Happy family, happy pup......happy endings!
Riley Nacho MacInnis: adopted Oct 22, 2011Nacho & his littermates had a tough start in life. At just a few days old, still blind, the 5 were found abandoned on the banks of a river. No mama dog was near them & 2 had already died. Some questioned what to do as, bottle feeding puppies is hard, time consuming, expensive and taking in newborn puppies is at least a 2 month commitment. Enter Sue & Gail, foster moms extraordinaire! They took in the 3 pups, had little sleep during the bottle feeding weeks and provided all that these little pups needed. They made a difference and we can’t thank them enough. Nacho loves human attention & is a cuddler, but he also has a mind of his own & is very inquisitive. Please check out the blog(http://3puertovallartapuppies.wordpress.com/the-puppies/) that was kept over the past few months for more information about Nacho, his siblings, his foster moms & their time together. Puppy, who doesn't love a puppy!
Chester: adopted Oct 24th, 2011Chester was rescued by Maria. It is obvious that his life had been extremely difficult. Besides being skinny & covered in ticks & fleas, this little guy was so very afraid. He is now doing better. He loves playing and loves getting/giving love, but he still cowers if there are really loud noises or yelling (he trembles & hides as if afraid he is about to be hit). He also is very afraid of large sticks (mops, brooms, etc). This 2 year old terrier mix is 4.8 kilos and very healthy. He has plenty of energy, but also loves being a couch potato. We think he would do best in a home that does not have small children. A home that is calm so that he will feel secure. He does well with both dogs & cats. If you've been looking for a little guy & have lots of love to give, Chester is looking for you.

after......Nacho traveled to Vancouver Island to find his family and they are amazing. He has a fur sibling and upon arrival knew he was home. He can already be found helping in the kitchen - happy pup, happy family!
after.....Laura saw Chester and fell in love.....trust us it was not a surprise. Chester now has a fur brother, Norris, and a mom that loves him just the way he is. He has a nuturing home where he will learn to trust and have confidence that he is loved. We are so happy that he is getting his second chance to have a happy life.........thank you for helping us to help him.

Zipper (formerly Candy): adopted Oct 7, 2011
Candy was found roaming the streets skinny, matted and with an injured leg. Thankfully, Jeffery scooped her up and got her to the vets. With love and attention this little fully vaccinated & spayed 1 year old has really come into her own. She has lots of energy, loves to play and is still very puppy (can get into trouble if not monitored). She is house broken, crate trained and does well with dogs, cats and kids.
She arrived in Victoria and spent some time looking for her family. The good news is that she finally found them. She now has a few kids and great parents to hang out with every day. What a wonderful happy ending!

Chico (formerly Clyde): adopted Oct 2, 2011
Clyde was found on the street with his sister Bonnie. Abandoned and starving at the street market in La Penit de Jaltemba. They were like little bandits looking for food. They ran under Sarah's car and wouldn't come out. Thankfully they had chosen the right car. She took them in and spent weeks getting them healty and back on track. Clyde has a beautiful black face. He is gentle and is very good with other dogs. They love to run and play, and will make great pups for a family.
They were adopted together by a family on Vancouver Island. They will get to spend their lives together........I couldn't think of a better place for them!

Khloe (formerly Snow): adopted August 16, 2011
Snow is a beautiful medium sized white dog with a beautiful soft coat. She was brought to the vet by someone who wouldn't care for her and thought it best to just have her put down. Mabel from Sabuesos called us and asked if we could take her in. The team at Sabuesos helps make what we do possible and they give us so much we had to say yes. Bonus, she happened to be a great dog too!
We are grateful that a wonderful family from Victoria, BC decided to adopt this energetic little girl. She is having a blast running through the tall grass they have in various parks on Vancouver Island - happy pup = happy family!

Bailey: adopted July 29, 2011
Bailey was living tied by a short rope in the sun with no food or water. She had been beaten by her owner (jerk) and was covered in fleas & ticks. Linda came to her rescue and now Chad has taken up her foster care. Everyone came together to give this little girl a second chance. She is about 9 months old and weighs approximately 18 ibs. She is safe & loved, and now just needs a forever home.
Bailey found her forever home in Puerto Vallarta. She is now happy, loved and an important part of her family. Thanks to all who helped to make this happen!

Lucy: adopted July 21, 2011
Lucy was at a shelter scheduled to be euthanized when an angel appeared & saved her. Tuck & her friend Ramona couldn't let this cute girl die when all she needed was some medicine, love & care. It has been a few months since those bleak days and Lucy has already moved on. She is healthy & ready for her forever family.
Thanks to Jennifer Peters, a wonderful family was found. Enter Leza & Gilberto - they had been looking for the right dog to join their family and Lucy was the perfect match. I love the new family photo - happy, relaxed little lamb amongst her smiling from ear to ear family. This is what love looks like!

Maya: adopted July 22, 2011
Maya, a black lab mix, was found hanging by her neck from a wall in a small town north of Mexico City. She was alive because this smart little girl used her rear feet to brace herself. A wonderful couple rescued her and have been nursing her back to health. Her wounds continue to heal and we expect a full recovery.
The foster family, Angelika & her husband decided to keep Maya. She has found her permanent home with them and their other 4 legged family members. I am certain that she will have a wonderful life with the family that saved her from torture. Thank you to them & to all that make a difference.

Lita (formerly Sophia): adopted July 13, 2011
The final member of the "trash bag" puppies. Sophia is the biggest of the litter. She had a few more health issues, but has conquered them all and is enjoying her new life. She has proven herself to be very smart and ready to learn.
She went to a wonderful foster home and that was how she found her forever family. A friend came to visit, saw this beautiful little girl and knew that she was just the right dog for them. Frodoe, their 3 year old pup, has welcomed her into the family, making sure she is ok in her new home & sleeping nose to nose with her. She gets to swim in a river & has 1.5 acres of fenced yard. YEA!

Diego (formerly Gizmo): adopted July 13, 2011
Another "trash bag" puppy is this cute little boy. He has personality, playfulness, energy, a huge smile and licks for everyone. This little guy has no idea that he was considered trash - he thinks he's all that and then some!
He arrived on Vancouver Island and went to a wonderful foster home before finding his forever home. He now has a wonderful Canadian family to call his own. He gets to romp around like he loves to do with the other 2 doggies in his new family. What a great life he will have!

Perrito (formerly Fiona): adopted July 2, 2011
This sweet little girl was one of the "trash bag" puppies. They were found tied in a plastic bag in a trash pile. Thankfully, Kathleen & Michelle noticed the bag moving, investigated, found the puppies and immediately took them home.
She now has a great family in Sooke, BC. She has a big sister (the 4 legged furry kind) and a wonderful mom that love watching her tear around the house with toys in her mouth. Happy Puppy!!

Mexi (formerly Frida): adopted July 3, 2011
Frida was abandoned outside of Purr Project (wonderful no-kill cat shelter in Puerto Vallarta). They took her in, gave her love, got her on the road to recovery and asked MexPup to help find her forever home. She's was 4 months old and a playful terrier mix. She now lives on Vancover Island with her family and has 3 kids to call her very own. She is a happy little girl that is thankful to have found her forever home, and we couldn't be happier for her & her new pack.
Jaxson (formerly Jackson): adopted July 2, 2011
Another of the "trash bag" puppies, he was the little guy of the group (just don't tell him that). Jackson had a lot of personality and playfulness, but was just as happy sitting in your lap taking in all the love.
He found a wonderful family on Vancouver Island to call his own. This little guy now has 2 little girls to play with everyday and will never have to worry about being discarded as trash. One amazing survivor has joined one great Canadian family........don't you love happy endings?!

Buri: adopted June 2011
Buri was hit by a car and simply left. The local pound picked her up off the street with a sever leg injury and there was fear of the need for amputation. Thankfully, that was not the case and she is recovering beautifully. She just loves running around (check her out on the beach: video). She is a sweet, playful, happy 1 year old pit mix that is housebroken and leash trained. She is gentle and wonderful with everyone (adults, children, cats, other dogs).
So many people searched to find the right home for Buri. After a number of house visits, Zoraya found just the right match for this special girl. She is with her new family getting all the love she deserves.

Lukas: adopted June 18, 2011
Lukas is a 1 year 8 month old lab mix. We had seen him on the streets for a few weeks watching his health & body deteriorate. Even though we focus on small & medium dogs, we couldn't just leave him to get worse. He was in foster care for almost 6 weeks and had a permanent smile on his face & was just a happy guy.
He found his forever family at a PEACE event in Bucerias. He gets to go to work with Armando every night. We know he will love being with his dad and having a "job".

Tequila (formerly Miau): adopted May 2011
She was found at Purr Project - a wonderful no-kill cat shelter in Puerto Vallarta. A little puppy taking refuge from the mistreatment of some misguided young boys. It took a little time to get her healthy, but she was ready to become a Canadian and loves her new home & they love her!
