My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Taro! Taro is a very sweet black lab mix who was rescued with a huge gash on his face which our team hypothesized may have been from a firecracker. After months of bandaging and healing, Taro is a healthy pup and his wound has healed so beautifully! This sweet boy is so happy to be alive and really gives off that energy. He will wag your tail and give a big smile when you meet him.

More about this shelter

Two women, one American, and one Mexican met in Sayulita through their mutual concern for the many sick, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs and cats in the area.

They began working together informally to rescue, rehabilitate, and find homes for these animals. Their efforts eventually led to the formation of Wet Noses Rescue, which has grown from a small backyard operation to an expanding nonprofit housed on a property with dedicated facilities in Punta de Mita. Providing the animals with health care, rehabilitation, socialization, and careful evaluation which is needed for a successful adoption to new homes in the United States and Canada.

Wet Noses Rescue also provides Spay/Neuter clinics in the local community to reduce overpopulation and vaccinations to reduce the prevalence of serious diseases such as Parvo and Distemper.
