A Dog's New Life AC

22/01/2025

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!

UPDATE: BONES HAS TRANSPORT👏🏽

🦴BONES🦴 the story continues…

We were able to move Bones to a new emergency foster in Seattle, THANK YOU! But we still need additional help🤎

Bones needs to come back to us to be evaluated by our vet due to some joint issues. We simply can’t afford US vet care. We have tried since early December to get him adopted, as his original home does not want a dog with joint issues.
We have his flight booked to return to us January 20 from PDX and we have a Portland foster lined up until that day. But we need transport help! 🚙💨

He needs to be transported from Seattle to Portland on January 17. He’s around 45lbs and his travel crate will also be with him. Please help us spread the word so we can find a ride for him!! We are also working to see if a rescue partner in Oregon will be able to take him on and care for him but we won’t know until end of the week. He needs to get to Portland no matter what.

If you can help, comment or contact us asap!

🗣️PV bound travelers from VANCOUVER/YVR

We really need help getting dog crates back to our rescue. We have an adopter who has been gracious enough to pick crates up for many months and store them in her garage.

Crates are a big expense to us and very valuable. We use them to fly the dogs, transport, for houses at the shelter and for use at sterilization clinics. It’s vital we get these back to be able to reuse them.

We are seeking WESTJET travelers, possibly Air Canada (not Flair or Sunwing due to expense) who’d be willing to bring a stack or two as checked luggage. Stacks are generally 3 crates. The crates would be dropped off to you at YVR, if not beforehand and one of us would meet you at PVR to pick them up. We will reimburse for any checked bag charges or customs fees.

Can you help? Please contact us to arrange!

Welcome to our newest little ladies, the Bucerias 5
🐶
We were contacted by a few different people Sunday night about 5 abandoned female puppies. Left in a fruit basket on Francisco Madero street, they were already out of the basket and in the street. Sadly we had to tell everyone we couldn’t take them due to lack of funds. One of the women was able to donate to their initial care so we then said yes and received them Monday morning.
🐶
Estimated at 2 months old, all 5 are female. They have already been internally dewormed, sprayed for fleas and blood tested. They will undergo full protocols before being ready for adoption in 2-3 months.
🐶
We try really hard to not reuse names on dogs. That proves quite difficult when we have rescued thousands and normally have 140+ in our care. We know many adopters change their names anyway so we like to have a little fun with the process. Often naming them based on where they were found or in groups which correlate to their rescue. Our Bucerias 5 includes some popular Bucerias restaurants! Named in the order they’re posted:
Sandrina Sandrinas Restaurant and Boutique
Triskell
Sukha
Toscana
Baklava
🐶
It hurts our hearts when we are messaged daily with dogs who need help. The flow of puppies has not slowed down since the summer. We have to be realistic about what we’re doing and how we operate. Donations are lower than they’ve ever been. We have some difficult cases which have gotten very expensive (Tux, his costs continue to rise) and we have to be able to pay our vets. We need to be able to feed our dogs, keep their vet care on track and pay our staff. Adoptions were strong in early November and now almost nothing. With little money coming in we simply can’t keep helping more dogs. We must be able to care for the ones we already have, some who will live with us a lifetime. Those costs don’t go away. Please understand when we can’t help a dog or dogs, it means we really can’t. At least these 5 are now safe and will be loved and cared for.

Jupiter made his way from Puerto Vallarta to Calgary 2 weeks ago. He’s currently in a foster home with 2 of his siblings and a senior dog and he’s available for adoption.
6 month old male, ~30lbs. We do not know his dad but mom was 44lbs(adopted to BC).
We expect he will be 45-50lbs maximum. He is more on the submissive, quieter side and would make a great addition to any home. We included a picture of his mom (last pic)

✨vaccinated
✨neutered
✨internally dewormed
✨current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention
✨blood & heartworm tested

Please help us share so we can find him his forever family!
You can apply from our website or contact us to arrange a meeting with his foster.
