🚨FOSTER NEEDED🚨

📍 current location: VICTORIA, BC

Ross had his chance to leave the shelter on February 28. We need to make a change of fosters so looking for anyone in Victoria, BC or anywhere on the island.
🤍
He’s about 20lbs and a tripod. He loves humans and other dogs. He is also available for adoption of course.
If you can help us spread the word or can help with fostering until adopted, please contact us! Our rescue will do all the promotion to find him a permanent home ASAP.
🤍
Ross was hit by a car in Puerto Vallarta which shattered his rear legs. He had surgery on both but one failed so he required an amputation.

🐶🩷4 more pups rescued in February🩷🐶

Welcome to our “P” pups…
PAYA, PAISLEY, PEONY, PRIYA

Why “P”? P as in Parvo. We were contacted February 22 after a couple found these 4 on the side of the road in Valle. They were immediately taken to our vet where they tested positive for Parvo. Everyone in dog rescue knows how horrible this diagnosis can be.
🩷
Thankfully they’re doing well after a one week stay with our vet, getting much needed medications and care. They are now with us at the shelter but still are being isolated for the time being.
🩷
Estimated around 4.5-5 months, these big eared ladies will be start vetting protocols and hopefully be available for adoption by the end of April at the latest. Any of them can be applied for and reserved now. Especially knowing our WestJet flights to Canada stop for the summer by May 15…if they’re reserved we can start to look for flights!
🩷
We count on your support to keep saving these lives!

We are trying to keep up with posting all the new rescues. February has literally been insane. We’re up to 25 new rescues for this month alone. We’ve already had many adoptions this month but the new rescues are really outweighing us.

February 26, while Yurem was dropping off trash at 8-830pm, he discovered this box of 8 puppies; 4 males, 4 females. We have no idea how long they had been out there, but they were stressed out and panting. That means instead of asking us for help, someone decided it was ok to put these puppies by our shelter garbage for us to find, and simply leave.
Yes, we understand their intentions were good and they know we will care for them. But how about spay the mom instead of dumping your “problems” on us?? It’s so simple with all the ongoing free clinics across the Bay.

Covered in fleas, full of worms and talkative little monsters, they are safe. They’re estimated at 2 mths old. They’ve been sprayed for fleas and have started internal deworming and are negative to parvo and distemper.
We assume they’ll be medium-large but have no idea since we don’t know the parents. All we can hope is they stay healthy and finish protocols and get adopted quickly. We have so many pups who have come in just as young and have now been with us over a year. Some days it really feels like it never ends…

But, we keep marching on…💪🏽

‼️WARNING-more GRAPHIC IMAGES‼️

The morning of February 25 we were contacted asking to help a dog who had been badly injured. After seeing the pics we rushed to help.

Welcome STRIPER 🐅
Age: 2-3 yrs
Weight: 17kgs

It’s not fully clear how Striper sustained this injury but we suspect he was hit by a car but can’t be sure. He’s a street dog who people know and feed (and they named him), who lived back behind Los Arroyos Verdes in Bucerias. Apparently he was fine in the early morning and when someone went to feed him they saw him like this under this suburban.

His rescue was a bit tough but after getting a leash on him and getting him to calm down, as well as all the other dogs around him, we were able to put him in our car and rush to the vet. The vet said nothing was broken. He did take X-rays to confirm. He tested negative to distemper and has slightly low platelets (erlichea).
He will heal but the vet estimates it will take a month for the tissue to grow back. He stayed at the vet and will hopefully be released to our care by Saturday. He will then need to stay in a clean, tiled kennel to ensure proper healing as we continue with wound care.

We can’t imagine the pain he endured and the panic with the rescue. But he knew we were there to help. He was so gentle and relaxed the moment we arrived to the vet. He will continue with vetting protocols and once healed he will be neutered.

We appreciate any donations to his care including towards the 4 nights of staying at the vet. Costs add up quickly when they stay with our vet.

‼️WARNING-GRAPHIC IMAGES‼️

Friday we came across a Facebook post about a dog who had likely been abandoned in an area of Puerto Vallarta. She had been there 3 days and nobody knew who she was. It was clear she needed help, with our best guess being that she had TVT (transmissible venereal tumors).
Quickly we were informed there wasn’t one but yet another female in the area who also needed help. So we accepted both without hesitation.
Saturday February 22, both females were transported to our vet where it was confirmed they both have TVT.

Welcome to our pack 🍹MAI & TAI🍹

Both dogs are safe at the shelter after having their initial exams. Mai, the larger of the two, also has erlichea. She has multiple tumors across her body which look like holes.
Tai, the smaller of the two is estimated to be over 10 years old and she has been spayed, as she has a tattoo.

TVT is a highly contagious STD which causes cancerous tumors across the body and it’s spread easily from dog to dog when they live in the streets. If not caught early enough it can be fatal. We have seen and treated MANY cases of TVT, actually much worse than either of these girls so we are very optimistic about their treatment.

Tai had her first chemotherapy yesterday and Mai will start tomorrow. A quick guess is both will need over 10 treatments. The good news, it’s curable! The bad news, it’s not cheap to treat. From the medication Vincristine to the administration, costs quickly add up. Both girls are kenneled together and isolated as they can’t be around other dogs while contagious.

We could really use some support for these two. They have a long road ahead of them but we’re sure they know we are here to help and that they feel loved.

You can donate directly from our website:

We’re thankful for so many recent adoptions which helps us create more room to help dogs in great need like these two.

RIP BENITO🌈💔🐾🕊️

We helped Benito cross the rainbow bridge on Friday February 14. We received him at our vet on February 13. He came from Ixtapa, after being reported on Facebook as needing immediate help.
🌈
Possibly one of the worst sarcoma cases we have seen, his condition was untreatable. We don’t know if we could’ve helped him had he been reported sooner. What we do know is no living being deserves to be in this pain. He was struggling to breathe and his body was ravaged by tumors. We knew why we were brought into his life.
🌈
One of the saddest things is he had owners. They couldn’t afford treatment so were using the purple antiseptic spray on his tumors, which of course wasn’t helping. After being rescued they asked that nothing bad happen to him and wanted his life to be left in the hands of God. We surely aren’t God but we also aren’t cruel and knew his suffering couldn’t continue.
We’re sorry we couldn’t do more for you.
Rest in Peace Benito😔🌈

Monday Feb 10 we were contacted by a previous employee about a dog who lived near him. A dog with owners😫

Welcome 💙TOBY💙

From Bucerias, Toby’s owners allowed us to take him. They surrendered him to us realizing we could give him the care he so desperately needs. We kept the name he knows.
🩵
Of course as so many do, he has erlichea (tick borne illness). Thankfully it’s easily treatable. He’s missing a lot of fur from being covered in fleas; dermatitis. His fur should grow back no problem once the fleas have stopped attacking him. He was sprayed and given Nexgard Spectra right away.
His right front leg is completely non-functional. He’s not in pain as it’s an old injury. But he has no use of the leg or paw at all. He will need an amputation. And of course he needs to be neutered.
🩵
Yes, another dog owned and in these conditions. We will never understand…💔
He’s estimated at 4 yrs old and around 13kg. He’s eating well and drinking water but he’s definitely a bit depressed. We hope soon he will feel our love and be happy again. Right now we’re letting him decompress and get used to his new home.

If you’d like to donate to Toby’s upcoming vet bills including his amputation and neuter, you can do so from our website:

Welcome ✨CRUZ✨

This distinguished gentleman came into our care on January 28. We were contacted after a couple watched a man tie him up to a tree, in broad daylight in La Cruz, and walk away. Immediately the dog was howling and crying so the couple went to untie him before contacting us.
✨
We often say we focus on sick and injured dogs who need the most help and we can’t always help dogs simply because they’ve been abandoned. Thankfully, due to many recent adoptions we were able to accept Cruz into our care.
✨
Cruz immediately settled in at the shelter. He’s estimated to be one year old and is extremely social and playful. He loves all people and all dogs. Unfortunately, due to breed restrictions he cannot fly to the US or Canada. He can be adopted and driven out but he is also available locally right here in the Bay. We’d love nothing more than to see him find his forever home! He really is awesome!
✨
If you’d be interested in giving this great dog a great home you can apply from our website. If you would like to come meet him, contact us to arrange a visit.

We often wonder how many people pass by dogs wishing they could do something, but don’t. Wishing someone could help them. Not realizing they could be that someone. Simply saying “poor dog” and going about their day. A man named Enrique couldn’t pass by one more time. He took it upon himself to rescue this boy and contact us.
January 28 we welcomed K**e (pronounced Kee-Kay); named after his rescuer🥹
✨
K**e was in the streets of La Mision. Believe it or not, he had an owner. Enrique offered help before and they declined. This time, there was no asking. This dog was suffering in the streets with nobody helping him.
✨
He’s not estimated to be that old, around 5 years. Besides being malnourished, he has erlichea, anaplasma, bladder stones(peeing blood) and old injuries on his back legs. He has very little strength in his hind end. Likely he was hit by a car in the past. Our vet thinks the injuries are old and there’s nothing we can do other than get him healthier and stronger to see if he gains some use back.
✨
He’s been comfortably resting at our shelter and seems to loves his dog beds and big duvet. He’s eating well and LOVES visitors. He’s quite the talker too. If he wants you to come visit, he will tell you!
✨
We have no doubt we can get him in much better shape. With meds, high quality nutrition and love. He will never be have to feel lonely and disregarded again. Thank you Enrique, who also rescued Maxwell, Bubu and Hipo who were in our care.

🚨SEARCHING for OWNERS🚨

2 days ago this white beauty appeared by someone’s home in Bucerias, in the Golden Zone. She was dirty and covered in stickers, as if she had run through a field. She was very nervous, not accustomed to being in the streets.
🤍
After being posted on a local fb group with no one stepping up, we decided to help her. We are 100% convinced she has an owner; or had…we hate to think someone tossed her out.
🤍
Today we picked her up and took her to our vet. She’s very healthy, estimated to be around 1 year old and 22kg. She also appears to have been spayed(no tattoo but a small scar). She is now safe at our shelter and we are letting her decompress. Before we can make her available for adoption we want to be absolutely sure she doesn’t have owners looking for her.
🤍
Please help us spread the word and share in the Bay. She could be lost, stolen or even dumped. We don’t know. We will require proof of ownership should anyone come forward.
🤍
Thank you to the ladies who protected and named her. Welcome Stella, we will find your owners or we will get you the best ones we can.

We were contacted a couple months ago by some men working on the new toll road outside of Bucerias. They had encountered three different moms with three litters of puppies. The moms kept moving the puppies so they were difficult to locate. They did bring us two puppies who survived from one litter, back in November. Those girls are doing well and both are pending adoption!! As time went on they were losing track of the other litters.
🐶
We had planned on receiving 9 puppies from one of the remaining moms. As with the other puppies, by the time the men were able to locate them most were not around; either having died or run away. But they were able to bring us 3!
Welcome to our 3 newest toll road pups:
KHALIFA-female, white with black spots
BALTHASAR-male, brindle
MELCHOR-male, white and tan

They have been in our care since January 07. Vetting protocols have started and they’re estimated to be 2.5 months currently. All are doing great and acting exactly how puppies should. However, we do want to share a first for our rescue.
🐶
One day after arriving, Melchor went from acting normal to not being able to walk. It was as if he was paralyzed. When the ticks were being picked off his body on day 1 it was noted how they looked “different” than the ticks we’re used to seeing. Testing was done and came back positive for Lyme disease; our first case!
This is what cause him to be paralyzed. Thankfully it is treatable with antibiotics, like other tick borne illnesses. Within a week he was back to normal and walking again. You’d never know what the little guy had been through and it broke our hearts to see him unable to move. Our vet confirmed the ticks he had were those which can carry Lyme. It’s not surprising since he was found in the middle of nowhere.
🐶
These 3 should be ready for adoption by early March. They can be applied for now and reserved. We anticipate they’ll be medium sized. If you’re looking for a friend sooner, we have MANY other pups and dogs who are ready for homes.

January 06 we were contacted about 2 abandoned puppies. Someone found them on the highway near Sayulita, in a closed box📦

Welcome SAYU (black female) & LITO (all ears male) 🐾
These two were estimated at 3 months old when they came into our care. Now with us for 2 weeks, they are feeling good, have started vetting protocols and are 100% puppy! They love being held and play, play, play…
🐾
They should be ready for adoption in a couple more months. Not knowing the parents we can’t fully predict how big they’ll be. Sayu will likely be small-medium while Lito will be medium sized. If interested in either pup, you can apply now and they can be reserved until vetting is completed and they’re ready to travel.
Or if you’re looking for a new best friend sooner than later, we have many other pups to choose from who are close to or fully ready for adoption!
