Dog For Life is a very small non-profit rescue group who work and live in Puerto Vallarta and Victoria. Dog For Life differs from other, larger rescue groups in that we personally work with each dog in Mexico and are part of their entire journey from the shelter in Puerto Vallarta to their “furever” homes. We take great care in ensuring they are well and placed in the best possible homes. Last yea

A message from one of our adopters

Last night we picked up our new rescue from Mexico, Betty named after my Mom. She’s a darling pup who I truly believe Chippy picked out for us to help us heal our broken hearts after losing him. Thank you Chippy, we love you forever my boy. ❤️🙏🐾🐶

It’s such a personal thing when you lose your dog, your heart is broken and like me, a lot of people say never again, the heartbreak is too much. Then Mindy/Betty showed up. I have to give a huge thank you to Debra Barsalou of Dog For Life and Teca Pet Animal Refugio who listened to all my craziness and helped me through the process. I also want to acknowledge all the people who took these three pups in, found in a bag, loved them, rehabilitated them, and showed them so much love and care. Cinthya, Michelle Soleil Wild, Michele Jarvis-Wonnacott, and all the volunteers who help out at Teca. Also a massive thank you to flight angel, Wende and husband who changed three families lives by bringing this family of pups home with them. Such a gift to give. ❤️🙏

Betty is adorable, she is incredibly sweet and I know my Mom would approve 100%, the biggest animal lover I ever knew and raised us all to love animals. Growing up, we didn’t have a lot, she was a single Mom with four kids but we always had pets…lots of pets. Dogs, cats, birds, a baby chicken, and even a Pacific tree toad named Bubbles. Many times they would just show up and move in, but a place was always made for them. I don’t know how she made it work but she did. Thanks Mom, for sharing your name with this adorable little girl. ❤️🙏

Finally, I know long post, are you still here, lol? I want to thank every last one of you that reached out and supported me through this grief over Chip, I will never ever forget you. You will always be cherished in my heart. ❤️🙏🙌

Okay, here’s a few pictures, she has kept us busy today, lol. More to follow. ❤️
