A Dog’s New Life Year End Update From Bucerias The ADNL Team
January 10, 2022

As last year drew to a close, we had a lot to reflect on at ADNL. We had seen many changes at the shelter, with dogs who have been on death's door traveling to another country to find their forever homes.

People were so kind after the robbery at the shelter, with some of the money we received we purchased an RV that enables us to have someone living on-site and able to make sure nothing happens to the dogs and to make sure the shelter is secure.

We had the addition of solar panels in November, thanks to an amazing group Sister Cities of Santa Barbara who worked so hard to fundraise the money for the system. We now have a fridge on-site to enable us to keep medications and vaccinations at the shelter. Fans to keep the air moving in the kennel building and lighting throughout the shelter. We will also be purchasing a washer to be able to clean the blankets and towels with funds also provided by Sister Cities.

If you'd like to donate to help us out, please go to our donate webpage.



Orejas is our dog of the year-end. We had many dogs that required chemotherapy this year for TVT Cancer. Orejas was one of the worse cases we have ever seen, from tumors in his eyes and all over his body, to his penis which was almost unrecognizable. He has completely recovered and is a great dog, happy and playful, and would make a family very happy. If you'd be interested in adopting Orejas, please go to the adopt page.

We are still extremely busy every day with vet trips and trying to keep all the dogs current with their medications, vaccinations, tick and flea meds, etc. If you are in the Bucerias area, and have a car and would like to volunteer to take dogs to the vet or to come out to the shelter and help us with the dogs, or just general cleaning WE NEED YOU! We have a volunteer application on the web or send an email to adogsnewlife.volunteers[at]gmail.com we would love to hear from you.

The dogs that are currently in protocols (vaccinations and sterilization), as well as those that are ready for adoption, are listed in our Adoptable Facebook Album.

We continue to keep you informed on our financial status this month, our huge list of amazing donors, rescues, and adoptions. 2021 was a year of ups and downs, but the tremendous support that we have received from our supporters has been absolutely extraordinary and we feel so blessed to have you with us on this crazy ride of rescue.

Going forward in 2022, it has become clear that there is not enough time to continue to do a monthly update, so we will go to a quarterly distribution keeping you on all things A Dog's New Life. We will, however, continue to post the monthly financials on our webpage.

Share with your friends if you think they might be interested in what we are accomplishing here in Bucerias, Mexico.
