, because someone did take action.
Now she needs all of us. Let’s give Popsicle the life she should’ve had from the start.
The last few photos already show some healing in progress ❤️‍🩹

We’re at the end of low season, and our resources are stretched thin — but dogs like Popsicle can’t wait. If you’re in a position to help cover her medical care, any amount truly makes a difference.

Welcome BUSTER 🩵

On Friday night, September 26th, this crusty, raw guy decided to make an appearance at Los Amores Plaza in Bucerias. His timing? Absolutely perfect. One of our volunteers, Samara, just happened to be there. Serendipity? We think so. ✨

Meet Buster — a recent rescue and a total character. He’s got demodectic mange, which is non-contagious and caused by mites that naturally live on the skin of most animals. When a dog’s immune system is compromised, those mites can multiply and take over. The good news? It’s treatable—often with just proper flea/tick meds and a boost in nutrition.
It’s been a minute since we’ve had a mange pup, and oh, how we love them. 😍 Watching the transformation of a mange dog is nothing short of magic.

🧪 Health update:
Buster tested negative for distemper, but positive for ehrlichia and anemia. His platelet levels are very low, but he’s now safe at the shelter, getting everything he needs—meds, food, rest, and lots of love.
He’s already showing us his sweet and silly personality—super talkative and a total people-lover. 🐶💬 We can’t wait to see what he looks like once he heals and his coat grows back in!

✨UPDATE: thank you to all who contributed. We received enough to cover the costs!✨

📣 URGENT DONATION APPEAL 📣
Help Us Stop the Cycle of Suffering

Recently, we were contacted about a heartbreaking situation in Pitillal: a woman had a house full of 16 chihuahuas. Unfortunately, she had refused to spay or neuter the dogs, and as a result, they kept reproducing — fast.
As you can imagine, this quickly spiraled out of control.
We knew we had to step in.

Today, with the help of Dr. Poli and Co**ha, we held a sterilization clinic right inside the home to stop the cycle at its source.
This was not a planned expense, but one that was desperately needed.
The total cost of the clinic was $6,200 pesos:
🐾 13 dogs sterilized at $350 pesos each
🐾 3 pregnant dogs at $550 pesos each

We’re now reaching out to you — our amazing supporters — to help us cover the cost of this emergency intervention.
No, we didn’t have to help. But we did.
Because this is exactly what needs to be done to prevent more unwanted litters and keep more dogs from being abandoned in the streets.

💛 Can you help us cover this unplanned but life-saving clinic?
Any donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.
Together, we’re saving lives.

🍝 Welcome Our Little Italy Litter 🇮🇹🤌🏽
On September 22 & 25, three more puppies came into our care — meet Vito, Verona, and Venice!

Vito (black male) was the first to be rescued after being spotted running near Paraiso Vallarta with a cord around his neck. The next day, we saw what appeared to be his mom and two other puppies near our shelter, but unfortunately, we couldn’t catch them.
A few days later, we finally spotted and rescued Verona and shortly after, her sister Venice — both sweet little females. We are still keeping an eye out for their mom and are hopeful we’ll be able to bring her to safety too.

These pups are incredibly social and not timid at all, which leads us to believe they once had owners and were likely abandoned. Sadly, this story connects with a rescue made by our friends Refugio Teca Animals who took in two other puppies from this same litter after they were found near Paraiso Vallarta — where two had been sadly hit by cars/motos.
Between Teca’s two and our three, we now have five surviving siblings from the Little Italy litter, and we’re determined to keep looking for their mom.
We’re not sure what breed mixes they are, but they’re ridiculously cute, estimated at around 4 months old and on the smaller side — likely to grow into small-medium dogs. Vetting has already begun, and we hope they’ll be ready for adoption in the next couple of months.

Lately, it feels like more and more dogs are being found who are severely malnourished. Emaciated, dehydrated, and barely hanging on. It’s heartbreaking — and it’s happening far too often.
On September 16, we welcomed another soul in dire condition 🚑

Meet TAJÍN ✨

Weighing just 5kg, Tajín was rescued from La Misión in a truly devastating state. He was so weak, he couldn’t even stand. He spent a full week at our vet, receiving round-the-clock care just to stabilize him. That’s how close to the edge he was.
Now, he’s safe with us at the shelter❤️‍🩹

Tajín’s list of health challenges is long:
🔹 Severely underweight
🔹 Ehrlichia
🔹 Severe anemia
🔹 Blind in one eye and nearly blind in the other
🔹 Extremely timid and fearful

Despite it all, this little guy is already showing signs of hope. He’s nervous — understandably — but he allows gentle pets if we move slowly and speak softly. We don’t know what he’s endured, but we do know this: he hasn’t had the kindness he deserves.
We’re going to give him that kindness, every single day. We’ll earn his trust, help him heal, and show him what it means to be loved🫶🏽

Tajín will not be available for adoption for quite some time — for obvious reasons. But for now, we’re just grateful he’s alive and finally in a place where his recovery can begin.

September 4, two new rescues came into our care. Welcome Ángel🤍 & Tanner💛

Tanner, a 2 year old male, was rescued with a machete wound on his right side. By the time he was found it was already a couple weeks old so the vet didn’t want to suture it, as it had already started to heal.
Ángel, a 1.5 year old male, had been poisoned and found in the trash. He may have been hit by a car or moto because he has scrapes on his right side and the skin is very black; like a deep bruise/trauma. He was in a coma for 2 weeks while at the vet.
🤍💛
Both dogs were rescued directly by the Nayarit Green Patrol(Patrulla Verde). New to the state of Nayarit, the green patrol is called to investigate and rescue sick or injured dogs only. They do not enter private property or pick up street/stray dogs unless they have significant needs. They rescued these two at different times/places and got them to a vet. The problem is there is no municipal (government funded) shelter for dogs in Nayarit, so they had nowhere for these dogs to go. They stayed at the vet in small kennels for 3 weeks. Finally after having a meeting with them, we agreed to accept these two. We asked for help from the government so we would be able to accept more dogs from them as space allows at our shelter. This makes it very difficult for us as a private shelter. We are fully funded off donations and adoption fees. Without government support, we can’t openly accept dogs at any time. We too are continually rescuing dogs on our own. We are limited with our resources, help and space. We also want our dogs to have the attention and care they deserve so we have boundaries in place and limits set as things can quickly get out of hand with too many dogs and not enough resources.
🤍💛
For now, both Ángel & Tanner are doing really well with us. Both have healed, been sterilized, vaccinated and have completed vetting protocols. They are now both available for adoption.
