Sahvey: in a Victoria foster & looking for a forever home
Sahvey was on the streets when Jeffery saw him & knew something had to be done. He scooped him up and got him immediately to the vets. Not surprisingly this guy had a bad case of mange (non-contagious type). We expected a few other bumps in the road & they came via a secondary infection that caused major swelling & pain. He responded very well to treatment and although the road to recovery was long, he is now ready for a forever home. The good news - our boy is feeling so much better. There is a spark back in his eyes & a bounce in his step. He loves to play with our dogs and now has become a great uncle to HollCy & Molly (2.5 month old pups we are fostering). His progress has been great and we are so happy that his personality is shining through. He is a very intelligent dog & needs interaction. He is great with kids, runs well on a leash, and loves puzzle games (& solves them quickly). If you want a couch potato, he isn't the dog for you. If you want an active dog that loves to cuddle when the day is through, he might just be your guy. We can't wait to find him a new home - he definitely deserves one!
Nereo: in a Vancouver foster & looking for a loving home
4 week old puppies aren’t able to survive on their own. If their mom is still around, there is a chance they can make it but it’s slim. When they are on their own, on the streets and without a mom, they have no chance. Thankfully someone saw the 2 pups in need and took them to their home. They couldn’t keep them, so they asked their friend Claudia for help. Claudia wanted to help, but wasn’t sure how her own dog Aquiles would take to the whole fostering thing……Aquiles was a champ. These two pups adjusted to life in a new home with their awesome fur foster sibling, but Claudia knew she needed to find them forever homes. Once they were healthy, vaccinated and neutered, she came to MexPup asking for help to find them families. Nereo is now about 9 months old and weighs 16 kilos. We think he is a vizsla whippet mix…best guess. He is a shy guy and can be a bit fearful in new environments but with a bit of time and reassurance he settles in quickly. Nereo likes most other dogs and had a cat in his foster home (he’s still trying to figure out the cat thing). Because he can be anxious we think he would do best in a home without young children. Nereo is a lovely pup that needs a family to help him continue to learn how to be a great dog. With a bit of time and guidance, we are sure this pup will make one great family member…..who says me?
Gloss: in a Nanaimo foster & looking for a loving home
On her way home from work on a chilly, rainy evening in January, Dr. Lupita was driving on a busy main road when she noticed something strange. She noticed cars honking, some slowing down, some swerving and some just driving by. And then she saw why. A wet, matted, tiny dog was trying to cross the street. Dr. Lupita already has many pets that are rescues, and she knew that she wouldn't be able to keep her, but that didn't stop her from stopping and helping. Dr. Lupita stopped her car and was able to get this very scared little dog off the road. As a responsible rescuer, Dr. Lupita knew that the original "pick-up" is only the beginning. She took the dog to her vet clinic where the dog was groomed, fixed and vaccinated. At approximately 2 years ond, and weighing a mere 4kgs, this little sweetie, now named Gloss, is friendly, playful, happy and looking for her forever family. Quoting Gloss's rescuer, "Rescuing her was an act of compassion that I hope infects other people." We hope so too!
Kris: in a Victoria foster & looking for a loving family
When a plea comes in about puppies on the street, it pulls at the heartstrings. They are so vulnerable. We know that if we aren’t able to help them, their chances for survival are slim. We put out a plea for the Mojoneras puppies as we needed foster homes to be able to take them in. Some wonderful people agreed to open their homes and their hearts (thank you Laura, Vicki, Licerine) and so we contacted Yessy letting him know that we could help. Yessy had been providing food & water to the mom and her puppies. He had also found a home for one of them. Now that the pups were mobile he was also trying to keep them safe. As of this afternoon, the puppies are off the street and at the vet’s office. They will move to foster homes once testing is done and they are cleared. We are still working to get the mom off the street. She stayed away today, but we will not give up until she is also safe.
**Meet Kris, her coat is caramel with brown markings on her face and body. She is similar in size to the other females (just under 3 kilos), and she is just a little thing. We believe the pups are about 2 months old. As we learn more about Kris, we will update her story. Fionn (aka Toby): in a Victoria foster & hoping for a home
Angeles knows most of her neighbors. One day she saw a man named Peanut, the local neighborhood drunk, walking around with a small pup about 4-5 weeks old. The pup was very skinny with a large belly (parasite belly) and was covered in ticks. Angeles asked him about the pup and Peanut explained that the dog was his. He was going to care for it and then breed it. She told him she thought he would have a hard time doing what he wanted as the puppy would need lots of care and he replied that he would take great care of him. She explained there would be costs associated with taking him to the vet and went on to tell him that she was part of a group of volunteers that helped street dogs by getting them healthy and finding them great homes. She continued to educate him about dogs and eventually, he admitted that he didn’t really have a home, nor money to pay for food, and he agreed that she should take the pup. The next stop for Toby was the vets and boy did he need it. This sweet guy got a bath (no more ticks or fleas), got tested for the scary illnesses (no moquillo or parvo – yea!), and had blood work done (positive for ehrlichia and very anemic). He went home with Angeles to a life where food, shelter, care and love would always be available. Toby is now about 6-7 months old, weighs 19 kilos, and is ready to find his forever family. He is a loving, active and playful pup. This guy has energy to burn and would do great with an active family (left to his own devices/boredom, chewing is a favorite pastime). Toby does well on a leash and is house trained (like with any puppy, he might have some accidents after the transition to a new home). He was fostered with dogs (he loves to play with them) and cats (he likes to chase them as he wants to play….they aren’t so interested in playing with him). We know that Toby will be a great addition to one fun, active, loving family…will it be yours?
Noelle: in a PV foster & hoping for a forever home
Brian and Mona were enjoying a quiet dinner on Christmas Eve with friends Andres and Michelle, and Lawrence and Marjorie when there was a knock at the door. Brian answered it to find their neighbor, Ricardo, standing there holding a small puppy in his arms. Ricardo told Brian that he and a friend were heading out to a Christmas Eve event when they saw a tiny puppy running along the street. It was already dark out and the puppy appeared to be on its own. Ricardo knew he had to help, so he pulled over and went to investigate. The puppy was happy to see him and quickly came to him. Ricardo looked around for anyone who might be with this very young pup, but there was no one in sight. Despite the urging of his friend to leave the puppy there, Ricardo decided he had to do something. He knew that Brian and Mona were involved in animal rescue so thought he had nothing to lose in asking for help – even if it was Christmas Eve. When Ricardo asked Brian if they could possibly help, Brian invited him in saying “we have a house of dog lovers here; we’ll figure something out”. The little puppy stole all our hearts on first glance and it didn’t take long for us to tell Ricardo to leave her with us and we’d take care of her. We decided to call her Noelle because she came to us on Christmas Eve. First order of business, however, was to make sure that no one was looking for her, or that her mother wasn’t out there searching for her, or worse that she had siblings alone out there too. Leaving Noelle in the loving arms of Michelle - Brian, Mona and Andres went out with flashlights to search the neighborhood. Brian and Mona were pretty sure they wouldn’t find the mother as they knew the area well and there hadn’t been any nursing street dogs wandering around. They searched the vacant lots anyway and listened for puppies crying, but nothing. Moreover, they didn’t run into any human looking for a lost puppy. The worst of conclusions came to them given how clean and relatively healthy Noelle had been when found. Was she a Christmas present gone wrong? Had she been put on the street at this young age? Had she gotten out of a house or yard? Why wasn’t anyone looking for her? Once the group was confident that Noelle had been left alone on that street in the dark, they went back to Brian and Mona’s where the puppy was sleeping soundly in Michelle’s arms. It was decided that the two couples would jointly foster Noelle. She would stay with Brian and Mona, but Michelle and Andres would keep her if the Kines’ ever went away. The group also decided to ask MexPup for help in finding Noelle a forever home. Noelle is about 8 weeks of age and weighs 3 kg (6.6 pounds). She is a beautiful little girl and was amazingly clean when found. When taken to the vet, it was found that she had internal parasites and that her blood count was low, but the vet was confident that with treatment and good nutrition she would be healthy in no time. Noelle is adapting well to her foster home, but still misses her mother. When she whines her sadness, she is quickly picked up and cuddled until she knows how much she is loved. Her foster siblings have accepted her with open arms. We are all excited to watch this pretty girl grow and thrive, and we can hardly wait until we see her happily in the arms of her forever family. That would be the best Christmas gift ever!!
Freud: in a PV foster & hoping for a loving family
Local artist and businesswoman, Pat Gawle, referred a dog to MexPup. A fellow artist of Pat’s from El Tuito rescued a badly injured dog in early January. Froylan is a Mexican potter who lives and works in El Tuito. He came across the young male dog on the street badly injured from what was evidently a stoning or beating. Froylan said he has seen many injured dogs in his life, but none like this. He could not leave the pup on the street. Froylan brought the dog back to his live-in studio and took care of him, but he needed help with food and supply expenses and he certainly could not afford veterinary care. Through Pat, MexPup became involved and in mid-January Brian and Mona drove out on a rescue mission to El Tuito. When they first saw the dog, which they have named Freud, most of the wounds had healed but left numerous scars all over the dog’s body. Freud also had a severely injured back leg that he dragged along when he walked. On initial assessment by the vets in PV, it was determined that Freud has a severely dislocated back right hip. The injury appears to have happened some time ago as his leg has stiffened from misuse making it difficult for him to lay down and get up. To complicate matters, Freud’s bloodwork indicated that he had Anaplasma, a tick borne-disease that left him anemic and with a low platelet count. He would not be a candidate for surgery until his bloodwork improved. Freud is currently being fostered in PV at Brian and Mona’s and he is doing excellent. He is on antibiotics for the Anaplasma, his wounds have healed, and the scarring will not be as bad as initially thought. Moreover, we are optimistic about his leg and he is now booked for surgery on February 11. Pat and another artist, Kathryn (ColorPod), paid for all of Freud’s initial vet visits and we thank them for that, but Freud’s surgery will cost $4,000 pesos (about $330 CAN). Please make a donation for Freud’s care so we can ensure that this wonderful dog has a healthy and happy future.
Carlos: in a PV foster & hoping for a loving family
Their plan for the day was to have breakfast at Coco's Kitchen and then take Aimee to the doctor....Change of plans #1 - they ran into Todd at Andale's, so they sat & joined him…..Change of plans #2 - after breakfast they looked across the road & saw a mangy dog wandering through traffic. What could they do? Out goes the doctor visit, next they grabbed some sausage & off they went on a doggy hunt. A couple blocks later and after a few minutes earning a little bit of trust, she got a leash around his neck. Off to the vet they went & he's now in a wonderful foster home in Bucerias. Meet Carlos! Anyone looking for a beautiful young pup to join their family? Carlos is being treated for ehrlichra & mange. He then will be vaccinated, neutered and available for adoption. This approximately 8 to 12 month old staf/pit cross (with a bit more mixed in for good measure) weights 22 kilos. Even though he has been on the streets, Carlos is very sweet/gentle and has a playful demeanor. He has done well around other dogs, and is very young & trainable (Steve had him sitting for treats in minutes!). We are excited that Carlos is now safe and will soon be ready for a home to call his very own. Please help us to find him a great family that will open their hearts to this lovely pup.
Nicholas: in a PV foster, has special needs & hoping for a home
On Christmas day Laura and Licerine were visiting the cemetery in San Juan. They noticed a dog wondering between the graves searching for food. He was in such a bad condition, extremely skinny and physically emotionally exhausted. They attempted to approach him but he got scared and ran away. When they left the cemetery, he was there outside and again they tried to approach him. They showed him we were with other dogs and he did not need to be afraid. He decided to trust them and they were able to put a leash around him. He did not want to walk as he had no energy so he let them carry him the 15 minute walk home. He curled up in a little ball in Licerine's arms and started to relax. He was rescued just in time, another day or so and this would have been a different story. We were thinking of what to call him and it seemed appropriate to call him Nicholas as it was Christmas day. Nicholas is a very sweet boy. This approximately 2 year old pup weighed 10 kilos when rescued. He is nervous but slowly starting to trust. He has obviously lived in a house before as he asks to go outside to the toilet and walks well on the leash. In the morning he likes to stretch his long legs and makes these very cute noises. He is going to be a very handsome boy when he is healthy and will be a very loyal and loving pet.

Canela: in a Victoria foster & looking for a loving home
Ruth works on a sea turtle conservation project on an isolated beach in Tomatlán. One of the local fishermen had taken a dog to breed with the female there and took all the male puppies leaving the 4 female pups on the beach, alone, fighting for survival. By the time Ruth arrived with some volunteers at the beginning of nesting season, the pups were already about 6 months old. It took a few days to be able to get hold of 3 of them, but they simply couldn't capture Canela. Ruth returned a couple of weeks later and spent one week there, during which time she worked to gain her confidence. She left food out for Canela and gradually was able to get closer and closer to her, until one day she finally got her. Ruth was able to find homes for the other puppies, but Canela needed more time to recover as she had quite a nasty case of mange and was pretty thin. Once she was healthy, Ruth contacted MexPup to see if we could help get her adopted. Ruth had done all the heavy lifting and so we were glad to be able to offer assistance with finding her forever home. Canela is about 1 year old and weighs about 23 kilos. She is very loving but is also timid. She does well with dogs that are smaller and needs time to properly meet & gain confidence with larger dogs. Once she is friends with a dog, she does great playing and interacting with them. Canela is an active girl that like to go on walks and definitely needs her daily excursions. She had a tough start to life and is a bit cautious & protective around fishermen, but we think she will settle in well to her new country, her new surroundings and her new normal – where she is safe, cared for and loved. Please help us by sharing her story & album so that her new family can find her.
Chispa: in a Victoria foster & looking for a forever home
Monica had to race home from work one day. It was supposed to be a quick errand before returning to work at 8 Tostadas in the Marina. When driving down the main road, she saw a small, disoriented pup. She was crossing from one sidewalk to another (thank God the traffic light was red). She was ready to jump out of her car to pursue her, when the pup neared some people at a bus stop. Monica yelled to a lady from her car, asking her to get the little dog get close to her. She asked her, “is this your dog?” Monica replied “no, he is not, but he will be”. The woman called to the dog and luckily the friendly pup approached her immediately. Monica got out of her car and jumped the rail to get where they were. She finally got to Chispa, thanked the lady, and got back in her car with the pup. The little pup was so scared that she began to cry. She was dirty, had some ticks and seemed skinny. Monica rushed to her home, gave Chispa food and water (she was very hungry) then she had to get back to work quickly. She was worried about the little pup, so she rushed back to her home as soon as she could and when she opened the door it was like Chispa had known her forever. This little 9 month old pup weighs about 12 kilos. She is a very social and happy girl that likes to make friends wherever she goes. Chispa did great in her foster home with other dogs (she was fostered with Chocolata in PV). She is still a puppy and so needs guidance to keep her out of trouble, but she is very smart and a very good listener….just a bit of time and patience will help her grown into a great adult dog. Chispa is now in BC and she would love to find her forever family….maybe you can help us to find them?
Osito Polar: in a Victoria foster & looking for a loving family
There is a wonderful organization called PEACE Animals that runs the free spay & neuter clinics throughout Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding communities. During one clinic a couple arrived asking to euthanize one pup. The paws of this puppy were deformed and the owners had come to the decision that he should be put down. The staff at the clinic didn’t want to comply with the request and asked the owners if they would surrender the dog. The couple agreed and so began the process of helping Osito Polar. Angeles returned to the clinic to pick up another rescue dog that had been neutered that day when she was asked if she could help. She agreed to foster the dog and MexPup took on the responsibility for the medical care and finding this special needs pup a good home. Osito was only 2.5 kilos when he was rescued (late March 2013). He got his name from his unique paws and the way he walked (sort of like a polar bear on ice). He was very weak, very anemic and suffering from ehrlichia. His physical deformities indicated that he might have additional challenges causing his recovery to take longer than what we normally experience. The good news is that with time and care he did begin to heal and became a happy, playful, devilish puppy who didn't realize that he ran or walked different than any other. We are still not certain what medical challenges he could face in the future but that doesn't diminish our commitment to him. Osito was fostered with Canito (now Bello) and they were simply a pair of playful pups who loved exploring, playing and doing was puppies do best…..looking adorable. Now that Canito has found his new home, we very much want Osito to get the same opportunity. He is approximately 7-8 months old and weighs about 10 kilos. This sweet boy has been in a foster home with dogs and cats. He loves to play with dogs and gets along well with all of them, but he can pester the cats. Osito needs a home with lots of love and attention as we expect that his deformed paws might indicate other challenges in his future. He is still a puppy and needs help with training (bored puppies can tend to chew and this guy is no exception), but we know that with a solid home he will become a great family member. We are so thankful that the PEACE Animals vet saved him. Now we need a family that will continue to provide for this lovable, sweet boy.
UPDATE - Oso has been seen by a vet in Canada and we have confirmation that he has club foot. He is mobile and happy and the vet is confident that he can have a great quality of life. Chocolata: in a PV foster & hoping for a family of her own
Chocolate was a street dog that befriended some security guys in a Vallarta neighborhood. They had been feeding her, giving her water, and she had started to follow them during security rounds. On September 1st, she was hit by a car. This poor girl sustained injuries to both her back legs (fracture of one femoral head and in both paws). The security guys didn’t have the ability to provide care for Chocolata, but wanted the best for her. Monica lives in the neighborhood, found out what happened, and started to look for help. The group “Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals” that works with the PV acopio (which is now a no-kill facility because of the work that they do – YEA!!!) agreed to help. They started to raise money and supported Monica in fostering her. At the same time, a number of other critical animals came into the acopio and they also ran into some operational challenges. They were in a tough spot and needed all the help they could find. MexPup heard about the challenges they were facing and decided we (the MexPup community) could help. By taking on the most expensive pup they had in care, it would allow all the money being donated to go towards the other 70+ animals they had in care and the operational challenges they had (loss of the government provided cleaning person). That is how Chocolata became a MexPup. This lovely pup is approximately 1 year old. She is a very friendly girl that does well with other dogs (there are 3 foster puppies in her foster home). We have been given a good prognosis for her recovery by the orthopedic vet and so are very hopeful for her future. The reality is that we need your help. Her surgery & recovery will be costly, but we believe that Chocolata deserves a second chance for a wonderful life with a loving family and a home. Please consider making a donation to MexPup to help us cover all the cost for Chocolata’s care. We need your help to continue to make a difference for those that need our help.
Benito (aka Sebastian): in a PV foster & hoping for a caring family
It is raining and a dog is sitting in a puddle. People come and people go but the pup remains in the same spot. Regular people see the dog but they don’t give him an extra thought. Compassionate people see the dog and want to know what is wrong….why would he sit in a puddle, it simply isn’t normal. They take a closer look, can see the dog is injured and when asking around find out he has been there for some time yet no one tried to help him. Thankfully Laura and Edwin are kind people who do what they can to make a difference. With the open wound on his leg and the exposed bone, there knew there was no time to waste. Phone calls were made, a late night vet location was found, and Sebastian was rescued. This approximately 1.5 year old pup weighs 23 kilos. Even though he was in extreme pain, Sebastian was gentle throughout his rescue process. He knew that they were trying to help him and he gratefully received the help. The amazing news is that although his wound is horrible and the damage to the skin and soft tissue is extensive, he didn’t suffer any fractures. He is getting daily wound care, is on strong antibiotics to stop the infection, and the prognosis for his leg is now quite good. Sebastian tested negative to the very scariest of illnesses, started treatments for the issues he does face, and has made daily improvement since going into care. This pup faced too much alone. He is now part of the MexPup family and we will make sure that never happens again. He deserves a home that will care for him. A home where he will be part of the family. Thank you for helping us to rescue him. Thank you for helping us to care for him. When the times comes, we will ask for your help to find him a wonderful home.
Update: While out walking Sebastian and his foster family ran into his old family. They let them know that his name is Benito and then continued on their way......we're glad they didn't want him back (they don't deserve him!). Gracie: in a PV foster & hoping for a forever home
Todd & Patty often stop at Roberto’s for coffee on their morning walks. Everyone there knew they rescued dogs as they would see the various fosters come and go from their pack. They often spoke to one of the waiters about his dog, the challenges of abandoned dogs and the importance of spay/neuter. One day he explained to them that his dog was in heat, had escaped the house and they now had 5 puppies that needed help…..after a few deep breaths and curbing the desire to scream “why didn’t you get it done like you said you would”!…..they asked what his plan was. He knew they couldn’t keep sthe pups as there was no money or space, but he hoped they would have good homes. After some planning, it was decided that he would keep them until they were 2 months old and then they would become MexPups with Todd & Patty fostering them as long as the mom was spayed after the puppies were weaned. The family was very happy with the proposal and that is how Lucy, Ethel, Georgie, Gracie and Izzy became MexPups. They were born the first week of November, 2013. Their mom was a terrier mix that weighed 8 kilos (think Tramp from Lady & the Tramp), their grandmother was a wiener dog, and we have no idea who the dad(s) were.
Gracie is the runt of the litter. At 3.5 months old she weighed 3.5 kilos. Gracie is a cuddle bug and a charmer…she knows how to use her Cleopatra eyes to melt any heart. Gracie loves all of the big dogs in her foster home and she loves her litter mates (even though they sometimes pick on her). She is a very submissive pup. Gracie loves to run, chase, play with toys and generally have a good time. This sweet girl is still a puppy, so it will be important to keep your eye out for training opportunities and keep her safe until she learns her way. Gracie is ready to find a family…..do you know anyone that might be the right match? Ethel: in a PV foster & hoping for a forever home

Ethel has a mostly white coat with light brown ears, when she was 3.5 months old she was 5.3 kilos. Ethel started out as the shy girl, then she was the rambunctious girl and now she could be described as the bossy girl, so it looks like she went through her teens in less than four months! Ethel is great on a leash and loves to go for morning walks. She is great at the beach and has won several hearts there. She does fine off leash and gets along great with other dogs big and small. Ethel loves toys, laps, car rides and is a great cuddler. She is still a puppy of course, so keep your eye out for training opportunities and keep her safe until she learns her way. Ethel is a great little pup and somewhere out there is her perfect family, let’s help them find each other. |
Maxi: application received, please check back
Barbara, a long term resident of Vallarta was walking by Vista del Sol to the beach at about 5pm…Maxi was sitting under a truck. When she called to him he rushed out to see her, very tiny, traffic, no collar, limping, she could not resist helping him. She thought someone had abandoned the puppy. She picked him up and walked to the end of the block, and came upon a group of drunk guys drinking and one said "hey that is my dog". Barb approached him, and the drunk man went to pick dog up by his ears to show Barb what a "tough" puppy he was. Barb yelled at him, telling him he can't grab a puppy and lift him by his ears. She said she was taking the dog. He offered to give the dog to Barb if he bought her a beer. She said no, he said ok and that was that. At that moment, Barbara changed Maxi’s life forever. A number of friends got involved and together Barbara, Franca, Eric, Natasha, Carla and Christy rescued Maxi…….rescue isn’t just getting a dog off of street. It is caring for the dog, getting it healthy and helping it to find a forever home. Maxi is approximately 9 months old and weighs 17 kilos. His right front leg was damaged when he was a puppy (we later found out that his previous owner not only swung him from his ears, but also from his paws. This is how his leg was injured). By the time he came into care, the injury had already healed. It was misaligned, but he was able to walk & run & play. The vets followed him as he grew and determined that he wasn’t in any pain (thankfully!) as there wasn’t much that could be done to repair the old injury. This sweet guy gets along with dogs, cats, adults and kids…..he just wants to be friends with everyone. Maxi is house trained and leash trained, but he is still a puppy so need attention & training. We are looking for a home that will welcome him with open arms and embrace him even though he doesn’t walk like other dogs…..he might be different, but we just think it makes him extra special.
Izzy: application received, please check back
Todd & Patty often stop at Roberto’s for coffee on their morning walks. Everyone there knew they rescued dogs as they would see the various fosters come and go from their pack. They often spoke to one of the waiters about his dog, the challenges of abandoned dogs and the importance of spay/neuter.

Their mom was a terrier mix that weighed 8 kilos (think Tramp from Lady & the Tramp), their grandmother was a wiener dog, and we have no idea who the dad(s) were.
Izzy is the pup that looks most like her mom and at about 3.5 months old, she weighed 5.45 kilos. She is a spunky girl that loves to play. Izzy does well with all the other dogs in her foster home whether large or small. She loves going for walks, loves stuffies, and is becoming quite a social girl. This sweet pup does great in the car and had become one of the most adventurous of the litter….when off leash, she will explore on her own as much as you will let her. Izzy is a good listener and a very trainable dog. She is still very puppy and needs appropriate attention & supervision to keep her out of trouble. Izzy will soon be ready to find a family to call her own and we are very excited to find a family for her to join. |
Apolo: application received, please check back
4 week old puppies aren’t able to survive on their own. If their mom is still around, there is a chance they can make it but it’s slim. When they are on their own, on the streets and without a mom, they have no chance. Thankfully someone saw the 2 pups in need and took them to their home. They couldn’t keep them, so they asked their friend Claudia for help. Claudia wanted to help, but wasn’t sure how her own dog Aquiles would take to the whole fostering thing……Aquiles was a champ. These two pups adjusted to life in a new home with their awesome fur foster sibling, but Claudia knew she needed to find them forever homes. Once they were healthy, vaccinated and neutered, she came to MexPup asking for help to find them families. Apolo is now about 9 months old and weighs 18 kilos. We think he is a lab pit boxer mix…best guess. He is a friendly guy that gets along great with most dogs when he’s had a proper introduction. He will need continued training and socialization like all young pups so that he masters the skills that will help him be a great dog. There was a cat in his foster home and he did just fine with the cat. We think that Apolo would thrive in an active family where he will get lots of activity and exercise. He loves to play, loves people and just wants to have fun....and he thinks getting to play in water is a huge plus! Please help us to find Apolo a great family to call his own.
Domino: application received, please check back
What would you do if you were on vacation and found a dog in need? What Sophie and Rodrigo did was to take action and make a difference. They found a dog that was starving, lost and needed help. They picked him up, got him to a vet and made a commitment to help him. The place they were staying didn’t take animals, so they boarded him at the vet clinic where he could receive the care he needed. They contacted MexPup and asked for guidance. When it came time to return to Mexico City from their holiday, they took Domino with them. They decided they would foster him until he was healthy, vaccinated, neutered and ready to be adopted. When that day came, they brought Domino back to Puerto Vallarta where he will remain in care until he can travel to BC and find his forever family. This approximately 3 year old pup now weighs a healthy 19 kilos. Domino loves meeting new people and loves playing with other dogs. He enjoys walking, but still needs to learn some leash manners. This friendly guy is very social, but we do not believe he will do well with cats (his one encounter gave him the opportunity to demonstrate his jumping ability….grade “A”). Domino deserves a loving home where he can be part of the family. Please share his photos and help us to find him a wonderful new life.

Mindy: Adopted! March 1, 2014
Some things just don’t make sense. An owner has three dogs and cares for them for a few years and then one day decides they don’t want them anymore. That’s it. They are out of the house and there is no turning back. The pups don’t know why things have changed, but they have. Thankfully, the family contacted a few people giving them a chance to get the dogs before life on the street started to take a toll. Two of the dogs went into new homes (yay) and that left Mindy who still needed a new family. She ended up in the care of a MexPup foster home and they asked if we could help find her a forever home. This sweet Schnauzer is 3 years old and weighs about 7 kilos. Mindy is a friendly girl that really likes other dogs, is playful and very social. She loves going for walks, loves going for car rides and loves belly rubs. Mindy will need a bit of training, but she seems to be a quick study and adapted to life in her foster home without issue. We need to find a family that will value this pup and give her the life she deserves….as a member of the family and not just a thing that can be discarded.
Koji: Adopted! February 26, 2014
It was nighttime and it was dark….the parking lot was mostly empty so seeing the pup on his own even though he was far away was easy. Angeles wanted to help (as she always does), but they had too many dogs, too many fosters, too many cats, too little space, and so they went into the store to shop. When they exited the store, he was there at the entrance. Seeing him up close let her know how very much he needed her help. He had mange on most of his face, his eye was almost closed, his paw was swollen and he was limping. It didn’t matter that there wasn’t space or resources, she simply knew she had to do something. Koji was taken home for the evening and then the next day to the vets. He was negative for the real scary illnesses and began treatment for the others…..having Angeles walk into his life was the start of his new beginning. His foster home saved him and gave him a place to heal. Koji is about 1.5 years old and weighs 11 kilos. He loves to play with other dogs and did fine with the cats in his foster home. Koji is a friendly, sweet pup that seems to get along with everyone. He loves going for walks, he loves to play and he loves being around people. Koji is healthy, happy and ready to find a home to call his own. We know that he will make a wonderful addition to a lucky family, so please help us to find them.
Preciosa: Adopted! February 22, 2014
Preciosa had a family…well, sort of. She was purchased to be bred. After two litters, the family lost interest in that endeavor, so began the shuffle of this girl. First, she went to one neighbor where she lived on the roof with no protection from the sun or rain. Thankfully another family took pity on her, took her off the roof and gave her food, but they didn’t really want her either. They spoke to another neighbor that rescues animals in need as asked if they could help. That is how Preciosa ended up with John & Maureen. This couple has rescued and fostered a number of pups. They asked for help finding a forever home for this little girl and that is how she became a MexPup. Preciosa is about 2 years old and weighs about 10 kilos. She is a very loving dog who enjoys as much attention and lap time as she can get. She is a dominant personality and tends to stand up to the two dogs in her foster home, including the much-larger male, and she can be very forceful. She has never snapped, but she growls and butts her head to state her case. Preciosa can be possessive with people & food, so she needs a strong leader to guide her. This little girl doesn’t know what to do with toys. She watches the other dogs play catch and tug-of-war but makes no effort to join in…we are certainly hopeful that with time that will change. She loves to go for walks and loves spending time with her people. Preciosa deserves a home where she isn’t a commodity, please help us find that for her.
Joey (formerly Ameca): Adopted! February 17, 2014
The state line between Jalisco and Nayarit is a big river called the Ameca River. Traffic, 2 lanes each way, travels across this river via a bridge. When Kim saw a dog on this bridge she knew that it wouldn't be able to survive for long. She picked her up, brought her to Mexpup's vet and decided to name her Ameca. Ameca was very sick with a fever, and an infection that was affecting her eyes. Luckily she didn't lose her sight and now that the infection has been treated her eyes are perfectly clear. Ameca went into foster with another Mexpup named Tasha. This was her first experience with a loving family and a dog to play with. Tasha taught her many important lessons about how to be a dog and enjoy life. Ameca is now in foster with another great pack and continues to learn, play, love and improve. Just turning 1, Ameca is reliving her puppyhood that she couldn't live when she was little and needing to survive on her own each day. She can now play with no worries, love with no boundaries and simply enjoy life. Her foster family is working hard on her training and channeling her energy in positive ways. Ameca is approximaltely 21kgs of pure joy and love. She is looking for an active family that enjoys exercise and a high level of activity. Is your family the right one for her?
Luna: Adopted! February 16, 2014
A litter of 7 puppies was born Sept 30th, 2011 in Surrey, BC. The owners didn't want the puppies, so they took them to the local SPCA when they were 5 weeks old. The SPCA was told that the puppies' mom was a Lab/German Shepherd. The SPCA decided to call them Lab/Pit Bull crosses based on how they looked at 5 weeks of age, but by the time they were 8 weeks things had changed. 3 of the puppies all of a sudden looked like border collies, so they were very uncertain as to what mix these pups were. One of the pups, Luna, was adopted but the family went through some drastic changes that made it very difficult for them to give Luna the life she deserved. For the past 8 months, Luna has been living with her mom in Maple Ridge. Although she tried very hard to make things work, she realized she needed to stop being selfish by keeping Luna for herself and let her go to a home that could give her more time and attention. A wonderful MexPup volunteer asked if we could help find a new home for Luna and that is how Luna became a MexPup. This 2.5 year old female is a VERY social pup with both people and dogs plus she's great with cats. She's housebroken and walks well on leash with a halti (not so much with just a collar, but with a bit of work that will come). Luna is very mellow at home normally spending her time sleeping or playing with her toys. She gives a small bark when someone knocks on the door, but doesn't typically get up to go to the door. This lovely pup needs a new home and we are glad we can help to make that happen.
UPDATE: Luna has been adopted! Her after story will come shortly. Astrid (formerly Sabrina): Adopted! February 9, 2014
When a plea comes in about puppies on the street, it pulls at the heartstrings. They are so vulnerable. We know that if we aren’t able to help them, their chances for survival are slim. We put out a plea for the Mojoneras puppies as we needed foster homes to be able to take them in. Some wonderful people agreed to open their homes and their hearts (thank you Laura, Vicki, Licerine) and so we contacted Yessy letting him know that we could help. Yessy had been providing food & water to the mom and her puppies. He had also found a home for one of them. Now that the pups were mobile he was also trying to keep them safe. As of this afternoon, the puppies are off the street and at the vet’s office. They will move to foster homes once testing is done and they are cleared. We are still working to get the mom off the street. She stayed away today, but we will not give up until she is also safe.
**Meet Sabrina, her coat is dark with splashes of color. She is similar in size to the other females (just under 3 kilos), and she is quite sweet. We believe the pups are about 2 months old. As we learn more about Sabrina, we will update her story. Spud: Adopted! February 2, 2014
A loose dog in a neighborhood…..sometimes it’s just the neighbor’s dog that you recognized & they’ve been let out for a walk on their own (ugh), sometimes it’s an unknown dog but you can tell they are healthy & have a family (maybe by their collar, their behavior, their physical state), sometimes it’s a dog in need. There was a scruffy small dog in the neighborhood for a few days…he was too skinny, too dirty, too nervous, too sad, too hopeful for some food or maybe a friend, and just around too long to have a home. It became clear that he needed help and so help was given. The first step was to get him to the vets. The tests for the real scary stuff were negative – sigh of relief – and so the regular care for the regular issues was started. It only took a few days and this sad, timid pup started to show his true colors. We found out that Spud is quite a lover, a cuddler and has a big personality. This 2-3 year old pup weighs about 7 kilos. He has lots of energy, loves to play, loves to cuddle and loves to spend as much time as possible in your lap. He is learning his manners and now knows sit, no, and get down. He thinks treats are a great idea and has learned that when his foster mom comes home from work, treats are on the agenda. He isn’t a big fan of being pulled by the collar (we think he might have been tied up in the past), so we are working to make walking with a harness a positive experience for him. Spud wants to please, he wants to be part of a family, and he wants his very own person to think he is the greatest dog ever. Are you looking for a playful energetic guy that is also a lap dog at heart……..if so, Spud could be your guy!
Bentin (aka BamBam): Adopted! December 22, 2013
Barbara started to deliver her puppies on February 10, 2012. There were 13 in the litter. One died almost immediately, 2 passed away in the first 2 days and then another 2 died around days 10-12. We are hopeful that the remaining 8 will survive (Maroma, Makoki, Diva, Frida, Nova, Camilla, BamBam and Mozart). They are a lucky group to have been born in a wonderful foster home where Jenny & Lili did such a great job supporting Barbara and helping the puppies. BamBam is the biggest pup in the litter. At one month, he weighed 2.2 kilos and he continues to GROW! His mom weighs about 22 kilos and we would expect him to be about the same size (or maybe a bit bigger). He is a shy pup and once he trusts you will protect him he will be your favorite and faithful boy forever. He will make a wonderful addition to some lucky people who can handle a big and playful pup who needs all your attention and lots of exercise to keep his mind active. A note from Bentin's foster mom: Benny has fit in wonderfully to my pack of 7, 4 pups and 3 kitties. He's scared of the cats and not sure what they are just yet lol. Bentin is learning and refining his obedience and he's such a smart boy and catches on to new commands very quickly. Positive praise training only for this shy boy. He has really come out of his shell and is becoming the pup he needs to be. His confidence will come with a strong leader and consistent routine and exercise. He's perfect!
Moro: Adopted! December 6, 2013
Vicki and her husband Frank were having a meal with friends at Moro Paraiso along the Rio Cuale when they noticed a friendly pup. This very social guy was hanging out at the restaurant and they found out that he had been getting fed there for about two weeks but that he needed a home. No one knew where he came from, he had simply arrived. The nice people from the restaurant were making sure he had the basics, but none of them was able to take him in. Living on the streets is tough and everyone knew this great pup deserved a home so Vicki & Frank decided to make a difference. They took him in, got him healthy, and then it was time to find him a home. They asked MexPup for help and lucky for Moro, there was an open space on an upcoming flight & he got the call. This pup has a very sweet temperament and simply wants to love and be loved. Moro is about 1 year old and weighs around 17 kilos. This smart and playful boy does great with other dogs and clearly gets along great with people. He won the hearts of the people at Moro Paraiso, then he won Frank and Vicki’s hearts and now he’s ready to win the hearts of his new family. Whoever they are they will be very lucky to have Moro in their lives.
Oscar: Adopted! December 1, 2013
Jenny is a great animal advocate. She isn’t one to leave it to others. She is the type of person that sees a problem and finds a solution. Jenny puts herself out there even when it is complicated or difficult, and she does it (I must admit she is a hero of mine). There were 3 puppies that were all in terrible condition. They were malnourished, covered in fleas, anemic and unlikely to survive. Their “owners” weren’t interested in them and had no willingness to help them. Jenny has her own 2 dogs plus she was fostering Nikki (another MexPup) when she heard about these puppies. She didn’t say “I am too busy”, she didn’t say “I have no room”, she didn’t say “I don’t have resources to cover their bills”, she didn’t say “someone else needs to save them”, she simply said “YES”. She and some friends rescued Oscar, Yara and Ringo. The 3 puppies were fostered together which is very positive for their development. Oscar´s siblings were adopted but Oscar is still looking for a forever family. He is now about 7-8 months old and seems to be a lab mix. Oscar loves the ocean. He loves to swim, he loves to play and he is very strong. He is great with other dogs, kids and is quite tolerant. This mini black lab who loves car rides just needs to find the right family so he can shower them with kisses (he is a very good kisser).

Chica (formerly Flaca): Adopted! March 6, 2014
Flaca had a family who didn´t care about her at all…to the extreme of not feeding her and that´s why Tommy decided to call her "Flaca" (thin in Spanish). He couldn´t stand that situation. After her last litter, her family wanted to get rid of her and were planning to take her to the hills and abandon her forever. He decided he had to do something and so he rescued Flaca. He took her in, gave her food, and got her the care she needed. Tommy asked his friends Claudia and Chuck for some help. As they are big rescuers, they were in Flaca’s corner and so they were there to support him and she became a MexPup. Once they had room, they started fostering her. Flaca is about 1.5 years old and weighs about 24 kilos. This sweet pup has done well with all the dogs in her foster family (she especially loved the Chihuahua). She still eats as if it could be her last meal….we hope with time that will change. Flaca is a happy pup that is learning that life can be good. She loves to play and loves to enjoy life. We would love her to find a family that will welcome her into their home and their hearts. Please help us by sharing her album.
Baby: Adopted! February 28, 2014
What do you do when you see a man with a small pup that is in poor condition? If you are Angeles, you start a conversation and you ask the man about the dog. You ask about her health and why she is skinny, dirty, with fleas and ticks. You explain to the man that puppies take lots of work and they also need medical care and good food. You continue to explain and then ask the man if he is really able to provide for this animal…….you probe and you push and you suggest that maybe the puppy would be better off in another home. Eventually, Angeles was able to convince the man to give her the 2 month old puppy. Baby is now about 9 months old and weighs 16 kilos. She is a playful girl that has lots of energy. Baby did great with the dogs in her foster home as well as the cats (although sometimes the cats would let her know they did not want to be bothered). She is a curious pup that still needs some training as she can be distracted easily and loves to find things to chew. Baby is a smart girl that is a good listener and takes direction well….a very trainable pup. This lovely girl is happy, healthy and ready for an active family to call her own….please help us to find them.
Charlie: Adopted! February 22, 2014
Yessy moved into a new neighborhood. There was lots of construction going on and the area was in transition. She noticed a female dog and could tell she had puppies. Yessy started putting out food & water for the mom, and trying to figure out a way to help her. After a few weeks had passed, Yessy started seeing the puppies and so began providing food & water for them also. They were mobile and exploring their territory. Small mobile puppies, construction sites, neighbors that don’t like street dogs…….it was a recipe for disaster. Yessy was willing to do all she could to help this family, but she knew they needed more than she could provide. She reached out to MexPup and thanks to a number of people stepping up, we were able to take in the whole family. Charlie and her puppies (Bosley, Kelly, Jill, Sabrina and Kris) are all now in care with the hope of a bright future. Charlie is at a good weight (thanks to the food provided by Yessy over these past weeks/months). She is about 21 kilos and about 1-2 years old. She is a shy girl who wants to love and trust, but life has taught her to move slowly and be cautious with people. Charlie will move to a foster home where she will get healthy (she tested negative for all the really bad stuff, but is positive for the common blood diseases we have here) and she will learn that there are lots of wonderful humans who want the best for her. Once she is ready, we are hoping to find a kind and loving home for her: a place where she will be valued, a place where she will be loved, a place where she will be part of the family.
Bosley: Adopted! February 16, 2014
When a plea comes in about puppies on the street, it pulls at the heartstrings. They are so vulnerable. We know that if we aren’t able to help them, their chances for survival are slim. We put out a plea for the Mojoneras puppies as we needed foster homes to be able to take them in.

We are still working to get the mom off the street. She stayed away today, but we will not give up until she is also safe.
**Meet Bosley, he is the only male of the litter. He is the biggest of the group weighing in at 3 kilos. We believe the pups are about 2 months old. As we learn more about Bosley, we will update his story. Shakira: Adopted! February 16, 2014
Todd & Patty were on their way to Office Depot and while sitting at a light heard the cries of a kitten. Out of the car and onto the center island, Patty tried to catch her. The kitten bolted across two lanes of traffic and was nearly hit. She ran into an empty lot continuing to cry. With the help of a man that was in the area, they were able to capture her (after some great evasion attempts on her part). Because of her coloring - called tortoise shell, we believe she is a she. She is about 2.5 months old, she is skinny and she likes people (so was not feral). Her voice is what saved her, so her name became Shakira.
Asha (formerly Jill): Adopted! February 16, 2014

We are still working to get the mom off the street. She stayed away today, but we will not give up until she is also safe.
**Meet Jill, she is the (most) blonde of the litter. She is similar in size to the other females (just under 3 kilos), but she had the biggest (parasite) belly. We believe the pups are about 2 months old. As we learn more about Jill, we will update her story. Esmo (formerly Kelly): Adopted! February 9, 2014

**Meet Kelly, she has the darkest hair of the litter (think Jaclyn Smith). She is similar in size to the other females (just under 3 kilos), and she is quite confident and willing to explore. We believe the pups are about 2 months old. As we learn more about Kelly, we will update her story. Rico: Adopted! December 29, 2013
You’ve heard the story before. The dog has a family and then the dog doesn’t have a family. The what, why, how are the questions commonly asked by most people……then there are those that focus on a solution for the animals that have been left. Understanding humans is complicated, but understanding dogs is easy; they only want a person to love. They are loyal and will stick with their humans even when they don’t get much in return. Dogs deserve more. They deserve love, care, food, shelter and loyalty. Rico & Shauna had a family, then they didn’t and now Rico is a MexPup. This lovely guy is about 7 years old and weighs 8 kilos. Rico is a friendly guy that is leash trained, house trained and just wants a family that will love him. He likes other dogs, although he can take his time in warming up to some males. If you are looking for an older pup that is easy going and just wants a place to call home, this guy is for you!
Kendra: Adopted! December 18, 2013
Erika works in a small town outside of Puerto Vallarta. Most of the people there have dogs that have good lives, are treated well, and are happy. One day, Erika saw a new dog that didn’t fit in as she seemed scared, was skinny and had an injured leg. Erika is a dog advocate and always finds a way to help, so she called to the dog. The dog was happy for the attention and came right over to her. Erika asked around to see if anyone knew the dog and no one did. She started caring for the dog by providing food, water and attention. Each morning the grateful pup was there waiting for Erika. She wasn’t able to use her rear leg and was in pain, but that didn’t keep this sweet girl from happily greeting her each day. Erika knew she couldn’t leave the dog, now named Kendra, on the streets alone and injured. Erika is a responsible rescuer so she made a plan, found a foster home, organized a fundraiser with some friends, got Kendra to the vet, and asked Mexpup for help. The tests for all the real scary stuff were negative, so that was very good news. The X-ray showed that her leg was damaged and she needed surgery. Kendra has thrived in her foster home gaining confidence and weight. After her surgery, she started doing rehab; going to the beach to swim and to walk on the sand. After only 3 weeks post-op, she was using her leg for support almost 100%. Kendra is a sweet, energetic and happy dog. She has even learned to shake a paw when you ask her to do it. She is quiet, but at the same time playful. Kendra loves rides in a car; she is so good you can barely tell she is there. This pup is almost one year old, weighs about 10 kilos, loves to play with the other dogs, and is ready to find a family of her own. Her recovery has been quick, and you can see how much she really wants another opportunity in life. Could you be the family to give her that chance?
Fletcher (formerly Zander): Adopted! November 20, 2013
Zander is one of the Mismaloya pups, a littermate of Zooey. He was healthy enough to be left with the owners with food supplies and some medicines when she was rescued. When a couple of friends of MexPup went back to the house to check on the pups and take them along with the Momma Dog to get neutered/spayed, they noticed that Zander was unable to stand up or use his back legs. They found out from the owner that it had happened suddenly a couple days before. They loaded everyone up and headed into town. The momma dog & the other pup were taken to a PEACE clinic for their operations, and Zander was taken to the vet for an x-ray and evaluation. It was determined that his lower back was inflamed but thankfully, no bones were broken. He may have fallen awkwardly or someone may have kicked him his back leaving him too sore to stand or walk. He was given painkillers along with anti-inflammatory medication and his foster family worked to get him using his back legs again (thanks to Brischa & Ted for temporarily taking him in). A week later he was standing up and walking again, wagging his tail at anyone who enters the room. Zander is a relaxed boy who loves his treats, and is still very much a puppy at approximately 7 months old. He needs a little help learning how to be nice around other dogs when its food time (which is normal behaviour for a dog to be very when they’ve gone hungry before), but we are confident that this smart pup will learn his manners. If he got his way he’d spend the entire day getting belly rubs and being cuddled. We need a foster home for him in PV as his current situation can only be temporary. Zander needs someplace he can continue to learn, get healthy, and grow until we can find him a forever home. Please consider volunteering (either for MexPup or with any rescue group in your area). We (and all rescue groups) can only continue to help animals if we have people willing to help to make an effort to make a difference!
