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.

Our hearts are breaking as we had to say goodbye to a shelter favorite!
💔Our sweet, beautiful cherished and beloved Glulia received her wings (June 25th). 🪽
What saddens us the most is she never got the loving and safe home she deserved. She was never adopted and although we loved her very much, she lived her days & nights at our shelter. Always waiting for someone to just pick her!
Sadly, that day never came! 💔
She never got to experience her own bed, her own family, her own yard, toys or her very own soft blanket. 😭
Please make adoption your only option and please never over look senior or disabled pets they all deserve to experience life in a loving home.

Lo siento mucho 💔 Run free beautiful girl 🌈
You were her loving home! Maybe that's where she belonged, where everyone would love her and respect her, and I'm sure you guys were that kind of family. All hugs to you.

Please welcome LINDO
He was living in a carpentry.
He was peacefully sleeping when his dad slipped with the electric saw in his hand and saw cut the dog’s face in 2 😰.
He was somewhat very lucky: it didn’t touch the brain, didn’t touch the eye and because of heat of the saw it cauterized the flesh so he didn’t even bleed.
They rushed him to us.
He is such a sweet boy.

💔 A moment that speaks louder than words 💔
Patty, in the middle of her chemotherapy, reached out her paw to Dr. Rodrigo Salazar — a silent thank you, a plea for comfort, a sign of trust.
Beside her stood Sylvie, the heart and soul of SOS el Arca Animal Rescue, quietly carrying the weight of yet another life we refuse to give up on.
These are the moments that break us… and then rebuild us.
Because every time we see them fight, we know we must keep fighting too.
But we can’t do it alone.
🙏 Please, if you’re able, help us continue this fight — for Patty, and for all those still waiting for their second chance.
No donation is too small. Your support truly saves lives.
👉 Donate: www.soselarca.org/donate
👉 PayPal: info@soselarca.org
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. 🙏💙
