If you could see what I saw, you wouldn’t have to ask. Yet that is the question I get ALL THE TIME. Why am I bringing or working to rescue dogs from Mexico when there are so many here (in the U.S.) that need help too? As my friend, Pamela, who has rescued wolf dogs […]

The day was finally here … the journey home began at the Cancun airport at 7:30 a.m. Karin picked me up at the apartment at 6:30. She had the two pups and another crate for Nucita. We met Nucita with Dayli and Ana at the airport and here we go. Amazing ladies: Ana, Dayli and […]
It’s about a week before I have to return to the states and I have only one dog to bring home when my goal was three. My intention was to capture the “Dreams” dogs but that did not work out (not yet!). Then I met Karin. She has ideas. She also has 30 dogs at […]
The month of March was moving into the second half and I still had not figured out a situation for the “Dream” dogs. One night, I had walked up to the corner store and came back through the gate to find Pepe. Pepe is a legend. He has been working the neighborhood for years: rounding […]

LaGuera quickly became very important to me. For one thing, I could see that she wasn’t well. And for another, she was the most approachable of the three “wild” dogs. There was one dog, Mancha, who had been tamed, but we will get to his story in due time. Guera was skinny, had watery eyes […]
It all started in the fall of 2021 when John and I took a trip to Mexico together. At the end of our stay at one of the mega-resorts, we had a few days before our flight home so we ended up at an apartment complex near downtown Cancun. It was here I discovered the […]
I guess the story REALLY starts with my mom. She was on her deathbed (literally) and she suddenly sat up and said, “I need to write you girls a check!” My sister wrote out the checks and my mom signed them. Not a huge amount but I decided to use the money to do something […]
