The Peanut Pet Shelter - Saving Animals in Mexico

The Peanut Pet Shelter is attempting to address the animal over-population problem in this very poor area, getting dogs and cats off the street where they are often ill, starving, abused, or injured. It provides endless love, not only for the animals themselves, but for those fortunate enough to adopt these sweetly affectionate and grateful creatures.

Through generous donations, the shelter has recently been able to expand its space beyond the small yard and house where it began. The shelter was able to rent an adjacent lot and is in the process of being cleared the land and building proper kennels for the animals. Still, 80 dogs and cats are a lot of mouths to feed and finding the money to do so is full-time, difficult work. It is our hope to establish and maintain a consistent stream of financial support for the shelter so that much more can be done for these loving animals and never will any animal have to be refused or turned away.

I've seen how tirelessly Andy and Jen work to provide for these animals and their effect on them is tremendous. The dogs become socialized and calm with other animals AND with people as volunteers show up each Saturday for Puppy Wash Day. They deserve all the help they can get with this enormous non-profit project that they have taken on.
