My momma lived on the streets of a poor neighborhood in Campeche and we were born on the streets. A local lady took us in and tried to help us, but she didn’t know what to do until she came to a spay and neuter clinic and got connected to some non-profit organizations. So by the time I arrived at my foster home, I was very ill and needed emergency medical attention. I wasn’t able to eat or put on any weight. After specialist care and quiet time by myself and my temporary fosters, I rejoined my brother who has now left me to live his best life in his forever home in Europe. I was given my name by someone I thought would take me home with them but the timing wasn’t right. I do hope I get to find my forever home soon. Could you be my forever home?
Just like the moon I am a ball of light and reflect my environment. Now I am healthy, I shine brightly and love playing with my friends. Due to my start I am reserved at first and with people I don’t know; I do really appreciate quiet time and cuddles to remind me that I am safe and sound. I don’t mind if this is from adults or children as long as you can share your love with me. Then I will show you my playful side and also my soft and strokeable belly. My beautiful eyes reflect my gentle soul and I hope that when you look into them, you see how special I am.

I’m Twenty-Two – named for my super cute extra toes!
I don’t know why but my brothers and I were left in a dark, scary, horrible place inside a black garbage bag. On the side of the road in hot sunny Mexico. We didn’t know where we were but quickly ate our way out, puppy instincts are a good thing haha. We were too young to look after ourselves and it was still hot and there were a lot of cars going by. Luckily a wonderful lady found us and immediately rushed us to her home. I was very sick and took longer than my brothers to recover (he’s gone to Canada and says it’s nice there, so now that I am better maybe I can go too? I would like that a lot!!)
I love belly rubs, cuddles, and playing with my friends, especially in the water. I am a gentle soul who is very calm and likes to observe what is going on around me and want someone to hang out with. My foster mommas always say how proud and impressed they are when I do very well in all situations and are hopeful of finding the perfect home for me. I am a beautiful boy but have a few extra toes which make me a bit clumsy sometimes. But I think my toes add to my wonderful personality, hopefully, you do too! If you are looking for a quiet, attentive dog I think I could be the dog for you.

Small female dog, 9.5 kilos, approx 3 years old, good with kids, dogs and cats!
Kira is sweet and loving – playful but not hyper. Very well-behaved and quiet except if she hears something, then she is a good little watchdog.
She is med/small – with her back equaling the height of my knee, and I am only 5″ tall.
Kira is great with kids and other dogs. She is good with my cats, but she will chase them if they run across the yard – but she doesn’t do anything to them once she catches them. She lives with a fat tiger cat who doesn’t run, and she allows him to rub up against her.
Kira can be shy at first with new people and dogs, but she opens up quickly (especially with treats as a motivator).
She is chill but also playful. She would be a good dog for a single person looking for a nice companion or a family looking for a loving dog.
She looks like a cross between a Shar Pei and a Min Pin – not kidding. Her face and butt are wrinkly – but the rest of her is smooth. She is a golden tawny color! She will look like a puppy for the rest of her life. She is freaking adorable.
Luci is very active and would need an active household with either kids or a playful dog Luci likes to RUN, so a fenced yard would be great for her! Luci is a super smart little pup!

When Leo was rescued as part of a street pack sterilization campaign in January 2023, he was very nervous and fearful of humans.
His whole pack had various levels of the flu, but his had reached his lungs and was very sick and needed help walking and eating for days. With lots of help and specialized care we got him back on his feet and we knew he couldn’t go back on the street.
Now, Leo is a bundle of joy, he has learned that humans can give the best cuddles and he is nearly always smiling (the rest of the time he is napping nearby). Leo is a medium energy dog but with friends is very playful and loves running around. Leo is a very curious soul who will be watching your every move with his signature tilted head or contagious smile. He is great with both human and dog company. Leo is great with children and farm animals.

She was found near a supermarket. The kids were playing with her. But the adults were kicking her and throwing water on her to get her away. She was limping too. No serious injury. She was already sterilized so she was probably someone’s pet before.
Foster assessment:
Sunny is the perfect dog for a family or for a person who likes walks and affection. She loves playing with other dogs and kids but it is also very patient and waits in her cage until walk time arrives. She loves affection and to be cuddled too. As long as she has some time for playing, going for walks and receiving the love she deserves, she will be an extremely well-behaved dog.

Foster assessment Casimiro is a sweet and affectionate dog. He is friendly with everyone he meets, except cats (not his fault, he had bad influence from another dog. We think he can make peace with cats if given the opportunity and training). Casimiro is great meeting new dogs outside, inside his home, he currently lives with 2 small chihuahua dogs and 2 bigger dogs. He is a good companion in and out of the house. When inside he can occasionally bark at noises from the outside. At restaurants or public places he behaves well, calm and picks his place to lay. He is curious of his surroundings and friendly to the people around. Casimiro loves riding on the side of a bicycle, gives the occasional run, and of course his daily walks. He is a great walker. He is not skitish nor nervous, but takes his distance from toddlers. Older kids he is fine and loving and playful with them. Everyone he meets agrees that Casimiro is adorable, so chill and cool. His long tongue, his pointy ears that are very expressive and his silly faces melt everyone. Casimiro was rescued with many and severe skin infections, he lost all his fur at once. Today he is soft, has good quality hair, and no shedding at all. The only downside we can spot about Casimiro is that he marks territory, mostly in new territories. So when in restaurants or new places we must be attentive to avoid a pee. After he settles in the space he looses the need of marking. We trust that with some more training and one on one with him he will overcome this.
Rescue Story : Casimiro was rescued June 27 of 2021 on a lonely road in the middle of the yucatan jungle, far from any visible town. He was clearly exhausted, and weak from disease, thirst, and hunger. He was picked up by Dra. Carolina Ancona, who was on her way from Mérida to Colonia Yucatán, a very small town in the Yucatán state where we were holding a free spay and neuter clinic. She and her team put Casimiro inside their car despite the very bad smell that came from his skin. Once arrived to Colonia Yucatán, our vets checked him out and we prepared a comfortable kennel for him to spend the weekend during our clinic. After finishing a two-day successful clinic we made an exchange with Dra. Carolina. Our Cozumel team had rescued 3 cats in Colonia, but we had no foster available for them back in the island. Dra. Carolina did.. So we exchanged and we took Casimiro to Cozumel and Dra. Carolina took 3 cats to Mérida. His recovery journey was long. His skin had fungus, bacteria, mites, wounds and a terrible smell. With treatment he lost all his fur, (that was kind of cool as he got to look like a xoloitzcuintle for a few weeks, haha). He was also sick with heartworm, erlichia, anaplasma, and had a severe ear infection. He survived it all. And that is how our life was blessed with Casimiro, a truly affectionate pup who despite having been so hurt and in so much despair, he overcame and still kept his sweetness.

We get the tear to see Yogo portrayed in such a beautiful way.We combined Yogo’s good looks and the great talent of Kenia Intuitiva Fotografia to bring you this series of incredible canine photographs to delight your hearts and ask you to help us share Yogo’s story with the intention of finding him his ideal family or person.The story is relatively short but I want to make it longer… I’m inspired and want to write, so if you feel like reading: welcome to Yogo’s post. If you don’t want to read, but you think Yogo looks super handsome in the photos, please just share this post!*rolls up sleeves*It is a hot day in the town of Colonia Yucatán. June 2021. A sterilization campaign was set up with a goal of 200 free surgeries.The morning starts busy, volunteers here, responsible owners there, puppies and kittens everywhere.And that’s when Yogo enters the room. Without a human companion, he comes alone.His imposing bearing and the scars on his face caught the attention of all attendees. Who is its owner? – we ask ourselves and ask all the attendees of the campaign.We searched but no one claimed him. We noticed that he had testicles so we did what had to be done: anesthesia and bye eggs!A few hours after his recovery we released him in the hope that he would go home. But Yogo had other plans. His plan was to stay. Despite being free, he chose to stay at the campaign site greeting other puppies and people.We asked around in town if anyone recognized Yogo, if they knew who he was or where he lived, and no one knew anything.Yogo’s unmatched charisma made it impossible for us to leave him in Colonia Yucatán, where he ran all the risks of a stray dog, so we brought him to Cozumel to begin his rescue process and be put up for adoption.Since then Yogo has lived temporarily with Mariana and 4 puppies of all sizes and 2 kittens. With kittens he is not very good. It’s not bad but wanting to play with them has hurt them.At home, Yogo is a calm dog, he is sweet, he has a good temper, he does not bark at strangers, he is not hyperactive. He will take advantage of any moment to approach you to be caressed, hugged and kissed. But he is also quite independent. He likes to have his space, lie down to enjoy the breeze when he finds it.What is so special about Yogo?Well, Yogo has a passion: exercise, muscle building, running, playing with 100% energy with the beautiful body that he was born with!Every day he goes for a run next to Mariana’s bicycle (always on a leash).They also go to the baseball field to play fetch. Yogo loves his toys and with all excitement and vigor he will play until he is tired.Watching him sprint is exciting. His happiness is contagious. Many humans would like to be as fulfilled as Yogo. Yogo is a dog, Yogo plays, Yogo runs, Yogo is happy.Already tired and satisfied, he will look for a shady area to lie down and pant comfortably and calmly.Yogo is a dog with a lot of personality, very sure of himself. His owner / family / adopter must have the same or greater security than him. He is an obedient dog, but if you give him weak instructions he will not listen to you.Like any passionate being, when Yogo doesn’t exercise for several days he gets cranky, behaves roughly with his little dog brothers and can even bite something that he normally wouldn’t bite.This behavior does not make Yogo a bad dog.All dogs need some degree of physical and mental stimulation. The amount depends on each race and each individual. Yogo is definitely not a poodle. Yogo is an athletic dog with a lot of muscle. He is not a dog for any person/family. Do you have what it takes to adopt Yogo?-You don’t need a house with a huge garden. What you need is will and desire to go running with him. Go swimming, play ball, ride a bike or skateboard. Even playing squash on a wall in your house can be enough sometimes. Its ok if one day he cannot go out, its not the end of the world for him, but several days without is not ideal. -You need the attitude of a leader and basic knowledge of canine language to be Yogo’s best friend and guide. So that your relationship is always evolving and both live great experiences and many adventures.-You need to be an active person. Don’t be lazy to grab the leash and tell Yogo let’s go to the park! Let’s explore the city! Let’s go to the beach, let’s go to the forest, let’s go for a walk!-Preferably no children under 15 at home. Yogo can be a bit rough when he plays.-No cats!-There can be other dogs at home, as long as they are stable dogs, there is correct leadership at home and each one is given the attention they require.Yogo is sterilized, vaccinated, dewormed, he was tested for Heartworm, erlichia, lyme, anaplasma, control blood counts, monthly preventives for fleas, ticks, heartworm.. you name it Yogo is ready to find the love of his life.

Guero walks nicely on leash and loves to run off-leash. Super cuddly. Friends of dogs: friendly with dogs of similar size, people and puppies. He wants to be the boss of other dogs and isn’t comfortable in a pack of more than 2-3 other dogs. Gentle with children.Children’s friends: Probably fine as long as the friends are animal friendly. Very gentle with kids. Etiquette with a leash: walks nicely on the leash. Small animals like squirrels and cats he considers prey and will chase if given the opportunity.
Resource: No resource food guarding. Loves toys but also loves to destroy“indestructible” toys within minutes. Barking/loud: doesn’t initiate barking but will join in if other dogs start the ruckus. Will bark at cats and intruders. Domestic: totally housebroken, never an accident in the house. Good in the car: Yes, calm in the car.
TEMPERAMENT
Guero loves his humans and is very affectionate. He’d be a lap dog if allowed. He behaves if told NO when he goes where he isn’t wanted (Like laps). Gets excited for visitors and walks and food but is also content to lie on the sofa all day looking out the window. He has lived in a house since his rescue in September 2021. He’s had professional boarding with great reviews and four months of professional training but needs refreshers sometimes. He learns quickly.
RESCUE STORY
Guero was found in a cardboard box in the jungle in September 2021 with horrific injuries. He had multiple surgeries and months of treatment to close his wounds of unknown source. He will always have physical scars but has overcome his emotional scars. He could easily live with a family with older kids. He’s never been around babies. Cats are NOT ok. A fenced yard is preferred.
Through no fault of her own as her owner passed away 🙁 , Lulu is looking for a new home. Good with other dogs and cats. Kennel-trained, also likes to sleep with humans. Within a family; she absolutely loves kids and she bonds extremely well with her people. She’s very cuddly and loves human contact. She’s quiet and would be happy sleeping all day on the couch or following her human around. She has zero food aggression. She is a true little love bug with her own people. She is gentle and really good on a leash.
It takes her a while to bond and trust new people, which would include her new family. She is fearful of new people especially if she feels scared/cornered/trapped, etc., and has reacted when she feels threatened or overwhelmed. She does well with an experienced dog owner who understands the importance of being alpha and giving discipline when needed. She would do best in a quiet, predictable home. Firm leadership is all she really needs to thrive.

Age .3 years, Male, size medium, 16.2 kg, Energy-Medium.
He loves going on walks.. is good on a leash, likes short runs on the beach, or can run next to a bicycle or skateboard. The rest of day mostly sleeping.
Friendly with female dogs some male dogs are super friendly with people.
Cats he finds interesting but not fully exposed to.
Sometimes he can growl or bark during walks to specific dogs he feels uncomfortable with, this can be easily corrected.
Children -he is friendly, gentle, and calm. But because of some vision difficulty would not recommend children younger than 12 years. He is happy walking .loves to walk side by side with his foster sister’s dogs, loves to smell almost everything, he explores a lot during walks. Like squeaky toys. He doesn’t bark much, but when someone is at the door he will bark to greet visitors.
Sometimes he barks when he hears unfamiliar sounds on the street
From day 1. This showed me he was a house dog and not a street dog.
Good in car, loves to go for car ride.
Temper. sweet, gentle. calm..he even asks permission from his foster sisters, not an alpha dog at all .
With food, he makes a happy dance but always waits for his bowl..
He’s not asking for attention he just wants to be present in the surrounding
He likes to lie down in the hallway or in front of doors..
He can stay many hrs alone in the house.
He loves sleeping outside on the patio or inside in his own bed.
Rescue story.
I first saw him running on the beach looking and following everybody. he joined us.( My 3 dogs and me) then left again. looking.A few days later he was there again and he followed us home. I gave him food. water .that evening we went with us on a walk. He was so happy and looked up with so much love it pulled a string deeply in my heart
That evening he followed me without a leash. when I went into a shop he walked by but coming outside he wasn’t there anymore. went looking for him 4 days and asked around everywhere.
Then about 1 week later he was at the other end of town y I knew is a sign I will rescue him and help him find a forever home.
After some time I started doubting his eyesight as he was clumsy.
Sometimes bumping against poles or didn’t see sidewalk steps.
It came clear when he didn’t see barbwire and run straight into it.
The opthalmologist gave medicine and eye drops.
How his eyesight is at this moment he sees shadows and big things details like pals on the street he doesn’t see.
Also, things coming from the sides he doesn’t see so he can get scared and react.
But I haven’t seen his eyesight being he big problem for him. if you wouldn’t know him you would never be able to guess he has vision problems.
He does more than other dogs that don’t have eye problems but as his owner, it will come with some special manual..to protect him to not damage himself. for Ahau is super confident.
Each day is a new opportunity for great adventures. he is always happy and so grateful.
He must have had an owner before. Ahau is not a street dog and wouldn’t survive on the street by himself.
He directly makes a very deep bonding with the human that takes care of him. I have rescued other dogs before but the bonding and love this pup gives us beyond words.
He deserves a family that is able to give him fun. walks free in nature..in a safe environment and with the protection of a loving home

Behaviors
Temperament:
The vet says she is two years old but her temperament is that of an 8-month-old puppy, she plays with everything she finds, she is very affectionate, she is not shy, she lives very well with dogs and cats, she is obedient, she likes to be around people, giving kisses, having her belly scratched, she is very intelligent and sociable, she likes to watch people from the balcony without bark and knows how to walk on a leash, she loves the street but she also knows how to lie quietly in the room if you are around, she tries to climb on the bed (we think the person who raised her allowed it) but you say no!! She understand very well that Word; she is 100% indoor and tells you when she needs to go to the bathroom. She will follow you wherever you go. She is not a dog that barks for anything, only when necessary; she likes to play with her tail and steal the cats’food without you noticing. She is definitely a very smart, spontaneous and affectionate girl.

Rescue Story:
She arrived at the door of our house, clean, recently sterilized and with a nice collar, but her family never showed. We assume she had a home in her first months of life and for some reason they let her go after sterilizing her because she is not fearful, from her attitude we are sure that she grew up with love.
Foster assessment
Chapis lives with us from January.
She seemed shy and was afraid to enter the house but that shyness lasted 5 minutes, as soon as she entered she climbed on the sofa and fell asleep, then she was introduced to my three dogs and she had no problem living with them, she plays a lot with our Platanito 12 year old dog, the other two are female but although they are younger than Platanito they play very little but do not fight among themselves. Everyone choose their space, they eat and drink from the same dishes and they don’t fight or bark at each other, she integrates very easily, we think she is not an alpha female.
She will adapt to any family since she can be calm lying inside the house, looking out the balcony or playing on the terrace alone, with dogs or with children. She will definitely steal your heart because she is a dog that likes to be close to you but she doesn’t bark to get your attention, if she can’t be with you she will look for something to entertain herself to come fill you with kisses when you arrive

Rescue Story:
Tonet showed up following a family to a new rental house. The wife told the owner of the house that dog wasn’t theirs… that he just followed them because he had a very special relationship with his 10 year old son. We never believed that woman’s tale. She taught the kid to throw water at the dog so he will stop following him! He was always wandering the streets and waiting for the kid outside the house. One day, a lady from that building called an independent rescuer explaining to her that the dog went into her shop, and looked sick, smelling very bad. Other dogs attacked him and was badly injured. He was taken to the vet. Had a severe infection on his mouth due another dog’s bites. So he couldn’t eat, the injure was completely rotten. He was all flesh and bones. He had a successful surgery but then tested positive to heartworm disease. He was taken by the independent rescuer to her house until they could find him a foster. During that time he was good with the other 3 dogs he shared patio and walks with. Moved to a foster where he lives with another dog. No issues at all. His new foster says he is such a good boy, likes to cuddle in bed with her an the other dog. He is both playfull and calm. And above all, super loving and thankful.
Foster assessment
Tonet is a friendly, very gentley and also playful dog. He loves people, and as soon as he understands you are not a threat, he will approach you looking for your attention, and always ready to be petted.
He loves playing with his ball and even try to play with the other dogs at his old foster house. When he wants to play, pick up his ball and brings it to you to show you is ready for a game. When he was taken to the shelter, he immediately got along with the dog he needed to share space with.
He did not liked his leash at first, but as soon as he understood it was part of the routine to go for a walk, he will easily allow you to put it on. He is an extremely fast learner. Same thing happened with his create. As soon as he understood that was his safe place, you don’t need to make any effort for him to get in. He just goes there and lies down with a big teddy that he used as pillow.
He was used to play with a 10 year old kid, and for sure he misses him.
He will be the perfect to live with a family, but also with a single person with or without other dogs because he is so easy going.
Being used to wonder the streets, the only thing we need to be careful with is not to feed him if there are other dogs around and leave him unattended. Otherwise he will defend his food and could start a fight if he thinks dogs want to eat his food.
He will easily adjust to his new home because learns very very fast and has so much love to give.
