Click here to visit the Baja Dogs Website
There you can see photos of all the dogs up for adoption as well as more information about the charity and a Paypal link in order to make online donations from anywhere in the world. Baja Dogs is a registered Mexican charity so all proceeds are tax deductible, and plans are to also become a US registered charity by year-end in order to attract more much-needed donations. There is also a lost and found page, and Baja Dogs has already been successful in reuniting several dogs with their owners. Baja Dogs is continually looking for volunteers to help with fundraising, playing with the dogs, helping with the education program, the website and the future shop, and generally getting the word out to the public. Donations not only of money, but also of dog food, blankets, towels, collars and lots of cleaning supplies and bleach are welcome! Baja Dogs is located in Centenario on the main highway right opposite Plaza Centenario and is open every day from 8am-1pm and 4pm-8pm. You can call 612 124 8433

Still Looking for Homes... |
|||||
|
“SABRINA” is without doubt our most affectionate dog and is desperate for a loving home. She is a medium-sized dog, about 1 year old and will make a great watchdog as well as a loyal companion.
“HUGO” is about 3 months old
and has a lot of personality! He loves to play and gets on well
with everyone, including children and other dogs. He was found
abandoned on the beach with his sister who was recently adopted. |
“ASKIN” is just over 3 months old and his bright little eyes are full of intelligence and love. He was found starving on the side of the highway just outside La Paz. He will probably be a medium to large-sized dog.
“JACK” – Jack is our most senior dog, who was abused and left with a bad leg. He has a sweet temperament and just wants a quiet loving home. He would make a loyal companion and would not require much exercise, just lots of affection. |
“MILLY” is about 4 months old and came to the shelter with her sister Pilly when she was only a few weeks old. Both had severe skin diseases but Pilly recovered faster and was adopted out. Milly is a quiet, loving dog who will make a great lap dog.
These 3 cuddly lab-cross pups are part of a litter of 6 that were found in a box on the side of the road and have needed a lot of care. They are now healthy and excited to find homes! |

Since
June when Baja Dogs Helpline of La Paz first opened its doors to the
street dogs of La Paz it has already saved over 60 dogs. Two thirds of
these have already been adopted out to homes in the La Paz area, a
couple were even flown to Vancouver, Canada to new homes. In fact the
very first dog to arrive at the shelter, Poncho, a stray from the
streets of Centenario, now resides with a fireman in Whistler, British
Columbia, and will be experiencing his first snow very soon… 
All
new admissions to the refuge are bathed, checked for ticks and fleas and
kept quarantined from the other dogs for 7 days to check they have no
infectious diseases. All dogs are fully vaccinated and spayed or
neutered prior to adoption. Baja Dogs has a no-kill policy; as a result,
some of the older, perhaps less desirable dogs have been at the center
since its opening and the dream of everyone at the refuge, particularly
founder Dhorea Ryon, is to ultimately create a “retirement home” for the
dogs that cannot find homes. 
Baja
Dogs has an on-site veterinarian, Marisol Arrellano Perez, who attends
to Baja Dogs but is also available to see clients every afternoon from
5pm-8pm Monday-Friday and every Saturday morning. The refuge also hosts
a dog-groomer and soon plans to open a shop selling pet food and
accessories. All net proceeds will go to Baja Dogs. The long-term plan
is also to care for cats but lack of space and funding has held this at
bay, so for now cats and kittens are sent to foster homes. One litter of
kittens was recently sent to a local volunteer whose chihuahua has taken
to nursing kittens.
