Waffles: In a PV foster & looking for a loving home |
Kira: In a PV foster & looking for a forever home

![]() PEACE Animals spay & neuter clinics are a key to the work being done in the Puerto Vallarta area to end the suffering of animals. These mobile clinics are on the front lines each week going into the communities where help is needed with not only the medical services provided, but also education. We are big supporters of this group, and are so amazed by the work they do. Yesterday during a clinic in El Palmar Del Progresso, a dog wandered into the clinic and went straight into a crate. Animals are amazingly smart. This sweet girl was in trouble, needed help and found people that she hoped would do something for her. She was 100% correct. Maria was volunteering at the clinic so she asked one person who asked another person and before you knew it, Waffles had a new foster home and became a MexPup. Waffles definitely needs our help. It is easy to see in the photos that she is suffering from mange. Thankfully it is the non-contagious type, but she still has extremely swollen feet and cracks in the skin all over her body. She is alert and has clear eyes, but is extremely weak. Throughout the entire process and while meeting lots of new people, this sweet pup continued to try and wag her tail. She was so happy to be rescued, to be safe and to have people caring for her. Waffles is about 1.5 years old and weighs 17 kilos. She will remain at the vets for a few days until stable and then will continue her recovery in a foster home. Please consider helping Waffles by making a donation to her care: in Canada via etransfer to Karen@mexpup.com , in Puerto Vallarta donations can be made directly at Mascotas Vet Clinic with Dr. Manuel or Sabuesos Vet Clinic with Dr. Paco, in the US and other location via our paypal link which can be found at www.mexpup.com. This lovely girl deserves a chance at a great life. Please help us to make that possible.
Update February 2017: Waffles is doing great in her PV foster home. She is happy, healthy and ready for adoption. Waffles does ok with some dogs, but she should be the only pet in her forever home (no dogs or cats). We think she would do best with an experienced, confident owner. She is a great dog, but is an alpha so needs guidance & leadership. We are so happy that her recovery has gone so well and now were excited for her to find a family to call her own! |
![]() Meet Kira !
A gorgeous 3 year old, husky, white shepherd mix of sorts. Kira was being kept on a persons patio and was being neglected, laying out in the hot son in mexico - no place for a dog with as much fur as her ! She was skinny and dirty, but once Nayeli and her team took Kira into care she started to get healthy and blossom into the beautiful dog she is. Kira is an amazing dog. She loves people and very happily greets strangers who come to the shelter she is in. She also interacts with children daily as young as aged 3 and is sweet although sometimes forgets her size so kids a little older may be a better option. Kira does well on walks, and is an extremely intelligent dog. She has no food, toy or sleeping area possession or aggression. If she really loves a person she may get a little jealous if other dogs come to get attention while she is getting it but she does not fight she just gives them a little snap to tell them off. This can be corrected. She is a very loyal dog. Kira LOVES attention so much that sometimes when you arent giving it to her she will give you little love bites on your butt as her "fun game" of getting you to focus on her. She walks well and leash, she may pull a little sometimes but things like an easy walk harness can help correct that. Kira loves car rides and LOVES water. As any husky/ shepherd type dogs, Kira has energy, so she would be happiest in an active family, and a family who has a yard she can run and entertain herself in while they are busy. She currently lives with over 50 other dogs and would be happy with other dogs, although she would also likely do fine alone if she had lots of attention from her people ! Whoever adopts Kira will be showered with love and loyalty from this beautiful and special girl. Kira can be on a flight into Vancouver once an adoptive home is found. Her adoption fee is $450 and it includes her flight, spay, vaccines, full vet testing. Please email cass@mexpup.com or apply on mexpup.com if you are interested in bringing Kira into your home ! |
