We typically start flying dogs to the US in the spring
We find homes for some of the dogs in Mexico, but it’s difficult because there are dogs EVERYWHERE. And sadly, new puppies are born almost daily.
Los Perros Perdidos, in partnership with Paws in Action Cancun, conducts as many spay and neuter clinics as we can, thereby helping to reduce the number of puppies born. This takes time and money, and with your help, we can do more.
Things you can do:
- Donate
- Buy a T-shirt (we have partnered with Bonfire and tahoetshirtsandgifts to offer these print-on-demand garments)
- Adopt don’t shop
- Volunteer
