Baillarina has been at the Catemaco shelter since 2018 and used to shake as she was a distemper survivor. She looked like she was bobbing up and down dancing. So a shelter staff named her 'Dancer' aka "Baillarina" in Spanish. This tiny dancer hasn't been shaking for a couple of years now and is doing very well. She is very healthy and her website bio needs changing. She is no longer showing neurological tremors.
Previously we were worried that the tremors might be mistaken for illness at the border.
6-7 years is a long time to wait for a family. She is about 8 years old and running out of time. So please, if you think you could commit 3-4 years to a sweet medium sized clean female dog with no health problems then ask us questions by email at [email protected] or start the general process for adoption under 'Adoptions' at www.flyingdogscanada.com

Antonio wants to break free and he needs his vet bill paid. We are waiting for the rest of the invoice to get a precise idea of what's to pay. We are hoping to get a little money for him to have on standby. So far, our efforts to raise funds for his bill have fallen a little flat. He was eclipsed by other dogs in need.
Antonio is the stray where his feeder claimed she was a foster parent and he wasn't her dog. He is the one with the foot which got mashed up after a car accident. The objective is to save his paw so he doesn't go in the direction of Biscuit, who lost a paw entirely, while dragging himself on asphalt to compete for food with other strays after being struck by a car.

☆DOG TRIP ALERT☆

Your Soul Mate is already waiting....don't scroll on. Stop a moment and look into the face of your next "heart dog"...you will know who they are.........

These dogs (except Cinnamon & Suzy who already have flight spots) are looking for homes. Our shelter in the Mexican program needs more space. There is no room for these dogs to stay there anymore. They are mature adults who deserve love and happy lives. They are all vaccinated, have had recent dental cleaning, tested negative for heartworm and chagas. All have been taught to walk on the leash. They could be very nice family dogs.

If you think you might consider opening up your heart and home to a reformed stray dog then please do fill out the 'no obligation' application under 'Adoptions' on the website www.flyingdogscanada.com

Antonio is celebrating his neuter with a "During and After" photoshoot.
His twisty ground down foot is healing but he is still at the clinic, where they have been doing a great job of saving his foot.

We would welcome help towards Antonio's vet bill. He has had a rough time on the streets in so much pain, and this time in the clinic getting his mashed foot healed is probably like Disneyland to him.
He is all vaccinated now too.

If you'd like to send a few pennies for him then they will be put to very good use to keep him cared for and comfortable.

Dog of the Day : Juros
*Senior*

This is Juros' last chance to go to Canada for another 10 months (and who knows if he will be as healthy next summer as he is now). We can bring him to Canada in 2-3 weeks but he will need a very special family who understands he is an elderly cancer survivor who might have 2-3 years max to live. So the family needs to be really doing this for Juros ...so he gets a bit of a belonging feeling and knows some one on one love and fuss before he dies. Goodness knows he has had a hard enough 10 years of life already. Time for a nice retirement. He needs to go to BC so that it's not too cold for him as he would not have a lot of weeks to adjust to the climate before winter.
He is healthy, vaccinated, heartworm negative, chagas negative and covered by Bravecto.

Not many people will want to give him a chance. We would love this year for him to experience a Canadian Christmas/Holiday Season clasped to the bosom of a loving family.....

Apply for adoption by submitting the Adoption form at:

www.flyingdogscanada.com

and you can direct your questions to the FDC Rescue Adoptions team at

Please SHARE SHARE and SHARE this post to increase Juros' chances of being seen by someone who might see the value in a Golden Oldie...a canine version of a "Boomer"♡

Sunday 25th August is the next spayday!!! We are still needing sponsorships to reach our goal

Update☆ Sunday, August 25th ( next weekend) is our next Spayneuter Event in Catemaco with Dr Julio Cobaxin Pucheta☆

🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐈‍⬛🐈🐕🦮🐕🐕🐕🐕🐈

Earlier:
If we decided to run another Spayneuter event for 20 animals then would there be any interest from anyone in sponsoring a $35 spay? We need to raise $700 cad in total to spay 20 dogs or cats. Please let us know if you might help so we know if we can keep spaying or not.

If you'd like to reply by sending a $35 spay sponsorship ( or multiples thereof) then we will hold it and see where we stand tomorrow for this or next weekend.

Pinto is so happy to be at the lake. He needs to go there more frequently because he is going bonkers with delight. Sometimes, like this weekend, he lucks out when we have extra shelter staff and volunteers. We have more student helpers at the weekend.
We are a volunteer run Canadian Federal Nonprofit. However we do have to pay Mexican people a nominal amount for shelter/ dog care year round owing to the number of dogs in our care. The better staffed we are the more chance of lake visits for the dogs, the better trained our strays can be to walk at the lake.
Also things like leashes and harnesses are perpetually in short supply.
We know so many of you are so good to the dogs and cats already.

Maybe now isn't a good time to donate so could you SHARE this post as it would mean a lot.

16/08/2024

Today we got a message from an admin of a BC facebook group which lets us share 1 post a week, asking us what we do for Canadian dogs since a lot of our posts have recently been about Mexico since we have 'Canada' in our name.
They were not interested in how many Canadian cats we help owing to 'Dogs' being part of our name.

We are a Canadian federally incorporated non profit.
Axel (see cute photo) is a Canadian dog, born in Canada. We were approached to help him when several more established groups in his area said they could not do so.
Oki and Doki were Canadian dogs born in Canada. We have helped numerous Canadian cats born in Canada.
We have a Canadian foster network not limited to where a dog was born.
We have helped, in Canada, dogs which were sent to Canada by US groups with no safety net, when things went bad with their adopters.
Our nonprofit has been registered since May 2023.
Our spayneuter plans are affected by the fact that we need to reduce our Mexican project shelter numbers and apply for charity status to get the funds needed to do the projects we want to do here at home in Canada. So we are taking things step by step. Earlier this year we tried to find a Canadian shelter location but as yet we haven't had enough funds to proceed.

It would be fantastic to offer up in Canada the same spay events that we offer as part of our Mexican project. We have talked to first nations folks about how this could be received. We have made some contacts. It's a little more complicated than the field events in Catemaco, San Andres & Santiago. However it would be worthwhile.

Right now Axel himself costs us a lot of money and the cats and foster dogs too.

We have ended up being heavily slanted towards helping dogs in Mexico because more Mexican dogs ended up on our radar. It's easy to help Mexican dogs. We have 50 in Mexico still needing homes and only 15 in Canada in foster or boarding care. However those 15 in Canada cost more than the 50 in Mexico. We survive on monthly recurring donations and sponsorships snd general donations. We have had help from Don Cherry's Foundation. So that was a lucky break. They helped with antiparasitics recently.

So I don't know what to tell you? We are filing our first fiscal year and then we will feel better about applying for Charity status. Hopefully our dog numbers will be cut in half by adoption then. That will untie our hands and allow us to apply for funding for specific domestic and international projects.

I'm sorry if some people are unhappy that we don't yet have a Canadian shelter building or relationship with a first nations community. We just help dogs and cats which cross our path and we are volunteer run and we need to complete existing projects to free up funds and get in a position to be a charity to access larger funds. We go slow since it's our first fiscal year as a federal nonprofit. We want to see what we can handle as volunteers. Everything bilingual English/Spanish has been a lot of work for our treasurer Jane and volunteer bookeeper Nadine plus helpers Diane & Michelle. We have so many receipts from 3 countries.

In the meantime, those who want to see more Canadian projects please do write to us if you have ideas of what you would like to see us doing and with suggestions regarding funding. We are open to ideas.

Dog of the Day = Gorda

Gorda's protector died a couple of years ago; the elderly Mexican lady feeding her. She came to us along with four other dogs which had been bereaved. She's about 5 years old.
You couldn't find a sweeter dog and she has a chance to fly to Canada.
What's missing? A family.

Put in a no obligation general application today and ask about Gorda ( it means " Tubby girl")

Dog of the Day = Suzy
Suzy is a lovely, calm, friendly spayed girl. She is fully vaccinated. Heartworm and Chagas tested and negative. We think she is about 3 years old.
History: Her mother was surrended from a hoarder situation where the pups were out in the street in front of the home meeting with accidents. There were two mothers and two litters. Suzy was one of those helpless 4-5 week old puppies. She remembers only kindness from shelter staff. So this lack of remembered trauma would make her a lovely family member to have with children. She can't spend her whole life at the shelter in Mexico.
She can travel in 3-5 weeks. So now is the time to tell us you will give her a chance♡

Please consider Suzy.

Go to " Adoptions" at www.flyingdogscanada.com and apply generally, no obligation. You will have 2 years in which to choose a dog without having to repeat the homevisit.

Sombra is now the dog who has been at the Mexican shelter the longest. It is about 6.5 years.
This is because we don't euthanize for space. So as much as it's not good for a dog to wait so long, we can't just turn them out if they get no interest after being up on our website for YEARS!

Over the years Sombra has moved between our Catemaco shelters, before shelter two closed, and enjoys somewhat of a home life spending time with long time staff and volunteers. However nothing beats a REAL home.
Please consider an 8--9 year old healthy female adult dog to become your family member in your adult home. She likes lake walks and can go anywhere in Canada to the right matched family.

It doesn't hurt to put in a no obligation application by going to ' Adoptions' at www.flyingdogscanada.com
We would be glad to send you videos and tell you all about this sweet girl. Her adoption photo was taken back in 2017/18 and we now have more photos. We love Sombra and she needs all our help.
So please SHARE SHARE SHARE!♡

Nora of Catemaco is now living the life of Carrie Bradshaw of " S*x and the City". She is spayed so it's less S*x and more City. She is getting used to living in comfort and luxury after being a lowly street dog for most of her life. She's loving the balcony!!!( as predicted)
Adoption agrees with little Nora and Donnie & Carrie of Vancouver are delighted with their new furry family member♡
