Before and now…
What's Happening now...
And in the middle of building a shelter, we are faced with never-ending puppies on the street and in the jungle. While we are OVERFULL with dogs and puppies, we cannot turn our backs. Check out these cuties that we rescued this past week:
What Oasis will mean for us...
Space to house a lot more dogs than in our current temporary space and even more than in Mundaca.
Spaying and neutering on site, bring our vets to do campaigns, and have stronger trap and release programs with proper areas for isolation. We can do these campaigns as often as we need to.
Areas to house the dogs according to their medical conditions and behavior.
Located in the midst of a much larger issue where stray dogs have absolutely no one to defend them.
Save tons of time and resources on transportation, logistics, and airport runs.
All of our supplies in one place, allowing us to act faster when emergencies arise, plus have the necessary space to deal with unexpected situations.
We will live on-site with the dogs, permitting us to better care for them.
Open and accessible for volunteers and visitors wanting to be part of or experience the rescue life in Mexico.
More outreach, keeping track of street dogs and trap and release programs.
But most importantly, we will OWN OUR SHELTER and no one or government can take it away from us again!
Isla Animals OASIS is not simply a relocation, it's more like a transformation. It's a massive step forward after being forced to take a few steps back, it's a standing reality of the love and passion we feel for the animals, and witness to how much we can improve the lives of dogs and cats in Mexico, where the situation is out of control.
Oasis is a future that we never dreamt of until we had to, and we then realized how much more we could be doing.
And everything is thanks to your trust, your kindness, and your love for the helpless animals.
Keep walking this road with us, we promise to make it worth it.
Our milestone goals are to have raised $10,000 each month by the 24th when PayPal Giving Fund sends us your donations. We were short for August, but we did make our goal in September! This will guarantee that the building process continues without stopping to re-focus on fundraising. Please help us reach our goals!
