Baja Rescue of Baja California Sur
MEXICO. The name conjures up
inviting images of tropical beaches,
warm ocean waves and romantic
mariachi-filled evenings under the
stars. Indeed, that's what many
Americans know and love about
the country - its' beautiful and
relaxing vacation experiences.
However, there is another side to this place, a side rarely seen
outside the manicured grounds of a luxury hotel. Drive down any
dusty road and you are likely to see numerous mangy animals,
starving dogs roaming in packs, disease ridden cats scrounging
for food and starving horses tied by a mere foot or two of rope
to a barren tree without the relief of shade or water. In a country
where many people are themselves struggling to make ends
meet, animals are at worst starved or
beaten, and, at best, simply forgotten.
The shelter has developed an active
adoption program, allowing visitors
and locals the chance to adopt an
animal while providing assistance
with education, food and vet care
to guard against future abuse and
neglect. The number of homeless and suffering animals seems
almost overwhelming. If you cannot find it possible to adopt us as
a pet cause, any assistance will be greatly appreciated - and all
donations go directly to the animals' care with none being spent
on the management or promotion of El Refugio or Kitty Heaven.
