I would like to start by saying thank you for visiting our website.

My story is not uncommon with regards to loving dogs. Specially old and helpless dogs who may have been abandoned or abused on the streets of Mexico.

I was born in Mexico City and since I was a child, I wanted to rescue every dog I would see roaming the streets in search for food or water or shelter. I would ask my father to please take them home with us. But of course, it was not possible. Ever since, my dream was to one day be able to rescue as many dogs as I possibly could.

I started rescuing abandoned dogs in 2007. I was living in the worst part of Mexico City and there were many dogs loose on the street. It was at my father’s defunct factory, on a large property with an old dilapidated house that I had to practically rebuild, in order to make it livable. My father’s property was also the cemetery for every dog we ever had, and eventually of the rescued dogs that lived with us until they died.

I will tell you the stories about those dogs in my blog.

Once the property was sold, I returned with my rescued labrador retrievers Kinga and Daisy, back to the USA. Although I also dreamed of living by the sea, that only came about in 2017 when I purchased my house in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. One of the nicest states to live in. Full of culture, Art and sadly, a severe overpopulation of stray dogs.

I felt the need and the desire to save as many as I could. Mostly old dogs. I needed help to find homes for Sombra’s puppies. Sombra was my first mama rescue and I did not know what I was getting into. As the puppies grew, I was desperate for help in finding them a good forever home. I am so grateful for Saving Great Animals

The puppies were sent to Seattle and adopted by awesome people. They also took in Tina and Negrillo and will tell their stories in my blog.

I decided to start my own non-profit when I was left hanging by a foundation who promised to help me. I was left very disappointed by the ingratitude and disrespect shown to me by the founder and her employees. After all, I paid for every dog she arranged to send twice over. I worked for free trying to help this person and spent money I did not have. So I was just another sucker who fell for the lies and false promises. Such dishonesty and hypocrisy, I could not accept it. I got a kick in the behind. It made me physically sick quite frankly. It took me a long while to get over such betrayal. I wanted to throw in the towel.

Unfortunately, I was defamed and burned with anyone who rescues animals here in PV. It is like a competition of who gets to save a particular dog. Of course not all of these organizations here are this way. I wish we could all pool our resources and be able to save even more dogs. I have asked for help but I can’t hold my breath for someone to step forward and actually help me without abusing my generosity towards them. I would like to believe that they simply can’t instead of that they won’t.

So here I am, doing it on my own.

We have 45 dogs including the 11 puppies who need a home. My house by the sea, became a Sanctuary for old animals. Dogs, Horses, a Donkey and three river Turtles that grew up in captivity and can’t be set free.

I am dealing with breast cancer and I am worried about the puppies not finding a good home in the event that I die. I am hoping someone will give me a hand to send them to the USA or Canada. I will pay whatever is necessary. Every puppy is sterilized and vaccinated and have their health certificate. Ready to fly!

I won’t generate any expenses. Please help me!

Thank you
