For the past 20 years my wife and I have been caring for stray dogs in a small town on the West coast of the Yucatán peninsula. We've been largely self-funded, but with food and veterinary costs climbing and remote employment disappearing, we're unable to make ends meet. We need to raise at least $6500 US (120,000 pesos) to fund a few months of food and medicine.

Currently we care for more than 40 dogs and 2 cats in-house (all sterilized and vaccinated), as well as feed numerous strays. They eat 150-200 kilos of dry food per week, at a cost of around 20,000 pesos per month. A few require daily medication, and they all need routine parasite preventatives.

We made the difficult decision to stop accepting new dogs ...until the eve of tropical storm Beryl, when Nell had a litter on our doorstep. Four of the 8 puppies have been adopted, and we've managed to get the mother and four remaining pups spayed.

Savings are depleted and morale is low. Every day is a struggle to keep them fed, we appreciate any donation you can spare. Thank you for helping us help them.

We are online at BlueSky, MetaPixl and Blogger.
