Save A Mexican Mutt ABQ

Save A Mexican Mutt, or SAMM, was started in 2003 by Kelly and Jim Karger after they witnessed the needless suffering of homeless and neglected dogs on the streets of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Then they found out that dogs and cats are euthanized by electrocution and drowning in nearly all parts of Mexico. In 2005, Mary and Steve Dolch joined SAMM to help save even more dogs. They have been an invaluable asset to the mission of SAMM by helping to foster and transport and by networking for even more adoptions. SAMM dogs are all "highly adoptable." Which means they are, for the most part, small and/or purebreed dogs. These dogs are transported to areas where there is high demand. This is done in an effort to discourage those who cannot find these types of dogs at their local pounds and humane societies from going to "breeders" and "puppy mills." Save A Mexican Mutt, or SAMM, was started in 2003 by Kelly and Jim Karger after they witnessed the needless suffering of homeless and neglected dogs on the streets of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Then they became aware that dogs and cats are euthanized by electrocution, drowning, poisoning, or shot in nearly all parts of Mexico. In 2005, Mary and Steve Dolch of Albuquerque, New Mexico, joined SAMM to help save even more dogs. They have been an invaluable asset to the mission of SAMM by helping to foster and transport and by networking for even more adoptions. SAMM dogs are "highly adoptable" dogs (excellent temperament, compact size and/or desirable breed, etc). These dogs are transported to areas where there is high demand. This is done in an effort to discourage people who cannot find these types of dogs at their local pounds and humane societies from going to "breeders" and "puppy mills." Since its inception, more than 200 dogs have been transported to their forever homes in the United States. We work in conjunction with highly qualified and ethical "no-kill" rescue and adoption organizations in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado as well as individual adoptions. Prior to transport, all dogs are spayed or neutered, temperament tested, are current on their vaccinations, and arrive with a health certificate dated within three days of crossing the U.S. border. SAMM has just received approval from the IRS as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donations are U.S. tax deductible and necessary to expand our efforts to help more dogs find their forever homes. To make a donation contact Kelly. And, SAMM is always grateful for volunteers willing to provide transportation to the United States for adoptable dogs and puppies. If you are in San Miguel and plan to drive or fly (via American Airlines) to the U.S.A. and you would be interested in facilitating transportation (a portion of which may be tax deductible), please contact Kelly Karger at the email address shown below. Muchas gracias!
