Rebeca's Animals

As I'm sure most of you already know, I love animals. My parent's have a friend in Zihua named Rebeca, who takes in animals that don't have anywhere else to go. Our part of Mexico doesn't have an SPCA like we do at home, so Rebeca cares for the animals with her own money.

As long as I've know her, Rebeca has been working with the Mexican government to get land for her to construct a proper facility to take care of these animals, currently they are all in Rebecca's home. The animals that she takes care of have all be domesticated or are otherwise unable to care for themselves in the wild. Rebeca works with the local schools to teach children about proper care and respect for animals, her dream is to have a facility where the children can come and interact and learn about the animals.

I hope that Rebeca will be able to realize her dream, she's quickly running out of room to care for all the animals that she's taken in.
