Puppies in Playa del Carmen
Who loves Mexican doggies more than Expats? (H/T to Cristina in Livtopia Customer Service). Heather at HeatherinParadise took it a step further with an online campaign to raise money for the lost and stranded in Mexico’s Playa del Carmen.
I can’t say enough about the impact Andy and Jen [of Peanut Pet Shelter] are making in Playa del Carmen. Their no-kill shelter is the first of its kind here. In the one year of the shelter’s existence, Andy and Jen have managed to rescue, heal, and rehome hundreds of stray dogs and cats who would have otherwise lived out their sad, bleak, and short lives with no one to love or care for them. One thing that I will never get used to, living here, is the stray animal situation.
Why get used to it? LWOB salutes Heather’s efforts to raise money for the shelter and all the thoughtful posts, pictures and information about the animals and the situation on the ground in Playa del Carmen. The photo above is from the slideshow of all the dogs being helped at the shelter.
In just a few days they’ve topped US$1000 for the dogs, and we’d like to see donations go over US$2000. Each of the entries here has a link to the paypal account where you can donate $10 or $20 to help them out too. And here’s the post that started the ball rolling.
Feeling indifferent? - just watch the slideshow!
