💛JUNE💛
3 years old, TVT(transmissible venereal tumors), erlichea, anemia, malnourished, distemper survivor

Friday, one of our volunteers, Samara, spotted this female on the north side of Bucerias, in the Los Picos area. It was pretty clear she needed our help ASAP. She was very frightened but was hungry. She found safety under a trailer so food and water were left for her.
Karen then went to also try and gain her trust. Slowly she did until a man scared her off. A few hours later she went back and walked for an hour only to find her in another location. Again, trying to gain her trust, but not being successful. A construction worker threw a bottle at her, hitting her, so she was terrified 😡

We posted her to some local Facebook groups Friday asking for anyone to contact us if she was spotted. Both ladies went back Saturday with no luck of seeing her in the area.

Thankfully on Sunday morning, someone did see her, in a park in the Terralta 1 development. That means she somehow crossed the busy 200 highway and managed to not be hit!!
Karen rushed over and with the help of another couple she was cornered and grabbed! We’re so lucky 3 sides of the park were enclosed so she couldn’t run off again.

June is now safe at our shelter. She saw our vet first for blood and distemper tests. She’s getting antibiotic injections for 3 days and will be starting her chemo yet this week. We’d expect she will need at least 6 treatments, likely more.
We did not initially realize she was a distemper survivor until she was laying down and relaxed. While petting her, we saw the tick (muscle twitching) on her front left leg. This poor babe has had a rough life. She does not exhibit any twitching when doing anything else, only when fully relaxed and sleeping.

We’re so appreciative someone saw our post and reached out when they noticed her. We can already tell she’s a wonderful dog. Her little nubby tail is even wagging for us now!

Do you have Alaska Airlines miles you’d like to donate to us? 🛫🛬

We have adopted dogs waiting now to travel to Seattle and often Portland. Being low season, there are less travelers and less nonstops, but they do exist!

Unfortunately we can’t afford to buy tickets for humans traveling but with your donated miles we can take the dogs ourselves or find someone to make a quick trip.
If you’d like to donate miles for a ticket, even one way, or purchase a one way ticket for someone on our team, you’d be helping a pup get to their forever home!

Contact us if you can help. Or, if you’re flying to Seattle or Portland on Alaska Airlines nonstop, consider being a Flight Angel. You can sign up with the link below🛫🛬

UPDATE: we have been offered miles for a one-way ticket to Seattle. We’d prefer June 14, but if there are no offers, we can try for June 21. We would only ask that you take one to two dogs for us!!!

🛫We have 3 more dogs pending adoption! We’d love to get them home sooner than later🛬 Chorizo, Ava & Tai

We need nonstop travelers, Puerto Vallarta to SEATTLE on Alaska airlines. These 3 are ready to go!! We arrange all details and paperwork and the adopters will meet you at SEA-TAC.

6️⃣ more dogs officially adopted in May!

🥳ZURY, PRIYA, SUPERMAN, VENUS, TOSCANA & TOBY🥳

We’re always a little sad to see them go but we know our mission. More adoptions means we can continue to support the dogs in our care and help more in need.
We wish all these pups nothing but the best in their new lives.
🥳
Thank you volunteers, flights angels fosters and adopters. Extra thanks to those adopters willing to travel a little bit farther to get their dogs, whether by car or plane! 🚙✈️

We currently have 1️⃣4️⃣4️⃣dogs in our care. We welcomed 1️⃣1️⃣ new rescues into our care for the month of May. And we are still adopting dogs out! Small dogs can travel year round. We continue to fly crated dogs to the US west coast over the summer. If you’re in Canada and can pick up in the US or at the Peace Arch Park, we can get your dog there to the neutral zone for US/Canada.

Today we had a visit from some of our local policía. Don’t worry, they weren’t interested in us 🤣👮🏽‍♂️👮🏽 But they were interested in helping some puppies in need.
👮🏽‍♂️
While out on their normal routes, in the middle of nowhere San Vicente, near a river/canal, they came across 7 tiny puppies. Instead of ignoring them, they came straight to us. First, to ask if we could accept them. When we said “OF COURSE”, they went back and rescued them, bringing them directly to us. We truly admire the respect from these officers to not expect us to help and to ask first, but also not to ignore the helpless puppies and go back and get them on their own. There is no municipal or government run shelter in Nayarit. We’re thankful the officers knew where we are located.
👮🏽
These babies are tiny, fitting in the palms of our hands. 7 in total, all in that small crate. They’re estimated to be 4 weeks old. We immediately gave them food and water and loaded them back up for a vet visit. They were dewormed and are now offsite at a home for 15 days. That’s the time period in which parvo and distemper could present so we can’t have them at the shelter. Even around already vaccinated puppies, we must be extra cautious to protect all dogs in our care.
Currently the runt isn’t doing the greatest but we will do our best to make sure all survive. Who knows how long those poor babes were out there alone with no way to eat or drink.
👮🏽‍♂️👮🏽
We’d like to believe it was their lucky day. Lucky number 7…
We will continue to update everyone on our newest litter. In the meantime, let’s hope they all pull through! These 7 put us up to 145 dogs in our care and low season has just begun…

UPDATE: still need Vancouver nonstop on Air Canada or Seattle nonstop on Alaska

We are STILL searching for flight angels!
✈️
We really need everyone’s help to share these posts. Yes, it’s low season but dogs are still being adopted and people are traveling!
✈️
We will arrange all details to make it as seamless of a process as possible. Adopters are waiting for their dogs as well as the shelter is funded off adoption fees so it’s crucial to get these pups into their homes. All four for these dogs are ready and waiting to go!!
✈️
We need nonstop flights out of Puerto Vallarta:
VANCOUVER-Air Canada (Saturdays only)
SEATTLE-Alaska Airlines
EDMONTON-WestJet (Saturdays only)

COMMUNITY SERVICE 🫶🏽

For the past two years, we have helped care for a handful of dogs living at a grass/sod farm, not far from the shelter. We were first alerted to them when a staff member went by and saw some dogs in poor conditions. The caretaker of the farm said all the dogs had either been abandoned or showed up. 3 of the sickest we took into our care and those have all been adopted(the pasta litter🍝)
🫶🏽
The property caretaker moved and left the dogs behind and a new worker came in and is living there. Jessica continues to go there weekly to give them food. There are 5 dogs and now one puppy who showed up with its mom. They have been sterilized (not the pup yet), vaccinated, continue to get dewormed and are given flea/tick meds regularly. Recently the black one had to see the vet for an ear infection.
🫶🏽
We leave the dogs there because they are happy and it’s now their home. As you can see, it’s such a beautiful place for them! They’d not be nearly as happy if they came to the shelter. Not every dog needs to be rescued and in the shelter. Dogs can thrive if we all put in effort to care for them, even if they’re living on the streets.
🫶🏽
Helping these dogs comes directly out of donations from our supporters. They may not physically be with us but they will continue to be our responsibility. We will not leave them behind! Currently everyone is up to date on vetting and the puppy will continue to go through vaccine protocols and be spayed once she’s a bit older.
🫶🏽
We are happy we can help these dogs who otherwise would have been forgotten. If you’d like to help us continue with our community service program, you can donate directly from our website.
