Alberto is 1.5 years old and 45 lbs. We rescued him from a local shelter that we work with in Cancun, Mexico and he looks to be a mix of a Bull Terrier and Lab, which are all very common breeds in the area he comes from.  He is a mellow guy that loves time on the couch, but also does well on runs with his foster home. He also loves tummy rubs and to be wrapped up in a blanket next to you.  He's a very handsome pup with an easygoing personality, but does well with a strong leader to show him the ropes.Alberto does best with dogs his size, but is too excited about cats to share a home with one. He would do well as a only dog or with a female dog. He is a quick learner and is currently learning his basic commands, like sit, watch me, back, and is starting training classes.

Ginger is an adorable Dachshund/Terrier mix. She has long Terrier legs, but a Dachshund face. Ginger is about 10 months old, and weighs about 15 lbs and is full grown. She is mellow and sweet and loves to cuddle with her people. She gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes, and would make a great family dog.

Paula is a special dog and needs a special home. She is fearful of new people so she needs to be in a home with someone who is both dog savvy and a strong leader, so that she feels safe and secure in her environment. Paula is currently in one-on-one training with a professional dog trainer and is making great progress. She will need to continue with training in her foster or adoptive home. We are also able to help with training during the adjustment period when Paula is in a new home.

Paula does very well with other playful dogs and is fine with cats.. Paula is also housebroken and crate trained. She is about a year and a half old, and about 33 lbs, and is a mixed breed. We think she is a Whippet/Lab mix, but because she is from Isla Mujeres, Mexico we can only guess according to the breeds found on the island. She loves attention and to cuddle with her people, once she knows them and is comfortable. She loves having a big comfy dog bed and dog bones to enjoy, and a fence to run around in. Paula is a sensitive and shy dog, and needs time to get used to new people and new environments as mentioned above. Because she is shy we feel that it is best that she be in a home without children.If you feel you have the dog experience needed to care for this special girl pleas apply to either foster or adopt on our site.

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, given de-wormer and a fecal test, Heartworm tested, Frontlined, and given HeartGuard monthly before adopted out.
