SOS El Arca Animal Rescue:

Since 2011, Sos el Arca Animal Rescue, Playa del Carmen, rescues street dogs and cats who are hurt, diseased and hungry. They receive veterinarian care and sanctuary until we find loving homes. Impoverished communities of Playa benefit from our monthly Spay and Neuter Campaigns to reduce the street animal population.

Our new rescue needs your help! Winny was brought to our shelter after she was found lying on the highway, unable to move. Her X-ray show severe hip dysplasia with the left femur being shorter than the right.

Winny is also suffering from an abscess located on her left hip, but we couldn’t surgically clean it yet, as she has been too weak to be sedated. She hasn’t been eating at all, so we have been feeding her by syringe. We plan to do the surgery tomorrow.

Winny is malnourished, weak, and lethargic. We believe she must have been hit by a car and left on the side of highway.

Could you consider helping Winny? We need to raise funds for her surgical procedure, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory and pain medications.

We need 9000 pesos = $540🇺🇸 = $735 🇨🇦 to start her treatment.
She is only about 2 years old and we hope she has many more years to live🙏

As promised, we are sharing an update on our recent activities—13 furry residents left our shelter to go to their foster or adoptive homes within the last 2 weeks!

Shana, Molly, Kalimba, Billy, Ziggy, Pita, Liam, Kino, Adele, Jojo, Snoopy, Obi, and Kali are all in loving homes! 🎉🐾🐶

Every single dog was rescued from a rough life on the streets, a life of abuse, violence, hunger, and neglect. Each and every dog has received proper medical care, shelter, and food, and we’ve made every effort to erase all their negative memories and restore trust in people.

It’s a huge group effort to make this happen. Our sister rescues: All Paws Matter and SOS El Arca Belgium, have been working tirelessly to find fosters and adopters for our shelter dogs, to arrange all the necessary steps, from doing the paperwork to transporting (for hours!) dogs to/from the airports to their destinations.

Sylvie, the founder of SOS El Arca, makes sure that each dog is medically ready, which means the dog is fully vetted: vaccinated, dewormed, tested for heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, spayed/neutered, microchipped and on preventative flea/tick medicine.

She drives all the dogs to the airport and escorts them directly to the airline crew, where at last she lets them go. She cries at every goodbye! Then she cries again when she receives updates and photos of the dogs in loving homes (happy tears)!

We can’t stress enough how grateful we are for everyone who participated in these transitions. Thank you to our sister rescues, all of our supporters, donors, volunteers, and fosters for making our mission possible!

Thank you!🙏 ❤️

So many things have been going on lately that we haven’t had time to give you updates until now. Being short staffed while running an animal shelter that’s over capacity, including 34 puppies (yes, 34 puppies!) has kept us busy!

We’ve been running—literally—from the shelter to the airport as dogs have been leaving the shelter. More details on that to come!

Today’s update, though, is wonderful news about Shana, who we rescued in October of 2023 with serious head wounds. Her fur, skin and part of her bone were cut off as if she’d been scalped; she had cuts on her neck indicating violence; and she had a fractured knee requiring surgery. Shana was a victim of severe animal cruelty.

Since the moment she joined our shelter, Shana was loving, sweet, and grateful. Despite horrific abuse, her personality shone bright and her tail was always wagging!

Our team in Canada were so taken by Shana so she got her freedom flight. In record time—the next morning!—a family was so smitten by Shana that they decided to adopt her! Shana was adopted by Jayda, who has been volunteering, transporting, and fostering dogs for years! Shana is the third dog Jayda and her family have adopted from our shelter and she holds the record for the shortest foster-fail we have ever experienced!

Shana’s story, from the moment of her rescue to the moment she found her forever family, gives us energy and inspiration to rescue more dogs suffering every day on the streets.

Shana’s rescue and happy ending were possible thanks to YOU, our supporters, generous donors, volunteers, and our sister rescue APM. We believe we are all in it together, and, when we join our efforts, we can save many lives like Shana’s❤️🙏

Thank you, all!
