Hoping for homes

Unconditional love, what could be better?
Adopting a rescue dog provides the opportunity to save and transform a dog's life, and it gives you the ability to witness their transformation from a tragic past to a vibrant future. Rescue dogs have so much capacity for love and resilience, and this in turn creates a deeply fulfilling bond with their adopters. By opening your heart and home to a rescue dog it not only enhances your well-being through so much unconditional love, it also creates an opportunity to grow your family, to increase your physical activity, and to have a strengthened sense of purpose. Finding happy homes for rescue dogs gives them a second chance at life, it reduces homelessness, and it helps support animal shelters.

PRINCIPE
A GENTLE SOUL WAITING FOR HIS FAMILY

This puppy story began like too many others...In a rural area where many animals are sadly left behind, he and his siblings were about to be abandoned but thanks to the kindness of a caring neighbor who stepped in just in time, their fate changed forever. She found them a safe foster home and reached out for help. With the support of Nayely and the shelter team, they finally got the care they needed; tests for life threatening diseases, vaccines, good food, vitamins, and lots of love. Principe is one of these pups.

See tabs below for more information about Principe, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about Principe
Principe is about 3.5 years old, weighs around 7 kilos, and is a Chihuahua/ Min Pin mix loving boy. He is now a handsome boy, healthy and full of life ready to start a brighter future with a family who will love him as much as he deserves. At first, Príncipe can be quite shy when meeting new people or dogs; he likes to take his time to make sure everything feels safe. It can take him a little bit of time to warm up but once he realizes he gets to know someone and is surrounded by love, he blossoms into the sweetest, most affectionate boy that adores cuddles and hugs. He gets along with people of all ages at the shelter, and his daily interactions are with people aged 3 years old to 60+. He greets the people he knows with happy tail wags. Around his doggy friends, he is relaxed and friendly; no food, toy, or space aggression, just a happy pup enjoying playtime with his dog friends. When new people visit the shelter Principe is sweet but cautious. He is not the kind of dog that will immediately approach a stranger although he is curious. He will generally take himself to a quiet place such as under a chair or dresser or somewhere that feels safe if he feels overwhelmed or is unsure, but will regularly peek his head out and try to slowly army crawl over to see what is so great about the new person giving all the dogs attention!!

Principe has been in care in the shelter for a while which can be a loud place with 60+ other dogs. We feel that once Principe has the opportunity to be in a quiet home of his own he will slowly come out of his shell more. He has NO negative behaviours in these moments of overwhelm such as growling or bearing teeth, he just removes himself if he feels overwhelmed. Príncipe loves going for walks and behaves very well on leash; he just prefers short strolls where he can feel secure and take in the world at his own pace. While he gets along with people of all ages including children we think principe's ideal home would be a quiet lowkey one with people aged 14+. We think young children visitors that he could get to know overtime would be totally fine but the commotion of young children running around regularly would not be his ideal home. He is not a city boy and would do best in more rural neighbourhoods where he can enjoy a calm life with his person or people. He’s calm, kind, and full of love to give — all he needs now is someone patient and caring to show him that home is the safest place of all. If you’ve been looking for a loyal friend with a golden heart, Príncipe is waiting for you.
adoption info
Principe's adoption fee is $550, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

NEGRO
FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING: ONE LONG JOURNEY

​When a new AA center opened on the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta, the first members saw a stray dog lingering around, curious about the people and grateful for the scraps of food and affection he was given. But soon it became clear that he had never known the love of a real family. That was when Irina, with her kind heart, stepped in to give him the chance he had always deserved. She bathed him, took him to the vet, and discovered his story was written on his body; patches of fur missing from dermatitis and a limp caused by an old injury, likely from being hit or mistreated. After blood work and tests were done and making sure, he did not carry any life-threatening disease, Irina took him home and started his life-changing journey.

See tabs below for more information about Negro, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about NEGRO
Negro is about 3 years old, weighs around 22 kilos, and is a handsome Labrador mix. Despite his hard start in life, Negro radiates sweetness and resilience. He walks a little funny, but his spirit shines brighter than ever. He is amazing with adults, teenagers, and little kids, and he is just as sweet with other dogs and even cats. After surviving life on the streets, nothing seems to rattle him, not traffic, thunderstorms, or even fireworks. What he loves is his daily walk, though he prefers to keep his distance if other dogs approach while he is on leash. At home, he is the most easygoing companion, happily sharing his toys, food bowl, and even his favorite nap spot with his four-legged foster siblings. In the car, he may start out a little anxious, but once he realizes it means adventure, he relaxes and enjoys the ride. Negro has also shown he can stay home alone for up to 8 hours without ever being destructive. He is even learning his manners and now responds to “sit” and his absolute favorite phrase: “let’s go for a walk.” His goofy side makes him extra lovable, like when he decides to eat lying flat on the floor, which never fails to crack up his foster mom. Negro is not just a survivor, he is a resilient, playful, and loving boy who would thrive with an active family that loves the outdoors as much as he does. Now, what he needs most is a forever family who will see beyond the scars of his past and embrace the loyal, loving dog he truly is.
adoption info
Negro's adoption fee is $550, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

POPEYA
A group of dogs wandered the outskirts of town, dirty, malnourished, and covered in ticks and fleas. They survived by digging through trash cans, often chased away with rocks or shouts…just for trying to eat. But one kind neighbor refused to look away. They reached out for help and Nayely, always ready to rescue those in need, stepped in. She made space at the shelter, gathered the frightened dogs, and gave them their first baths, real meals, and gentle care. After vet visits, parasite treatments, and lots of love, they blossomed. That is how Popeya began her new life.

more about popeya
Popeya is about 3.5 years old, weighs around 18.3 kilos, and is an Australian Cattle dog mix. Popeya has come a long way since being rescued; she is now a sweet, social girl who gets along well with adult women, men, teenagers, and especially children. She is friendly with visitors and enjoys the company of other dogs at the shelter. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people or dogs, she quickly relaxes and shows her loving, playful side once she feels safe. Because of her past, Popeya can be possessive with her food and likes to eat fast, sometimes even trying to “help” other dogs finish their bowls. This is easily managed by feeding her separately from other dogs. When she is not playing or exploring, Popeya loves to chill and take naps in her cozy sleeping area, which she happily shares with her furry friends. Popeya is now ready for her home, one filled with love, safety, and the warmth she has been waiting for.

Popeya's adoption fee is $550, which includes her flight, spay or neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

CHAPARRO
FROM TRASH TO JOURNEY TO LOVE
There was a dog living at a construction site with his little companion, finding shelter wherever they could and surviving on scraps of kindness. But when the project was coming to an end, their future would be uncertain as the security guard decided they should be put down because “no one wanted them.” Thankfully, someone remembered Claudia, who had helped them before, and she rushed without hesitation to rescue them just in time. When they were picked up, they were dirty, covered in ticks, and carrying the weight of fear. But despite everything, their eyes still shone with hope. A very much needed wash and a vet visit to get tests done was next and fortunately, besides being malnourished they tested negative to life threatening diseases. Chaparro was one of them.


See tabs below for more information about Chaparro, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about chaparro
Chaparro is about 3 years old, weighs around 15 kilos, and is a handsome Coonhound/ Pointer mix. Chaparro is now a confident, happy boy that gets along beautifully with everyone; women, men, kids…… you name it! When visitors come to the shelter, Chaparro is the first to say hello, wagging his tail proudly to show what a friendly, social pup he is. He is not scared of loud noises, fireworks, traffic, or thunderstorms; no problem, Chaparro stays calm and cool through it all. His favorite part of the day? His daily walks, where he walks nicely on leash and loves showing how well-behaved he can be. At mealtimes, he is totally chill, no food aggression here, though when it comes to toys, he prefers to keep them all to himself and not share (fair enough). He is playful but also loves having a good nap on the living room sofa, his favorite spot to relax. Chaparro is past the puppy phase, doesn’t chew on things, and already knows basic commands like “Ven” (come) and “Sentado” (sit). Chaparro is now safe, clean, and dreaming of something simple yet powerful: a family who will love him forever and for that, Chaparro is waiting with an open heart.

FLOR
On a ranch where dogs were left to reproduce unchecked, the owner would keep only the tough males for “protection” and cruelly dispose of the females to keep the population down. When a litter of mostly female puppies was born, their fate seemed sealed. But one kind neighbor refused to let that happen. She managed to save just one tiny puppy from certain death and asked for help to get it away from the place. When the puppy arrived at the shelter, she was frail, filthy, and fighting parasites inside and out. After a vet check, it was good to learn she was free of any life-threatening diseases; she was simply malnourished and in desperate need of care, love, and safety.

See tabs below for more information about Flor, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about flor
Flor is about 3 years old, weighs around 19 kilos, and is a sight hound mix beauty. Despite never having known the comfort of a family, Flor’s heart is wide open. She adores people of all ages and is especially sweet with children. At the shelter, she plays happily with the other dogs and never minds sharing her toys, food bowl, or even her favorite nap spot. Flor can be a little cautious in new places or when meeting new faces, but her shyness fades quickly once she realizes there is no danger. That is when her true personality shines; gentle, affectionate, and eager to connect. She patiently waits for her daily walks, tail wagging, ready to take in every smell and sight with joy, always reassured that she has a safe place to return to. She is a playful girl who thrives in the company of kids and canine friends, and she dreams of a family who will take her on adventures, explore the world with her, and love her as much as she will love them. Flor’s story could have ended tragically, but instead, it is just beginning. Will you be the happy ending she has been waiting for?

Flor's adoption fee is $550, which includes her flight, spay, vaccinations, and full vetting.

BYRON - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
RESCUED, HEALING, AND READY FOR LOVE
This dog once belonged to a family who, unable to care for him, made the most irresponsible decision and tied him to a tree for months. Without love, food, or shelter, his little body was covered in fleas, ticks, and painful burns on his back from harsh chemicals; some people believe hot burnt oil kills ticks. Still, he never stopped wagging his tail when someone showed him a little kindness. A kind soul saw him and could not turn his head, so he untied him and took him to get checked, tested for scary illnesses and then home to start his long recovery. When he was rescued, he was malnourished, dirty, and in pain but with proper care he proved what a brave, loving soul he is. Today, Byron is healthy, strong, and ready for the one thing he has been waiting for all along: a family that will love him as much as he will love them.

more about byron
Byron is about a year old, weighs around 18 kilos, and is a handsome lab/terrier mix. The bald line along his back tells the story of the cruelty he endured, but Byron has not let it dim his spirit. He is simply waiting for the chance to prove how much love he has to give, and to discover that people can be kind, loyal, and never let him down again. Byron gets along beautifully with people of all ages and with the other dogs in his foster home however, he does not like cats. He rides calmly in the car, does not mind loud noises, and enjoys relaxing on the porch in his favorite chair. He knows basic commands like sit, lay, leave it, and come, and he is well-behaved when left alone at home. Like many neglected dogs, Byron is very protective of his food, but this is easily managed by feeding him separately. Byron would do best in a home without cats or chickens. He does not require a large yard, but he does need regular exercise to stay healthy and content. Byron is ready to join his forever family and start his new chapter filled with love and security.

CHATITA - ADOPTION PENDING
CHATITA'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE
It was close to midnight when Lupita, on her way home after work, saw a truck almost run over something small in the road, and as she got closer, realized it was a skinny little dog, covered in dust and fear. The pup hid in the bushes, as if trying to disappear. When Lupita opened her car door, this smart girl jumped in without hesitation, as if she knew her chance had finally arrived. In the following days, she asked around the neighborhood, but no one claimed her. Some people said she had been wandering the area for several days, lost and alone. Lupita took her to the vet to get checked and tested for scary illnesses and today, after care, vaccines, deworming, and treatment for an infection, she has recovered beautifully and is showing her true personality: sweet, affectionate, grateful… though still a little shy after everything she has been through.

GRETA - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
RESCUED, HEALED, AND WAITING FOR LOVE
There was a dog once roaming the neighborhood, thirsty, starving, and in desperate need of help. A kind neighbor couldn’t look the other way; she gave her food, water, and a safe place to rest while searching for someone who could truly change her future. That was when Claudia, with her big heart, stepped in and welcomed the dog in need into the shelter. When she arrived, she was in heartbreaking condition; her fur was filthy and matted, her body covered in ticks and fleas, and she could barely walk from the pain of a severe limp. At the vet, X-rays revealed she had a hip dislocation along with internal parasites. Despite everything she had endured, the brave dog never lost her gentle spirit. She bravely underwent treatment, hip surgery, and rehab, proving she is a fighter.

more about GRETA
Greta is about 11 months old, weighs around 18.5 kilos, and is a beautiful mix of what we think are Aussie Shepherd, Irish Wolfhound and Wirehaired Griffon. Today, Greta has healed beautifully and is ready for what she has always deserved: a loving forever home. Greta is not just beautiful; she is also full of love and joy. This sweet girl gets along wonderfully with humans of all ages and all the dogs in the shelter. She happily shares her food bowl, toys, and even her favorite sleeping spots. Loud noises don’t bother her, and her playful spirit shines when she’s around children or canine friends. Greta has a lot of energy and would be the perfect companion for an active family who loves playtime and adventure. She is also a quick learner; she already knows commands like “ven” (come) and “sentada” (sit). Even when left alone in the house for several hours, she has shown that she is trustworthy and calm. The only thing Greta asks for is a cat-free home, as she doesn’t get along with feline companions. Other than that, she’s an easygoing, affectionate, and loyal dog ready to give her whole heart to the family who chooses her.

Greta's adoption fee is $600, which includes her flight, spay, vaccinations, and full vetting.

NANIS - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
THE LITTLE DOG WHO LEARNED TO WALK IN THE SUNSHINE
This helpless dog was kept into a world without love; a small soul trapped in a cruel backyard breeding operation where her only purpose was to produce litter after litter. Locked in a small filthy cage, surrounded by fear and neglect, her days were filled with silence, suffering, and solitude. But her story did not end there; thanks to the courage of Karla, a dedicated rescuer who refused to turn away, Nanis and 29 other dogs were liberated from their nightmare where they never knew the world beyond the wires. With the help of kind volunteers, Nanis was brought back to life, slowly learning that hands could comfort, voices could soothe, and hearts could heal.
​

more about nanis
Nanis is a Chihuahua female about 4 years old and weighs 8.5 kilos.
Since arriving in foster care, Nanis has slowly been learning to trust. She enjoys the company of other dogs in the house and has discovered the simple joys she never had before, especially her daily walks, which have become her favorite part of the day. She walks beautifully on leash, stopping often to sniff the flowers and bushes along the way, as if savoring every new scent. She is still a little shy with new people and prefers a calm, adult-only home where she can feel safe. Her crate remains her cozy retreat during the day, and at night she sleeps peacefully there, knowing she is protected. Nanis has already come such a long way, but her journey is not over yet. She is ready for a loving, patient family to show her that the world is kind, that food will always be there, and that she is finally home.

BENITA - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
FROM THE STREET TO HOPE
A dog showed up one day at a woman's home, tired, skinny, and dirty. The woman welcomed her with water and food, but the pup remained in the street as the woman could not take her into her house. The dog decided she had finally found a safe place, so she didn’t leave. The woman continued to care for her, but she knew the lovely dog needed more, and she wanted to help make that happen. She reached out to Nayeli asking her to give Benita the shelter and medical care she truly deserved. At the vet, they discovered she was battling ehrlichia, a tick-borne illness, but with treatment, good nutrition, shelter and love, she recovered. 


See tabs below for more information about Benita, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about benita
Benita is about 5 years old, weighs around 21 kilos, and is a Mountain Cur mix beauty. With her sweet and gentle personality, she gets along wonderfully with humans of all ages, from little kids to teenagers and adults. She enjoys playtime with the other dogs at the shelter, but when she has had enough, she politely lets them know by barking; Benita likes to set her own boundaries and appreciates when others respect them. She is not bothered by traffic or loud noises and absolutely loves car rides, always ready for the next adventure, even if it's just a trip to the vet. Like many dogs who had to survive on the streets, Benita can be a little protective of her food, so mealtime in her own space works best for her. When it comes to toys or her cozy sleeping spot, she’s more than happy to share. Benita would thrive in most any home. She would do well with another calm or medium-energy dog and/or children or teens in a home. She's also perfectly content as the only dog. This sweet girl just needs her daily walks so she has the opportunity to explore, and enjoy life. ​

GRODY - ADOPTION PENDING
​SHY AT FIRST, LOYAL FOR LIFE
Grody and her siblings journey began in the most heartbreaking way: a woman walking by a trash pile noticed a plastic bag that was moving. Inside, to her horror, there was an entire litter of puppies, abandoned and barely clinging to life. She tried calling the city shelter but got no response. Desperate to help, she reached out to Nayeli, who didn’t hesitate for a second and took them all in. When they arrived at the shelter, they were filthy, malnourished, and crawling with fleas and ticks. A vet visit revealed they were (thankfully) free of any of the scariest illnesses, but they were battling worms, parasites, and giardia which can be dangerous for small puppies. With proper care, deworming, and antibiotics, they have made an incredible recovery. Grody was one of those lucky puppies!

more about grody
Grody is about 1 year old, weighs around 10.3 kilos, and is a loving mixed-breed handsome male. Today, Grody is a picture of resilience; sweet, social, and full of love to give. He is the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart with his gentle ways and playful charm. Whether he is trotting alongside you on a walk, wagging his tail at a passing pup, or curling up after playtime with his doggy friends, Grody brings warmth wherever he goes. He is gentle with kids, affectionate with anyone willing to give him a scratch behind the ears, and happy to share everything he has, from his food to his favorite cozy corner. Though he can get a bit anxious in new environments and is not a fan of crates, he quickly settles once he knows he is safe. Grody needs a family who sees his heart. Someone to show him that the world is safe, walks are fun, and love is forever. Whether you’re looking for a buddy for yourself, a family member to join your kids, or a companion for your dog, Grody would be a great match. He is ready for a forever home and to fill your life with joy.

KIRAH - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
FROM SURVIVAL TO LOVE
Kirah’s story begins on the streets, where she and her companion showed up out of nowhere one day, wandering into a construction site as if hoping they would finally find a safe place. No one knew if they had ever had a home or if life on the streets was all they had ever known. Every day, the construction workers gave them food, water, and sometimes a little affection; a brief game or a gentle pat on the head, but that was all. No basic care, no shelter from disease, just survival. Covered in fleas and ticks, their skin raw and infected, they waited. And then the day they feared came: the construction ended, and the workers stopped coming. Just like that, they were alone again. But hope arrived in the form of one compassionate worker who could not bear to leave them behind. He reached out for help, and Claudia, who had helped him with another rescue before, welcomed them into her shelter without hesitation. With veterinary care, proper nutrition, and a safe place to rest, they both began to heal, inside and out.

See tabs below for more information about Kirah, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about kirah
Kirah is an Australian Shepard mix, about 3.5 years old, weighs around 22 kilos. She loves people of all ages; men, women, and children alike, and wags her tail enthusiastically whenever someone new visits the shelter. She spends her days playing joyfully with her furry friends and then happily finds a cool spot to relax and watch the fun continue around her. Her favorite time of day? Walk time, of course! Kira struts out proudly, sometimes growling at passing dogs as if to say, “Look at me now, I am safe and loved!” While she is not a fan of cats and gets a little nervous around them, she’s completely unfazed by loud noises like traffic, thunder, or fireworks. This smart girl is getting the hang of crate sleeping and is learning the basic commands like “sit” and “come.” She is highly motivated by treats and absolutely adores getting pets and affection. Kira is ready for a forever home where she can keep learning, keep loving, and keep showing off just how far she has come.

OTTO - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
THE GENTLE SOUL READY TO LOVE YOU FOREVER
A heartless man showed up one day in a neighborhood carrying a small box with four tiny puppies inside. He coldly threatened the people around that if no one took them, he would throw them into the river to be eaten by crocodiles. Heartbreakingly, he meant every word. They were malnourished, extremely skinny, and much too small for their age. Their bodies were dirty and covered in fleas, dehydrated, and infested with parasites. They were so weak and frail that it was clear they had suffered severe neglect, looking like they were moments away from giving up. The people knew they had no choice, and one kind soul took all four puppies in. Tragically, one of the little ones was already too weak to survive and passed away shortly after being rescued. But for the others, this was the first glimmer of hope they had ever known. The lady asked around for help and that was when Claudia stepped in and took them in. After a vet visit, and all tests and treatments very much needed were done, they got healthy and ready for a better future.

more about otto
Otto looks like a Rhodesian Ridgeback Shepherd mix, is about 1.5 years old and weighs around 15.70 kilos. He is a happy, affectionate pup who just needs a little time to feel safe before he shows you his whole heart. Once he trusts you, he is all in—sharing tail wags, soft snuggles, and the sweetest loyalty you could ever hope for. He loves humans of all ages and greets visitors at the shelter with a shy smile that quickly turns into warm enthusiasm. Otto is playful and gentle, and he never takes a single moment of kindness for granted. Every meal, every cuddle, every kind word fills him with gratitude. He is good on a leash, calmly exploring the world and meeting other dogs along the way. Otto has learned that car rides can mean adventure, and he is getting more comfortable with every trip. Past the puppy chewing stage, Otto is the perfect mix of energy and relaxation. He loves tug-of-war and playtime with his dog friends, but he also enjoys curling up for a peaceful nap. Loud noises like thunderstorms and fireworks don’t bother him at all; he’s a calm, steady presence even when things get noisy. This smart boy already knows commands like “ven” (come), “sentado” (sit), “vamos” (let’s go) and “no,” and he loves learning new things. Otto would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, playtime, and plenty of love.

ADOPTION PENDING
JACKSON - ADOPTION PENDING
AWAY FROM DANGER, NOW READY FOR LOVE
He was just a puppy, and he had been given to a person that loves animals, but his life was in danger. The man admitted he was struggling greatly with addiction which led to violence and knew he could not care for a puppy. Concerned neighbors did not have space or resources but were determined to remove the pup from a terrible situation. We are grateful the man asked for help and that he surrender the puppy before any harm was done. Thanks to a network of compassionate people and Claudia opening a space in the shelter, the puppy is now safe, happy, healthy, and full of hope. He was taken to the vet where tests were done and thankfully, they came back negative to scary illnesses however he was full of internal and external parasites which were taken care of with antibiotics.

See tabs below for more information about Jackson, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about jackson
Jackson is a Jack Russel mix about 10 months old, and he weighs around 11.5 kilos. Jackson gets along beautifully with everyone. He adores kids and would spend all day playing with the other dogs at the shelter if he could. When visitors arrive, he is the first to rush over, tail wagging, eager to greet them with his big puppy smile. Jackson loves his daily walks and knows that every car ride means an adventure, even if it is just a quick trip to the vet. He’s a confident little guy who is not bothered by thunderstorms, fireworks, or loud noises. His favorite thing in the world is to stay active and have fun. Jackson would thrive in a home with a very active family, ideally one that has another dog or a super active human to help him burn off his puppy energy. Jackson’s story didn’t end in tragedy… and now you can be the person who gives him the forever home he deserves. Let his story be more than just rescue, let it be the beginning of a life filled with love.

ADOPTION PENDING
NINA - ADOPTION PENDING
​FROM GARBAGE TO GRATITUDE
There was a female dog living on the streets with her mother and sister, searching through garbage just to survive. The irresponsible owner mistreated them, and heartbreakingly, all three were pregnant at the same time. A kind soul named Julie rescued them and brought them into her home, where they each gave birth to six puppies. A few years passed and although she tried to find them all families, Nina and a few others remained in her care. Then the unthinkable happened, Julie was suddenly asked to leave the house she was renting, with no warning. Thankfully, kind souls stepped in to help, making sure Nina and her grown babies would not end up back on the street. When Nina was rescued, she was fighting severe stomach parasites and low platelets from infections. With dedicated veterinary care and lots of love, she recovered beautifully and now it’s her time to find family to call her own.

See tabs below for more information about Nina, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about nina
Nina is about 5 years old, weighs around 29 kilos, and is a loving mixed-breed (the best there is) beauty. Today, Nina is healthy, full of gratitude, and ready for a second chance at life; she is a sweet and gentle soul who has come such a long way. She is thriving at the shelter, where she gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and loves children of all ages when they come visit. Nina is not possessive over her food or toys and even shares her favorite cozy spot to sleep. After a few barks and making sure it is safe for visitors to be there, she greets them with a happy wag, and nothing seems to shake her calm spirit; not traffic, thunderstorms, or even fireworks. While Nina is wonderful with other dogs and people, she prefers not to be around cats and will let them know with a loud bark. She enjoys her daily walks outside the shelter and is always up for a car ride, her tail wagging the entire way. Nina deserves a safe, loving home where she will never have to worry about food or fear again. If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart and home to a loyal friend, Nina is waiting to meet you.

Nina's adoption fee is $500, which includes her flight, spay, vaccinations, and full vetting.

NEO - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
FROM TRASH TO JOURNEY TO LOVE
Neo and his siblings journey began in the most heartbreaking way: a woman walking by a trash pile noticed a plastic bag that was moving. Inside, to her horror, was an entire litter of puppies, abandoned and barely clinging to life. She tried calling the city shelter but got no response. Desperate to help, she reached out to Nayeli, who didn’t hesitate for a second and took them all in. When they arrived at the shelter, they were filthy, malnourished, and crawling with fleas and ticks. A vet visit revealed they were (thankfully) free of any of the scariest illnesses, but they were battling worms, parasites, and giardia which can be dangerous for small puppies. With proper care, deworming, and antibiotics, they have made an incredible recovery. Neo was one of those lucky puppies. 
​

more about neo
Neo is about 1 year old, weighs around 12.7 kilos, and is a loving mixed-breed handsome male. Despite his rough start, Neo has the sweetest heart. He gets along beautifully with people of all ages and is gentle with children. While he might be a little shy around new visitors at first, it does not take long before his curious and playful nature shines through. At the shelter, he plays joyfully with other dogs and does not mind sharing his food bowl, toys, or even his favorite napping spot. Neo is a true companion; friendly on walks, polite to dogs passing by, and a good passenger during car rides. He is affectionate with visitors and staff at the shelter, but new environments can make him a little anxious, and he is not a fan of being crated, but his resilience and intelligence shine through. He is incredibly caring, always checking in on his siblings and showing concern if they are upset. Neo would thrive in a loving home with kids to adore, another dog to be his best friend or a human ready to dote on him. He’s active, loyal, and ready to pour his whole heart into the family who gives him the chance he’s been waiting for.

RAMBO - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
WAITING FOR HIS HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Rambo was adopted as a puppy by a family who wanted him to be a companion for their pug, but shortly after the family reached out to Nayeli, explaining that the owner was visually impaired and their limited resources made it impossible to care for both dogs, especially since Rambo was  young, full of energy, and needed more than they could provide. When she went to pick him up, he was skinny, dirty, and clearly not getting the care he deserved. Thankfully, despite his condition, no serious infections were found—he was simply undernourished and had internal parasites, which were treated right away along with giving him supplements to regain his strength. The full medical protocol was started, and Rambo thrived in care.
​

more about rambo
Rambo is about 1.5 years old, weighs around 17 kilos, and is a Labrador mix. Rambo gets along beautifully with people of all ages, whether it is men, women, teenagers, or even young children, Rambo’s friendly nature shines through. Although he hasn’t been tested with cats yet, that can be arranged if needed. At the shelter, Rambo has only been exposed to the usual noises and the company of other dogs. When he sees dogs outside, he might bark once or twice but does not show aggression or try to pick fights. He is a good boy who shares his food, toys, and sleeping spots with his dog friends, but he sometimes chews on things that catch his attention, so a good stash of chew toys would be ideal to keep him happy. When meeting new people, Rambo gets a little overexcited and wants to play right away, sometimes a bit roughly with playful, gentle nibbles, which is his way of showing he wants to engage. He is full of life, always moving, always curious, and not a fan of being picked up or feeling restricted. He prefers space to move freely and a respectful approach that lets him feel safe and confident. He would do best with an active family who enjoys outdoor activities, adventures, and can keep up with his energetic spirit and give him the loving, forever home he has been waiting for.

JULIETA - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
A STORY OF RESILIENCE, HEARTBREAK AND HOPE
​Julieta was just a puppy when she was abandoned on the streets with her mother and four siblings, left to fend for themselves with no food and the constant danger of passing cars. When they arrived at the city shelter, they were dirty, undernourished, and covered in fleas and ticks. Tragically, Julieta’s siblings didn’t survive—but she held on, finding comfort in the presence of her mother. For a long time, a cage at the shelter was all Julieta knew. It wasn’t much, but at least she had her mom by her side. Then suddenly, everything changed again. Her mother was adopted, leaving Julieta alone for the first time in her life. The world, already unfamiliar and scary, became even harder to navigate. Socializing was difficult for her and Norma knew that Julieta needed to get out of the shelter to have a chance at a new life. She found a foster home for her and things started to improve. She got to experience life outside of a cage and has learned, step by step, what love, and safety feel like.

more about julieta
Julieta is a beautiful black & white mixed breed dog. She is about 3 years old and weighs 19 kilos. Julieta may have had a tough start in life, but beneath her shyness is a heart full of love just waiting to shine. She is sweet and affectionate, forming strong bonds with those who show her patience and kindness. She gets along well with adults and teenagers and is friendly with children. On her daily walks, she enjoys interacting with other dogs and watches cats with curiosity, never aggression. The world can still feel overwhelming to her at times. Loud noises and heavy traffic make her nervous, but with gentle reassurance, she is learning to feel safe. Having spent so much of her life without stability, she can be protective of her food, toys, and sleeping area. It’s not aggression, it is simply a habit from a life where she had to hold on to what was hers. With love and structure, she will continue to grow. Julieta is searching for a family who will give her the time she needs to adjust, someone who will show her that love doesn’t have to come with fear. Please help Julieta to find her family by sharing her album.

TOBY - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
​FULL OF RESILIENCE AND READY FOR LOVE
​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.

more about toby
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.

DUKE - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
​FROM FEAR TO TRUST AND LOVE
​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.
​
See tabs below for more information about Duke, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about duke
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.

Duke's adoption fee is $550, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

RAYAS - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
​READY FOR ADVENTURES AND A LOVING FAMILY
​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.
​
See tabs below for more information about Rayas, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos.
more about rayas
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.
adoption info
Rayas' adoption fee is $550, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

WAFFLES - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
​
​LOOKING FOR A FAMILY TO CALL HER OWN
​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.

ADOPTION PENDING
OREO - ADOPTION PENDING
​
​A SWEET GIRL READY FOR A FRESH START
​She was just a puppy who was in the care of a kind lady who reached out to Nayeli for help with her food and medical needs. For many years, she lived quietly in that home, but her life was not always easy as the lady was hardly able to cover her basic needs so when the shelter had a bit of space and things had gotten too hard for the woman, Nayeli brought this sweet girl into care. She arrived dirty, covered in fleas, but with a gentle spirit and so much love to give. She was given a full check-up, tested negative for scary illnesses and she was treated for parasites, getting her started on the medical protocol so she would be ready for the next chapter of her life.

more about OrEO
Oreo is about 5 years old, weighs around 35.5 kilos, and is a Shepherd mix. Oreo is sweet, loving, and has a heart as big as her playful energy. At the shelter, she is known for being the perfect hostess, greeting visitors with tail wags and kisses, playing happily with her dog friends, and even getting along wonderfully with cats. Nothing seems to shake Oreo’s confidence, not even loud traffic, motorcycles, or unexpected noises. She loves hopping in the car for a ride and looks forward to her daily walks where she can stop to smell the flowers and throw a few playful barks at dogs she meets along the way. Oreo is the perfect balance between relaxed and playful. She is gentle when sharing her food, toys, or even her favorite napping spot. She enjoys being close to people, happily soaking up love and attention. She would thrive in a home with space to roam, nap, and enjoy life at her own pace. Oreo is ready to give her heart to a family who will finally give her the forever home she deserves.
