UPDATE: much appreciation to Dina Artzt for her donation which covered the clinic costs and more!🙏🏽

Today we held another spay/neuter clinic! We recently had a clinic 3 weeks ago but with so many new rescues and some puppies who were now ready, it was time again. ✂️🪡 🐾

11 of our shelter dogs were completed today; 5 females and 6 males. Two more will be done this week but they will need to go to the vet’s office. Joy has a bladder stone she needs removed and Peluso needs his teeth cleaned. It’s much easier to do those at the same time as the sterilization in an office setting. We had one puppy who couldn’t be done today due to a cough
✂️🪡
If anyone would like to contribute towards today’s expenses it would be greatly appreciated! 11 dogs at $350 pesos/dog gave us a total cost of $3850pesos for today. Plus we will have extra expense for the other two going in this week.
You can donate directly from our website (multiple options, link in bio):

Huge thanks to the Bucerias Summer Pickleball Group! Today they generously donated $5500mxn, which will go straight to Sparky's care, our beloved community service dog. We're grateful for support from our local community.

Sparky is at our shelter, receiving chemotherapy for TVT. You can see his original post on our page from last week.

There’s no sign of slowing down with the start of a new month🏃🏼‍♀️💨 September 01 we welcomed our first new rescue of the month.
Welcome CHIPOTLE🌶️

This starving pup was posted on Facebook after showing up by someone’s home in the Santa Fe neighborhood of San José. They thought he may have had an owner as they said he had a mark on his neck from being tied. ANOTHER emaciated pup who was covered in ticks; the majority you cant see in the photos. Chipotle, a male, is estimated to be 8 months old.
🌶️
Surprisingly his blood work was decent other than being quite anemic. After giving him a Simparica Trio immediately, it was like a mass exodus of ticks off his body. So many ticks🥴We know that means he will definitely need to be blood tested again in about a month as he will likely need to be treated for erlichea, a tick born illness treated with antibiotics. It hasn’t shown up yet on his testing but with hundreds of those critters on him, it likely will with a bit more time.
🌶️
He’s a very sweet pup who’s extremely needy right now, almost to the level of panic. He wants to cling to anyone who will give him attention and love. He will not leave the side of our director. We think, by the way he acts, he for sure had an owner and was traumatized by possibly being abandoned. Based on his appearance he could’ve been on his own for awhile. We do believe he will settle down with more time when he knows we’re the good guys. For now we will give this boy what he needs and hope he can heal from the trauma he’s endured at such a young age.
We’re estimating he will be medium sized, probably on the leaner side. He looks like a redbone coonhound. The last photo of him was taken today(Sept 4).

Community Service-SPARKY🧨

Many people in Bucerias might recognize this old man. He has lived on Estaciones near Invierno for years and has owners. About 1.5 weeks ago, one of our volunteers spotted him with concern of a lesion on his p***s and thinking he was spray painted. Most of us with the rescue have known Sparky quite awhile; years, so recommended she locate and talk with his owners about him needing help.
🧨
He was not spray painted. The purple is a commonly used antiseptic spray in Mexico. Often called “surfer spray” as it works great on cuts and abrasions. His owners were trying to help him the best they could by using the spray. They were very receptive to the help which was offered to get him to our vet.
🧨
Unfortunately he has TVT (transmissible venereal disease). The good news, it’s very treatable especially when caught early. It’s a highly contagious STD in dogs who are not sterilized which causes cancerous tumors and lesions on their body, starting on their ge****ls. He’s now been with us 8 days. He needed some injections first to help with his blood levels and kidneys before chemo starts tomorrow.
🧨
Why community service? Sparky has owners and several people on the street by his home who help care for him. Many who have shown concern for his well being since we received him. He is not an unwanted dog so there’s no reason to keep him. The family and others simply were not aware of what was going on with him. It’s easy to ask why they didn’t take him to a vet or to be angry but we must remember many Nationals do not have money for vet care. They did what they thought would help by using the spray. They had no education on TVT or why he has it. He will be fully vetted by us and will return to his home once ready. Sparky is a really nice dog and we’re happy to be helping another dog from right here in Bucerias.
🧨
We’re seeking donations to help cover his full care: $15,000pesos
Deworming int/ext, blood tests, vitamins/meds pre-chemo, chemo(min 6 rounds likely more), vaccines and neuter. And food while he’s with us for a couple months.
We recoup some costs with adoption fees but he will be going back home so we won’t have that to rely on to help with his care. We’d really appreciate any support and help towards his care. We currently have 145 dogs in our care.

Some of the worst rescue cases we encounter are dogs who have owners, like these two little peanuts. October 21 we received these two female chihuahuas.
Welcome 💖TIPI & JOY💖

Tipi & Joy had a home, an owner. They came to us all the way from Tepic. Sometimes when their owner would leave the house, they’d find a way out where a kind woman would feed them. Their condition continued to deteriorate so she finally posted them asking for help. We were able to find transport for them from Tepic to Bucerias.
💖
TIPI-black/white, 1 year old, 2kg
JOY-cinnamon, 8 years old, 2kg

Both are underweight, Joy much more so. They have extremely long nails. Joy is missing most of her teeth. She’s also currently being treated for an infection as she’s peeing blood. They were very nervous when they arrived. Now both are out with the other dogs and doing quite well. Joy seems to be a bit more timid/cautious initially to people.
💖
Vetting protocols have been started on both girls. What does this mean for a dog who comes into our care? Vet visits, blood tests, heartworm tests, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, internal deworming, vaccines, sterilization (when healthy). Medications as needed for any sickness/infections. Dentals as needed. And of course good nutrition to gain some weight. This is where costs add up for the dogs and continue for as long as they’re in our care.
These two won’t be ready for adoption immediately but should be soon. You can check our website, where they’ll be posted and available when ready.
**they will only be availabe as a bonded pair**

PELUSO🐾

August 21 we received this little gentleman into our care. We were contacted by a family from Puerto Vallarta, asking for help. The family said their aunt, the owner of Peluso, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and unable to keep him. The family could not keep him either. Not our usual “rescue” but timing is everything and we had space. And this guy definitely needs some vet care.
🐾
Peluso is 8 years old and 8kg. He needs to be neutered. His blood platelets are slightly low, but not horrible. He has an old injury to his mandible/jaw. It was broken at some point; hit by something, a car? He never received treatment so nothing can be done now. His teeth badly need to be cleaned. He is not blind but there’s concern he may go blind from another untreated condition where the eyes turn solid black; pigmentation keratitis. We will continue to work with our vet and see what we can do for him.
🐾
We should be able to have him ready for adoption pretty quickly. We’d love him to get back into a home since he came from one. This brings up another important point. Please, plan for someone to care for your animals should something happen to you. Dogs from a home do not deserve to go to a shelter. Make a plan, have an additional backup. You never know when something can happen and you should know your pets will be cared for if something does.

💙TUCO & LANA🩷

2 new rescues joined our ADNL family on August 20. Pretty easy to understand why, simply seeing their pictures.

1 week earlier, we had spotted the tiny female, Lana, near Paraisio Vallarta (Mezcales area). She would not allow herself to be caught. So tiny and out there all alone; or so we thought.
💙🩷
The day of rescue both were spotted and we were not going to let them get away. So here we are with two of the sweetest dogs around. We assume they had been abandoned but have no idea how long there were alone.
🩷Lana is estimated to be 10 months old. She’s teeny tiny and underweight. A very shy puppy.
💙Tuco is estimated to be 2 years old. As we say in Mexico, he’s completely “in the bones”. There’s no way he could’ve survived much longer in his state. He also has mange. He is also heartworm positive so we will try to treat him when he’s healthier.
💙🩷
While both were nervous when they arrived, they quickly warmed up. Sitting in their kennel, just being with them, they slowly came out and started giving kisses. This is everything for us🥹These are the moments we strive for. It’s when we truly know we are making a difference for them. Terrified, starving, abandoned, neglected and within no time they knew we only wanted to help them❤️‍🩹

It will be some time before these two are available for adoption. For now, we will focus on their health; both mental and physical❤️‍🩹Good nutrition, medication, rest and above all lots of love and attention! These poor dogs have gone through so much. We really wish they could talk and tell us their stories. No looking back now. The new chapter has begun and the rest of the novel is yet to be written🖊️📖💙🩷
