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.

Playa del Carmen—and our shelter—are in crisis.
In September alone, we welcomed 42 new intakes. 😭
Let that sink in: 42 delicate lives now depending on us for safety, medical care, food, and a second chance.
Our shelter is already bursting at the seams, with more than 400 animals relying on us every day.
Some were abandoned.
Some were neglected or abused.
Some were surrendered because their families could no longer care for them.
But every single one deserves compassion. Every single one deserves to know that their life matters.
You can be their hero. ❤️
Please consider making a much-needed donation today. Your support helps provide the care, safety, and hope these animals desperately need.
Together, we can give them the second chance they deserve.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP!

✨ Hope grows with every sterilization and every vaccine. ✨
We are eternally grateful to Cathy from Help Tulum Dogs, who sponsored vaccinations for the cats and dogs reached through our previous sterilization
campaign—not only covering their initial vaccines, but also their essential booster doses. 💛🐾
Thanks to her incredible support, we were able to provide:
🐱 Feline Triple vaccines: 200 initial doses + 85 boosters = 285 total vaccines
🐶 Dog Quintuple vaccines: 153 initial doses + 67 boosters = 220 total vaccines
We are so happy to see responsible pet owners bringing their animals to be sterilized—and taking the additional, lifesaving step of protecting them against deadly diseases through vaccination.
This is how change happens: one sterilization and one vaccine at a time.
Thank you again, Cathy and Help Tulum Dogs, for your trust, generosity, and continued support. Your commitment is helping create a healthier, safer, and more compassionate community for animals and the people who love them.
Together, we can make an even greater impact. 💛🐾

In August 2026, we were contacted about Isis after she was run over by a taxi. The impact left her with a badly broken leg and in desperate need of help.
Thanks to you—our wonderful supporters—we were able to rush Isis to the veterinarian and get her the urgent surgery she needed. Your generosity gave her more than medical care; it gave her a second chance.
Today, Isis is playing, smiling, and discovering what it means to live a happy, pain-free life.
She is becoming the joyful girl she was always meant to be—and that is because of you.
Thank you for helping us help the animals who need us most. Isis’s bright future exists because you chose to care. 💛🐾
Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can give more animals the chance to fight, heal, and find hope.

Sharing an update from our partner, SOS Animal Welfare, on our sweet rescue, Patch:
“Patch lives life to the fullest. ❤️
He is loved, adored, and most importantly, he belongs. He is part of a family.
But his start in life was very different.
Patch was rescued by our partner, SOS El Arca Animal Rescue, from a construction site where workers had been feeding a pack of more than 20 dogs. Knowing they needed help, the workers reached out to the rescue.
Patch’s pack — including his brother Yum and his mom — were frightened.
With time, patience, and the incredible care of the SOS El Arca team, they began to understand that they were safe. They learned to trust.
Then Erin opened her heart and gave Patch his chance. ❤️
She welcomed him into her family, and Patch, now Phoenix, fit right in. He had found what every rescue dog deserves — a place where he was safe, cherished, and truly home.
We are so grateful to the incredible SOS El Arca team for their tireless work, to Erin for trusting us with this journey and opening her home to Phoenix, and to every one of our supporters who makes stories like his possible.
He’s living. He’s loved. He belongs. ❤️
And that is everything we hope for when we rescue.”
