Puppies in Mexico

On January 4th, I headed down to Mexico with two friends to visit my parents who live in a small fishing village outside of Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa (www.casa-puesta-del-sol.com). My family has been visiting the same area in Mexico for the last 23 years and for the last 10 years my parents have called it home for part of the year.

My parents love animals and growing up we've always had pets. Since they started going to Mexico regularly my parents have adopted two dog and cared for quite a few more. There are many dogs in their area that need good homes, if anyone is ever interested in adopting a dog from Mexico please let me know. I'd be happy to provide you with the necessary information, it's surprisingly easy to bring a dog home with you.

Here are some photos of the dogs on our beach:

This is Terra, my parents' dog.

This is Osito, my parents' other dog. When they adopted him off the beach, he was in such bad shape that no one would touch him. We were shocked when he turned out to be such a cute puppy.

This beautiful dog belongs to neighbors down the beach.

According to my mom, this little guy is next in line for adoption.

This is Kiwi, he's always around, usually in front of my parents' house. He's an excellent guard dog and everyone loves him. While I was visiting, he fell into a well on the neighbors property, luckily someone heard him crying and got him out. He hurt his hind legs and will likely be going in to see the vet if he isn't healed up soon.

This guy was so sweet, all he wanted was some attention and if you pet him, he became your best friend. He really needs a good home.

I took this picture last year when I was in Mexico. This little guy was so cute and I managed to track him down when I was visiting this time. He's all grown up now (below) and his name is Mexico. I was really happy to see that he's well taken care of.
