Toby - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

Stray dogs have a difficult life. Surviving on your own; food, shelter, water, safety can be hard to come by. A larger dog might have an easier time protecting itself, but finding the amount of food needed presents a bigger challenge. Such was the situation for this guy, who was on his own. A kind-hearted lady started feeding him and he kept coming back every day, but it was obvious he needed more than the food this lady could provide so she started looking for help and fortunately, when she contacted Nayeli there was an open space in the shelter and she was able to get him off the streets. He was filthy and malnourished, so the first step was to take him to the vet where he got a much-needed bath followed by tests. Fortunately, he was negative for the scary illnesses, so treatment was given for internal and external parasites as well as some vitamins and he was off for a brighter future. He does have a small involuntary movement of his front leg which the vet concluded was a likely a consequence of distemper. He is fully healed, and the tick doesn’t impact him in any way, it is just something that makes him a bit extra special.
Toby is a yellow Lab mix; he is approximately 5 years old and weighs 34 kilos.
Toby is a handsome boy who likes humans of all ages and is friendly with the rest of the dogs of various sizes in the shelter, however, he does not like cats. He rides well in cars and loves his out-of-the-shelter walks every day and especially loves water when they get to play in their pool on hot days. Although Toby is not alpha, he does not like being bossed around by male alpha dogs, so we think he would do best being with a female dog or the only dog in the home. He does not like other dogs getting in his food bowl which is easily fixed by simple separation – a bit of distance in the same room and he’s fine. We would love to see Toby go to a house with either a female dog, kids or an active family as he is very affectionate; he is a large dog with a child’s personality. He is noble and obedient. Please help Toby find his home by sharing his post so his forever family knows he is ready and looking for them.
The adoption fee for Toby is $500 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Toby to join your family, please apply at mexpup.com (http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html) or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected]

Rica - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

Sometimes it’s hard to believe a story, even when you live through it. There was a text about a dog that a friend of a Canadian volunteer wanted to help. Neither knew where I lived, but they reached out asking for support. Texts went back and forth, location of the dog, photos and information. A plan was being discussed, what could be done, when and how. The group lost sight of the dog, time passed, and everyone was moving forward…including the dog. No one knows how it happened, but the stray dog from the photo walked 2.5 km from where the photo was taken to my garage within the hour. We happened to be at the garage door, a fluke, someplace we don’t spend much time, but as the dog walked up the driveway chins hit the floor. That dog had no way of knowing who I was or where I lived, but she found her way to my home. To say this girl is smart is clearly an understatement. She had a place to sleep for the night (quarantined from the other dogs in care) and then was off to the vets the next day. She was negative for the worst, positive for the common issues of street dogs in PV and onto a brighter future. Posts were made to find her family, but no one stepped forward. It was time to accept that Costa Rica (Rica to her friends) needed help to find her new family.
Rica is a beautiful mix that is approximately 2.5 years old and now weighs 27 kilos.
This sweet and loving girl likes humans of all ages as well as the rest of the dogs in the shelter, however, she does not like cats. She gets nervous and stressed with loud noises, thunderstorms and fireworks but she enjoys meeting other dogs when going out on her daily walks. Rica can stay alone for some time and has not shown any destructive behavior. Sometimes she does not realize how strong she is and plays rough with other dogs, but she is obedient, so a quick “no” will stop her. She is spoiled and sometimes will pretend she cannot hear you calling her until you start talking sweet in a loving voice to her. Rica would love to start living her life to her full potential and she needs a family for that. Please share her album so that everyone knows this sweet pup is looking for a great place to call home.
The adoption fee for Rica is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Rica to join your family, please apply at mexpup.com (http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html) or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected]

Tarik - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

A kind person living in the small village of Quimixto kept seeing this stray, and clearly abused dog. She had burns on her body, was malnourished and infested with ticks and fleas. She did what she could, but needed to find her a refuge, where she could recover. Thankfully, she found Claudia. She reached out and sure enough, with her huge heart, Claudia said yes and welcomed in this little angel. The first stop was for a very much needed bath, followed by a vet visit where tests were done and after finding out she tested negative for all scary illnesses; she started her health protocol with hopes of finding her very own family.
Tarik is a beautiful hound mix; she is approximately 2 and a half years old and weighs 23 kilos.
Tarik has been at the shelter for over a year, and she is now one confident and happy girl. She gets along with humans of all ages as well as the rest of the dogs. She loves her daily walks outside the shelter and reacts well when meeting other dogs on the street. She likes going out on adventures when riding in the car and does not get bothered with fireworks or thunder storms. She is not food possessive and has no problem sharing her toys or sleeping area with other dogs. She is energetic, so a home with another dog and a yard would be great. Here’s the thing about the yard, you’re going to have to teach her not to dig. She loves water and walks, so an active family and regular adventures would be a great fit for this precious girl. Someone is going to see her photos and just know that those ears need to join their family, so please share her album to help her find that home.
The adoption fee for Tarik is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Tarik to join your family, please apply at mexpup.com (http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html) or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Maylo - In a BC foster & looking for a loving FURever home

- Maylo is the sibling of Maya & Mica that we have already posted, and Mica found her forever family 😊. If you read Maya’s story, you know the 3 were discarded in an empty lot. Three small pups without much hope of survival on their own. Thankfully, Claudia heard about them and took them into her care. Amazing people step up to do the hard work and Claudia is certainly amazing. She wasn’t sure how long they had been there trying to survive without food and water, nor how many others had passed them by without a glance. They were filthy, full of ticks and flies and had skin infections, but fortunately, none of the scary illnesses were present. After initial care and treatment, they were ready to leave their past and look to a brighter future.
Maylo is a beautiful mutt, about 7 months old and weighs approximately 12.5 kilos.
Maylo is an easy-going puppy; he loves playing with his siblings and the rest of the dogs and cats at the shelter. He shares food bowl, toys and sleeping area with them all and he has figured out how much he likes going out of the shelter on his daily walks where he is learning how to walk on leash. He has now learned how to come when they say “ven” as well as “no” when he gets in trouble. Maylo can go to a family with other dogs to play with or no dogs so he can get love exclusively. He is one of those “down for what you are” pups, “You like pizza? I like pizza!” “You like belly scratches? Dude, I like belly scratches!” “You like hiking, me too”, “you want to be a couch potato, dude, you’re not going to believe this”. We think he could fit into any family looking to add a loving member to their pack.
The adoption fee for Maylo is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Maylo to join your family, please apply at mexpup.com (http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html) or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].
Maya - In a BC foster & looking for a loving FURever home

People relinquish their pets for various, often heartbreaking reasons, including cost of care, insufficient housing options for pet owners and access to veterinary care. However, quite often people see their pets as a commodity and do not take enough responsibility to get the basic care done, including spay/ neuter. This ends up adding newborn puppies to the already problematic overpopulation. The easiest way to deal with this is to put them in a bag or a box and dispose of them. This was sadly the case with Maya, who was thrown into an empty lot along with her sister and brother. Claudia was not sure how long they had been there trying to survive without food and water to the careless looks of people passing by, but she cared enough to pick them up and bring them to the shelter where she arranged for a vet visit. They were filthy, full of ticks and flies and had skin infections but fortunately, none of the scary illnesses were present. After initial care and treatment, they were ready to leave their past and look to a brighter future.
Maya is a beautiful mutt, about 7 months old and weighs approx. 13 kilos.
Despite being a puppy, Maya behaves well and gets along with humans of all ages. She gets along with the rest of the dogs in the shelter as well as the cats. She is happy to share her food with other dogs and is not possessive of her toys or sleeping area. Staff at the shelter are working on her potty training, walks on leash and some commands. So far, she is doing good with the first two and has learned what “no” and “ven” (come) means. Maya can go to a family with other dogs to play with or no dogs so she can get all the love for herself.
The adoption fee for Maya is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Maya to join your family, please apply on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Tiny Tim - In a BC foster & looking for a loving FURever home

Tiny Tim and his sister Panela had a really rough ride at first. Originally a wonderful person reached out to us informing us that there were a litter of 7 tiny shepherd mix puppies on the street and that 3 of them had already been run over and killed in traffic, they were able to save the remaining 4 and we were able to take 2 of the puppies and another rescue took the other 2. Their blood values were absolutely abysmal, their organs were failing and sadly it was too late for Tiny Tim’s sibling, who we named Mina. Even with a blood transfusion from one of our big healthy dogs she didn’t make it. We couldn’t save her but we tried very hard as did our vets, and we tried to take solace in the fact that she knew love and warmth in her final days. We were still in contact with their rescuers who were also very sad to learn about Mina’s passing, and told us that one of the two that had gone to another rescue had also died. Tiny Tim had started to improve and since each of the sibling pairs were now all alone, we asked whether we could reunite them so that they could lean on each other as well as us for morale and healing.
So Tiny Tim and Panela were reunited and both began to really thrive and are now happy, squishy, bouncy, fun, and healthy puppies weighing about 15kg each and are roughly 7 months old.
Tiny Tim has the paler face of the two and is just the sweetest boy on planet earth, he loves being held like a baby and will press his head against your neck quietly until you are done with the cuddle. He is good on leash, and confident and adaptable out in the world, he lives with 10 other dogs and goes to doggy daycare 2 days a week which he loves. He lived with cats up until a month ago and didn´t mind them at all, and doesn´t pay huge amounts of attention to cats he passes on the street. Timmy knows sit, down, and will go to his crate when he is told it is time to eat (all our dogs eat in their crates so they can get comfortable in there and to prevent arguments amongst all the dogs during food time). He hasn´t had much interaction with children as we don´t know many but he enjoys meeting strangers out of the house and at home and we think he would love to join a family with kids that are dog savvy. He loves car rides and general adventure and whoever his future family is will surely feel like they have won the jackpot.
Tiny Tim can be on a flight into Vancouver once an adoptive home is found His adoption fee of $550 includes flight, neuter, vaccines and full vetting

Copito - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

Las Juntas y Los Veranos is a little town south of Puerto Vallarta where the main highway crosses. Houses and stores are lined along the road, too close to traffic. Unfortunately, dogs are allowed to freely roam the place resulting in frequent accidents due to the speed of which the cars go by. There was a construction site where workers were sharing their lunch with two stray dogs. They put some cardboard and old t-shirts in a corner for them to stay the night, but with the construction done, the dogs were left “homeless” as none of the workers were able to take them home with them. They stayed in the area in great danger of being run over, so someone from the town made calls looking for help and Vanessa, a long-time rescuer with a huge heart, was contacted. Although she did not have room in her house to take them in, she still went to pick them up, thinking she would figure out what to do later. She has limited resources, but she had taken the responsibility, so she asked Angel if he could help and thankfully, he agreed. Before moving in, Copito was taken to the vet, where tests were done for the scary illnesses, which fortunately all came back negative. He was malnourished and had ehrlichiosis (caused by ticks), so he was prescribed antibiotics and vitamins to start his health protocol and off he went on the way to a better life.
Copito is a Husky / Australian Sheperd mix, he is about 4 years old and weighs 27 kilos.
Copito is a gorgeous boy that loves adults, teenagers, and children alike. He especially loves female adults and flirts with them. We do not know if he gets along with cats, but can be tested, if needed. He gets along with the rest of the dogs in the facility and has no problem sharing his food bowl and sleeping areas with them. He loves his daily walks and sometimes pulls and gets too excited when he sees some of his friends. He is very social and active; his ideal day would be out on the grounds playing with other dogs. He has learned to sit and wait his turn when food is being served. We think he would do great with an active family and possibly another female dog to play with.
The adoption fee for Copito is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Copito to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email ashley@mexpup.com.

Duke - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

Nayeli got a call, a concerned person had seen a puppy walking along a busy road, dodging the heavy traffic. She took off and rushed to the place, finding him running and scared. He was by himself, seemed lost and was afraid of the cars racing past him. When she tried to grab him, he immediately threw himself to the ground and peed out of fear. Although he was just a puppy, he was in bad shape; malnourished, filthy, and full of fleas. Nayeli managed to pick him up and took him to the vet where he was checked and tested for scary illnesses which fortunately came back negative. A very needed wash, vitamins and deworming started him on his health protocol, and then he was taken to the shelter for a fresh new start.
Duke is a mix of Labrador and Great Pyrenees; he is now 1.6 years old and weighs 30 kilos.
Duke is a gorgeous boy that loves humans of all ages. He gets along with all the dogs in the shelter and is social when meeting most new dogs on his walks outside. We don’t know if he gets along with cats but can be tested, if needed. He walks well on a leash and loves his daily outings. There is that one house with that one dog that does not like Duke, so he has begun to growl and bark back in response, but it’s definitely the exception to his interactions with other dogs. He is confident and is not food, toy or sleeping area possessive. Duke is a loving goofy boy that loves playing with kids and other dogs whenever he can. They have been working on his house training and getting him used to sleeping in a crate. We think his ideal home will be with an active family with or without kids or teenagers and maybe another dog so they can play together in the backyard.
The adoption fee for Duke is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Duke to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email ashley@mexpup.com.
Rayas - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

This dog represents his name well; both because of his markings as well as the Mexican saying “otra raya mas al tigre” which translates as “another stripe in the tiger”. A very common story….. one more dog in the streets, wandering around by himself, looking for food and water around trash and dangerously crossing streets, disoriented. People don’t know how he got to the neighborhood, but he was not from there and they feared he would get hit by a car not being familiar with the streets, so they took him into their home and worked on a plan. They did what they could to get him healthy and to keep him safe. They reached out looking for help to find him a forever home and that is how Rayas became a MexPup. He has been through the full health protocol, is healthy and is now ready to find his forever home.
Rayas is a handsome mixed breed male; he is estimated to be between 1.5 to 2 years old and weighs approximately 25 kilos.
Rayas is a social dog that likes to meet people. He does well with humans of all sizes and with visitors. Rayas loves his daily walks and has no negative reaction when he sees other loose dogs on the street. However, he is protective of his food. Feeding him separately solves the issue. He shares toys and likes to play with other dogs, but when bedtime comes, he will growl if other dogs try to lay on his bed (reminds me of someone I know 😉). Rayas does well with medium and smaller sized dogs, but he is an alpha, so he doesn’t do well with some large dogs (if he feels threatened by them) and he isn’t a fan of cats. He isn’t bothered by loud noises and wants to please. Rayas has a lot of strength and would excel with an active and energetic family that takes him out on adventures. He loves running, exploring, digging holes, playing with toys and playing with other dogs. Rayas is ready for a home where he will be part of a family, so please share his album so they know that he is looking for them.
The adoption fee for Rayas is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Rayas to join your family, please submit an application at mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email ashley@mexpup.com.

Waffles - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever 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. A while back, during a clinic in the outskirts of town, 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, one of the volunteers at the clinic did all she could to find a foster home for her and at that very moment the pup had a foster and also became a MexPup. She had a bad case of mange (thankfully the non-contagious type) but she still had extremely swollen feet and cracks in the skin all over her body. She was alert and had clear eyes but was extremely weak. Waffles was taken to get vet care and due to the severity of her swollen feet and skin cracks all over her body she remained in the clinic. Once she was stabilized, she moved to the foster home where she started her recovery and new life.
Waffles is an American Staffordshire terrier female about 7.5 years old and currently weighs approximately 22 kilos.
Waffles has been in care for many years now. Sadly, time has continued to tick by, and she’s just been unlucky. When she was younger and finding her way, she was a handful and none of her applications were a good match. As the years passed, I think people saw her post and thought there must be a reason no one else wanted her and so they didn’t inquire or give us a chance to tell them more about her. We really hope that Waffles will finally get her chance. We know there is a great family out there for her somewhere.
Waffles is doing well. She is happy, healthy, and absolutely ready to find her family. In general, Waffles gets along with some dogs, but she would be best as the only animal in the home since she can be possessive of her belongings, including water and food. Being a stray is difficult and some dogs are still fearful of some of the dangers they faced on the streets; Waffles gets very stressed with loud noises, such as fireworks or thunder. 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 she has recovered and now, we are excited for her to find a family to call her own. Please share this post so that we can give this lovely girl the great life she deserves.
The adoption fee for Waffles is $450 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com

We are so happy that she has recovered and now, we are excited for her to find a family to call her own. Please share this post so that we can give this lovely girl the great life she deserves.
The adoption fee for Waffles is $450 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com
Bimba - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

UPDATE OCT 26, 2024
Have you met Bimba?? Why not??
She is a beautiful 6 year old (approx) mix that loves to go on leashed walks and free play in a safe space. She is very smart & willing to learn & please. She is a little goofy when meeting new dogs because she's so excited, but with a little practice & training she should get better. She cannot be in a home with small dogs or cats as she is ABSOLUTELY not a fan.
Bimba is currently living in the mountains of Puerto Vallarta in a shelter, thanks to the generous support of a local volunteer, but it's time for this young lady to get that next chance at her FurEver home or possibly a foster home to help her on her journey. Are you ready to meet Bimba?? 💕🐾

Juanita saw this beautiful dog near her home late at night and she noticed the dog was scared and was trying to hide from two unknown men. Juanita called her and she came to her right away, when the men saw she was with somebody they left without saying a word so Juanita believed they had bad intentions. The pup had a collar on but no tag; Juanita figured the dog was trying to escape from a bad situation, so she decided to help her and took her in. Once she got the chance to check her, she was sure her new rescue had been neglected since she was underweight, her skin was in bad condition, missing hair in some spots, was filthy, had long nails and was full of fleas and ticks. She also looked like she had recently been lactating so she may have been used for illegal breeding. The next morning, Juanita reached out for help via Facebook groups which Carmen & Claudia saw. They stepped in taking her to the Vet where tests were run, and medications were given, and she was ready for a new start.
Bimba is a beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier mix about 4.5 years old. She weights approximately 28 kilos.
Bimba has greatly improved since her rescue, she is a confident girl now that enjoys her daily walks on a leash. She is playful and loves being off leash in safe spaces. She gets a little hyper when there are larger groups of dogs, but she does great with 1 or a maximum of 2 medium to large dogs. Bimba is not very fond of small dogs, especially louder ones, so she needs a home without any small dogs or cats. Bimba has medium energy and is super affectionate with her humans. She also enjoys being lazy at home in a large doggy bed. She loves squeaky toys, plush toys and loves laying in the sun whenever possible. She is not used to spending long periods of time in a crate. We think Bimba would enjoy and benefit from some basic obedience classes as to keep her active and learning.
Her ideal owners would be a family with teenagers or a couple with no kids (and no plans to have any). If the owners have had experience with similar medium to large breeds like her, Bimba would benefit from their leadership and guidance to become the best dog she can be.
The adoption fee for Bimba is $500 and includes flight, spay, vaccines and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com

Stella - Application received

One will never understand how some people can be heartless enough to see animals’ lives as an inanimate, disposable item. We can only guess this dog once had a “family”, irresponsible enough not to get her spayed and consequently, at her very young age she got pregnant. Puppies are always cute and desirable, but they could not wait for her to finish nursing them when they put her in the car, drove around and threw her out the window at a gas station located on a busy highway in a northern state in Mexico. She stayed there for days, confused and looking for her puppies until her mammary glands started bleeding since she was not nursing. The staff at the gas station fed her and had water available for her. They did their best, but she needed more help than they could give. When Laura stopped to get gas on her long road trip between homes and she saw the dog, she knew she had to take her otherwise she would either be run over by a car or eventually get pregnant again. Yep, you read that correctly. She was in the middle of a multi day road trip and rescued a dog – amazing people do amazing things. Along the way, she stopped to have her checked by a vet, did tests and get shots so the pup would be allowed to cross the border. Once at home, she settled down and realized she was safe and ready for a brighter new start. Not a road trip any of them will soon forget.
Stella is a beautiful cattle dog mix; she is 2 years old and weighs 15.4 kilos.
Since coming into care, Stella’s personality has flourished. She has become the puppy she was denied being. This little girl is very active and loves playing with her (bigger and smaller) foster sisters and sometimes can be quite tough and annoying to the pack. She is smart and loving, she enjoys spending time with everybody, and especially loves getting affection from humans. She can be protective of her family (she is a cattle dog after all) but has never been aggressive. Stella gets excited when she sees the leash and jumps in anticipation, but after a few steps she calms down and walks well on the leash. In her personal opinion, stuffed toys look better without eyes, ears or anything sticking out of them, so she makes sure she fixes that as quickly as possible. At night, she makes sure she warms up her foster dad’s side of the bed and reluctantly moves to the middle when he goes to bed. Stella sleeps through the night and is the first one to say good morning with a kiss. We think she will do good in a home with kids and/or other dogs to play with or, if being the only dog, to have an active human with a big, fenced backyard to burn some of her energy.
The adoption fee for Stella is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Stella to join your family, please apply at mexpup.com (http://www.mexpup.com/mexpup-adoption-application.html) or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].
