HOLDEN
ONE KIND STRANGER SAVED HIS LIFE, NOW HE IS WAITING FOR A FAMILY There was a dog standing outside a restaurant, hoping that someone would share a little food with him. He was in heartbreaking condition—confused, weak, severely dehydrated, anemic, and covered in fleas and ticks. He had clearly been struggling to survive on his own for a while. A kind man who was in town on vacation could not walk away. He fed him and immediately took him to a veterinarian for urgent medical care. When it was time for him to return home, he left him in the veterinarian's care, covered all of his medical expenses, and made sure he had a chance at a better life. He also searched for help to find a safe shelter and, when contacted, Claudia with her big heart said yes and he was welcomed to the shelter. See tabs below for more information about Holden, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about holden
Holden is about 7 years old, weighs around 26.5 kilos, and is a loving Belgian Shepherd mix. Holden enjoys long walks, hiking adventures, and exploring the outdoors, but after he has had his exercise, he can be just as happy stretching out on the couch for a relaxing evening. He loves car rides, walks beautifully on a leash, and is not bothered by loud noises. Like many dogs, Holden has his own unique personality and while he can socialize with other dogs under supervision and even enjoys playing with a calm female friend at the shelter, he prefers not to share his space with dogs who challenge him. He is not the type to start conflicts, but if another dog repeatedly provokes him, he will stand his ground. Because of this, Holden would thrive best as the only dog in the home. He has not interacted with cats and has a strong instinct to chase birds, so a cat-free home is recommended. Holden would love a home with a securely fenced yard where he has room to run and play. Respectful children would make wonderful companions for him, and he would be happiest with a family that enjoys spending time outdoors and including him in everyday adventures. More than anything, Holden is looking for what every dog deserves: someone to love him, protect him, and never let him wonder where he belongs again; he has already survived the hardest chapter of his life and now he deserves the happiest one. adoption info
Holden's adoption fee is $500, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting. If you are ready to welcome Holden into your family, please see the links below to submit an adoption application and to review the adoption process.

RUBI - In a PV Foster & Looking for a FurEver Home
FROM THE ASHES, HOPE APPEARED AND SHE IS NOW SAFE, LOVED, AND THRIVING After a forest fire in the mountains south of Puerto Vallarta, Laura went to assess the damage. Instead, she was met by the sweetest surprise, a very friendly little puppy walking up to her as if asking for help. There were no homes close by, no people and no signs of anyone nearby. Laura waited, hoping someone would come looking for her, but no one did. Later, a neighbor shared heartbreaking news: the puppy had been seen crossing a busy road with another pup who was tragically hit by a car the day before. This little girl was now completely alone. Covered in ticks and fleas, filthy, underweight, exhausted from walking under the blazing sun across rough terrain, she was desperately thirsty and starving. Laura knew she could not leave her behind. She brought her home to safety, determined to find her the loving family she deserves. Despite her condition, there was good news as she tested negative for any life-threatening illnesses, so she received treatment for her dry skin, along with deworming and vitamins, and finally got the nourishment and care she needed all along. See tabs below for more information about Rubi, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about Rubi
Rubi is about 1 year old, weighs around 17 kilos, and is a loving Dutch shepherd mix beauty. Rubi is very sociable and affectionate, she truly loves everyone, both men and women. She is playful and when she gets excited, she may jump up for attention and can be a little rough during play, but it’s all part of her happy, energetic personality. She has never shown the slightest sign of aggression, in her foster home, she lives with three sisters of different sizes and ages, from tiny to bigger, and she plays wonderfully with all of them. The only “challenge” is that Rubi has energy for hours and sometimes her older sisters are ready for a nap long before she is. She can be slightly nervous around heavy traffic, but she handles thunderstorms and fireworks with confidence. Car rides are her favorite, she gets super excited at first because they mean adventure, then quickly settles down and relaxes on the back seat. With new dogs, she may be a little shy at first, but she has no negative reactions. She is affectionate, smart, and eager to please. Rubi loves cuddling on your lap during TV time, yet she’ll be the first one up if she hears something interesting. Rubi is a high-energy puppy who is full of life and enthusiasm! She needs daily exercise to burn off her energy to stay happy and balanced; whether it’s long walks, playtime, hikes, or backyard zoomies. An active family would be perfect for her! One day during a walk, a dog from a nearby porch suddenly growled at her. Startled, Rubi pulled back, slipped out of her leash, and in a heartbreaking instant, a passing car struck her right shoulder. She was rushed to emergency care and after X-Rays they found there were no broken bones and no internal injuries. However, the impact caused radial nerve neuropraxia (a trauma-related nerve injury) that temporarily affected her front leg, so she began therapy right away. For three months, she worked hard on her recovery, and true to her brave, resilient spirit, she healed beautifully. Today, she uses her right front leg normally and lives completely pain-free. As a precaution for the future, her vet recommends glucosamine with chondroitin to help protect her joints as she ages. The only small reminder of the accident is that her paw appears slightly flatter than normal when she walks but it is barely noticeable and does not affect her mobility or her joyful, active personality in any way. Rubi is a survivor, strong, loving, playful, full of life, and she is ready to find her forever family. adoption info
Rubi's adoption fee is $550, which includes her flight, spay, vaccinations, and full vetting.

BALTO - In a PV Foster & Looking for a FurEver Home
FROM TRASH TO JOURNEY TO LOVE A group of friends spotted a dog while stopping at a gas station, just as a large truck was about to hit him; he was seconds away from losing his life on a very busy highway. They acted immediately but had to run between cars and dodge traffic to save him. When they finally reached him, the dog seemed to understand they were there to help. He was gentle, calm, and cooperative, as if he knew his life was being saved. Balto was extremely thin, malnourished, covered in ticks, and very dirty. After asking gas station employees and people nearby, it became clear that he had no owner. That’s when they made the decision to rescue him. They took him into their car, got home where they gave him a much-needed bath, and brought him straight to the veterinarian. The good news: Balto had no life-threatening illnesses, but he was diagnosed with malnutrition, internal and external parasites, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma. With proper treatment, his recovery was fast and very successful See tabs below for more information about Balto, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about BALTO
Balto is about 2 years old, weighs 27 kilos, and is a handsome Shepherd mix. Balto gets along very well with people of all ages and does well with other dogs at the shelter. He is a social dog, but at times he can become very excited and try to take on a leader role during play, which may come across as a bit bossy. When playing with other dogs, he usually plays appropriately; however, if the play becomes too intense or out of control, he may respond defensively and get into a scuffle. If another dog attacks him, Balto will defend himself. Balto has been around cats, but he can be rough and overly enthusiastic, so a cat free house would be best. He does not show food aggression and is not possessive of toys or sleeping areas. He is also very stable and confident, as loud noises, heavy traffic, and thunderstorms do not stress him. Balto is a dog with very high energy and a strong need for activity. He loves to play, run, and interact and is well socialized, but he truly thrives with structure and regular exercise. He would do best in a home with an active family and preferably a large space where he can safely run and burn off energy. With the right environment and guidance, Balto will be a loyal, fun, and loving companion for an active household. adoption info
Balto's adoption fee is $550, which includes his flight, neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

KENNA & OTIS - In a BC Foster & Looking for a FurEver Home
TRUE SURVIVORS, READY FOR THEIR HOME SIDE BY SIDE Norma’s careless neighbor has a dog that had a litter of puppies on the street. They did not care and gave some away, but the three weakest remained behind. She didn’t realize how bad things were because they were kept confined in a doghouse on the sidewalk, out of sight. When she finally saw them, they were in terrible condition and practically abandoned. She could not look away and took the three puppies immediately… but sadly, one of them passed away just hours later. They were covered in fleas and ticks, with skin wounds caused by the infestation. They were severely malnourished, dirty and full of parasites. Despite everything they had endured, they stayed close to each other, finding comfort in their tiny, fragile bond. They were rushed to the veterinarian and started on internal and external deworming, antibiotics, special nutrition, and vitamins. With proper care, love, and patience, they began to heal, together. See tabs below for more information about KENNA & OTIS, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about kenna & otis
Kenna & Otis are 1 year old, little girl Kenna weighs 5 kilos (white with black and tan face) and her brother Otis (white with brown and tan face), and they are Chihuahua/ Rat terrier mix beauties. Today, Kenna and Otis are truly thriving. They play together, nap curled up side by side, and if one leaves the room, the other quickly follows. After losing their siblings and surviving neglect, they became each other’s comfort and safe place. Their bond is deep, pure, and beautiful. They have already lost so much, and so this bonded pair will remain together. These two are wonderful puppies: playful, independent, protective, and incredibly affectionate. They have a medium level of energy; they enjoy walks and playtime, but they’re just as happy relaxing on the couch with you at the end of the day. They get along well with men and women of all ages, though they can be a little shy at first when meeting new people. In their foster home, they don’t see strangers often, but when they do, they may start off timid only to reveal their sweet, loving nature once they feel safe. Kenna and Otis live peacefully with dogs of different sizes and ages, as well as cats. They are not aggressive at all. They mostly play with their canine siblings but coexist calmly with the cats and have never shown any negative behaviors toward them. Thunderstorms and fireworks make them slightly uneasy, but they are not noisy or reactive. They are currently learning to walk on a leash and still pull a bit, but they’re improving every day. One of their favorite things? Water! They love splashing and playing whenever their foster mom fills a container for them. They are used to having human company, but when left with their dog siblings for 5–6 hours, they do well. Like typical puppies, they may chew items left on the floor, so appropriate toys are important. Kenna and Otis are sweet, loyal companions just waiting for the right family to give them stability, patience, and love. If you’ve been thinking about adding love x2 to your life, these two will fill your home with double the joy, double the cuddles, and double the gratitude. adoption info
The adoption fee for KENNA & OTIS is $1000, which includes their flight, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and full vetting.

TINA - In a PV Foster & Looking for a FurEver Home
A GENTLE SOUL LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME Their mom lived a difficult life. She had a family, but they had very little and thus, she had very little. They were a kind family and loved her, but when you have nothing, everything is hard. She mostly lived on the street, got pregnant, had puppies and it stretched the situation beyond. They looked for help and found us. The mom and 5 puppies were picked up and taken to the vet for all the normal tests. The first is always distemper, and as soon as momma tested positive, we knew we were in trouble. She wasn’t showing any symptoms so maybe, just maybe, there was a chance. Distemper is very contagious, we knew the puppies had been exposed, and the family needed a place to fight. There was no space, but Claudia always makes magic happen and she did it again. She cleared out the home where smaller, younger and sick fosters normally stay so there was a quarantine area to receive them. They got all the best treatment possible – a special serum that is costly but helps greatly in the fight along with immune support medication. We did all we could and then we waited…three precious puppies did not make it, but mom Esmeralda and two puppies did (celebrate the victories!). Tina is one of the two lucky survivors. Against all odds, she fought…… and she won. See tabs below for more information about Tina, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about TINA
Tina is about 10 months old, weighs around 8.7 kilos, and is a beautiful mixed breed. Tina is a very sweet and special girl. She gets along well with women and men of all ages, and while she can be a little shy at first, once she feels safe her gentle and loving personality shines through. She does great with other dogs and gets along well with cats. Tina is comfortable sharing food and toys and enjoys spending her days playing calmly with her foster friends. Tina has a slight tic as a result of her distemper. It does not cause her pain and does not affect her quality of life; it’s simply a small part of what makes her unique. Loud noises and traffic do not bother her; she walks nicely on leash and behaves well when passing other dogs on the street. Tina is looking for a loving home that will allow her to blossom at her own pace and remind her every day that she is safe and loved. adoption info
Tina's adoption fee is $550, which includes her flight, spay, vaccinations, and full vetting.

CANELA - ADOPTION PENDING
A STORY OF RESILIENCE, LOVE, AND SECOND CHANCES Alma and a small group of devoted rescuers were alerted to two adult dogs and two puppies living in a backyard, sometimes tied to trees, without food or water and sometimes left to wander the streets just to survive. Despite the neglect, these loyal souls always found their way back to that house, trusting the only life they knew. When Alma saw them, she couldn’t turn away. They were frail, filthy, painfully thin, and covered in ticks and fleas. Their hunger was impossible to ignore. When she asked the owner if she could take them, he agreed without hesitation, calling them a burden. He admitted they were only kept as “alarms,” tied to trees to warn them of strangers. He said they were so thin because he couldn’t and didn’t want to take care of them. Even worse, he told her that if she didn’t take them, they would be dumped in the mountains. That moment changed everything for the four pups. They were taken to the vet, where tests thankfully came back negative for life-threatening illnesses. With deworming, vitamins, and proper care, their healing began and so did their chance of a brighter future. Canela was one of those. See tabs below for more information about Canela, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about CANELA
Canela is about 2.5 years old, weighs around 13 kilos, and is a loving Collie mix. Canela has one simple philosophy: every human is a friend she just hasn’t hugged yet. Adults and children, she adores them all and greets everyone with the same bright enthusiasm that instantly makes your day better. She loves playing with other dogs and is polite, happily sharing toys during playtime. Canela truly knows how to enjoy life, every moment is an opportunity for fun, connection, and love. She is also learning to walk on a leash (and doing great), discovering how exciting the world can be one step at a time. Mealtime? Absolute highlight of her day; she finishes her bowl, and then thoughtfully checks nearby bowls, just in case someone else needs “help.” A generous queen. Canela will thrive with an active family who wants a true companion, someone to join them on adventures, be part of daily routines, and most importantly, belong. That’s all Canela wants: a family to call her own. After everything she has been through, Canela is now thriving and showing her true self, happy, loving, and full of life. adoption info

MAX - In a PV Foster & Looking for a FurEver Home
A FUREVER HOME IS ALL HE NEEDS Alma and a small group of devoted rescuers were alerted to two adult dogs and two puppies living in a backyard, sometimes tied to trees, without food or water and sometimes left to wander the streets just to survive. Despite the neglect, these loyal souls always found their way back to that house, trusting the only life they knew. When Alma saw them, she couldn’t turn away. They were frail, filthy, painfully thin, and covered in ticks and fleas. Their hunger was impossible to ignore. When she asked the owner if she could take them, he agreed without hesitation, calling them a burden. He admitted they were only kept as “alarms,” tied to trees to warn them of strangers. He said they were so thin because he couldn’t and didn’t want to take care of them. Even worse, he told her that if she didn’t take them, they would be dumped in the mountains. That moment changed everything for the four pups. They were taken to the vet, where tests thankfully came back negative for life-threatening illnesses. With deworming, vitamins, and proper care, their healing began and so did their chance of a brighter future. Max was one of those puppies.

Max is about 8 months old, weighs 7.5 kilos, and is a charming Shepard mix.

Max is still learning to walk on a leash, and while loud noises like motorcycles or heavy traffic can make him a little nervous, with patience and reassurance, he continues to grow more confident every day and his gentle spirit shines through. He will thrive with an active family who can continue his training and, most importantly, show him that he is safe, loved, and truly belongs. Max is ready to light up your life. adoption info

LUCKY - ADOPTION PENDING
Yes, his name says it all. Lucky was living on the streets, hungry and alone. One day, while wandering, he followed a woman down the road and that simple act saved his life. She saw he was about to be hit, twice by large trucks and managed to pull him out of danger just in time. She couldn’t turn her back on him. Instead, she took him home and immediately made a veterinary appointment to rule out any illnesses. At the vet, it was clear Lucky was suffering from severe stomach pain caused by eating garbage while trying to survive on the streets. He was very thin, malnourished, and exhausted from hunger. He tested negative for life-threatening illnesses and only needed internal and external parasite treatments, along with vitamins, to help him recover from the malnutrition he suffered while living on the streets. See tabs below for more information about Lucky, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about LUCKY
Lucky is an approximately one year old male that weighs around 10 kilos and is a handsome Cattle dog mix. Today, Lucky is safe and thriving in his foster home. Despite everything he’s been through, he remains a sweet, grateful boy who is ready for a fresh start. He gets along beautifully with adults, teenagers and children, as well as other dogs at the shelter. He enjoys welcoming visitors and has a confident, balanced personality; loud street noises, thunderstorms, and fireworks don’t bother him. He rides calmly in the car when going to the vet and walks very well on leash, truly enjoying his walks and happily saying hello to other dogs he meets along the way. Lucky has no issues sharing his food bowl or toys with other dogs and behaves well in off-leash environments. At the shelter home, Lucky knows how to relax too; he’s allowed to chill on the sofa, enjoy long naps, and watch other dogs play until he decides it’s time to join the fun. Lucky already knows basic commands such as “ven” (come), “sentado” (sit), and of course “no.” He is an active, playful boy who loves running and playing, so he would thrive with an active family ready to include him in their adventures. Lucky didn’t choose the streets, but he chose to trust a human. Now he’s hoping someone will choose him. adoption info

BOBBY - In a PV Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
FROM A BOX ON THE ROAD TO A CHANCE AT LOVE: ENERGETIC AND READY FOR HIS FAMILY The story of a full litter of young dogs began in the cruelest way: they were stuffed into a box and discarded on a low-traffic road on the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta. Left in the middle of nowhere, filthy, starving, and covered in fleas, they had no chance of surviving on their own. But fate stepped in, a kind soul spotted the box, opened it… and immediately sprang into action. With determination (and a bit of luck), they found a shelter that had just a couple of open spaces and they welcomed the whole litter. At the vet, they were checked from head to toe and despite being malnourished and neglected, every test for life-threatening illnesses came back negative… these babies wanted to live. Bobby was one of those lucky puppies. See tabs below for more information about Bobby, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about Bobby
Bobby is about 3 years old, weighs around 19.5 kilos, and is a mixed breed. Bobby is now thriving at the shelter. He loves people of all ages and enjoys spending time with his foster dog siblings. He is a confident dog who doesn’t get bothered by loud noises like heavy traffic, thunderstorms, or even fireworks. Every day, he looks forward to his walks outside the shelter, where he walks well on a leash and greets any dogs he meets along the way. He has an affectionate personality and loves being close to his humans. Bobby is playful, full of energy, and always ready for attention. He sometimes jumps up gently to touch or lick your face, simply because he wants to be close and loved. He is especially fond of children and people who enjoy a cuddly, affectionate dog who wants to be involved in everything. At the shelter, the only time he might get into a mild scuffle is when there are many people around and he wants to be the first to receive affection. It’s not aggression—just his way of saying he wants to be noticed. He has no issues sharing his food, toys, or his favorite places to sleep, and he’s happy to let others into his space. Because Bobby is full of energy, he would do best in an active home where he can go on daily walks and have plenty of space to run and play. He would be very happy living with another playful dog or with children who can match his enthusiasm. He does give small, playful nibbles on your arm or hip when he wants attention, and sometimes he jumps up to get closer to your face, but it all comes from a place of love and his desire to connect. adoption info

ESMERALDA - In a Campbell River Foster and looking for a loving FURever home
A FIGHTER'S JOURNEY TO LIFE AND HOPE She was found tied up outside a home, left to fend for herself and her puppies. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s shown incredible resilience. She had been “living” outdoors with a family who provided little care, and her situation was clearly heartbreaking. Someone reached out to us for help, and we stepped in to give her and her babies a chance at a better life. She has visible scars along her back and body—large, significant marks that tell a story we may never fully know. We can’t say for certain when or how she got them, or if they were caused by the family she was with, but it’s clear she experienced some form of abuse in her past. After routine vet testing, she was diagnosed with distemper. Although she initially showed no symptoms, the virus is highly contagious and her puppies had already been exposed, so they all received the best possible care. Sadly, Claire, Richie, and Sydney left this world too soon despite all efforts. Esmeralda continued to fight and, after a long battle, she overcame the virus. She does have a slight neurological tick that will remain, but we don’t see it as a flaw. It’s simply part of her story and a lasting reminder of just how strong and resilient she is. See tabs below for more information about Esmeralda, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about esmeralda
Esmeralda is about 2 years old, weighs around 19.5 kilos, and is a beautiful mixed breed. Because of her past, any nervousness or hesitation she shows is completely understandable. She simply needs time, patience, and a safe space to feel secure and let her true personality shine. Esmeralda has made an incredible recovery and is a sweet, gentle soul. It’s clear right away how much she loves people—she’s a total cuddle bug who happily soaks up affection and will curl up right beside you. Her soft, loving nature makes her easy to fall in love with. That said, the world can still feel big and overwhelming for her. She’s a sensitive, sometimes nervous pup who is learning that she’s safe. She’ll need a patient, understanding home—someone willing to go at her pace, celebrate small victories, and help her build confidence over time. With kindness and consistency, she will truly blossom. She does well with other dogs, both big and small, and a calm canine companion could help her feel even more secure. It’s been especially rewarding to see her start to open up through play—she’s discovering toys and learning how to have fun, and that spark is just beginning to shine. She’s still working on basics like house training and leash skills, so her future family should be ready to continue guiding her with patience and encouragement. Rainy days can be a bit challenging for potty breaks, but she’s trying her best and will improve with support. At night, she settles well in her crate and sleeps comfortably, which is a great foundation for her routine. Esmeralda is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, move at her own pace, and continue growing into the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be. With a gentle heart and a little patience, she will give back so much love. adoption info

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.

Otto looks like a Rhodesian Ridgeback Shepherd mix, is about 1.5 years old and weighs around 15.70 kilos.

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 info

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. See tabs below for more information about Rambo, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. 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. adoption info

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. See tabs below for more information about Toby, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. 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. adoption info
Toby's adoption fee is $500, 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

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. See tabs below for more information about Waffles, adoption info, and links to our social media accounts where you can find more photos. more about waffles
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 info
