Meet KIKI / Female        



Approx. DOB:  12 / 06 / 2023



Hi everyone 
My name is Kiki, aka kick a$$ Kiki since my name actually means "double the joy"!

I was found in Troncones wandering the streets all alone. I have known what a loving home is and what it meant to be cared for and fed well before I found myself turned out on the streets. I don't know how I ended up there, but I cannot believe that someone would have abandoned me! 

After wandering around in a strange town on my own, I found a house that looked friendly with a very nice couple living in it and I decided to stick around there as it seemed to be the safest choice. It turns out I was right and they were a very nice couple! They took me off the streets to keep me safe while figuring out a plan for my future.  This couple reached out to SFS for help in finding me a good solution. They thought that maybe I had just gotten lost so they first tried to find my owner which should have been easy in a small village, but nobody claimed me and it was determined that I had been abandoned... Still, I don't understand how that was possible!  They said sometimes it happens that people drop their dogs off in the village of Troncones when they can no longer care for them as there are more people and tourists here who might be able to take care of a doggo like me.

I am a very sweet, loving, and social dog and I can't wait to be in a home that will keep me forever!!  All the fun, we will have! I promise you I will try my very best to be the perfect pupper to you (I am already practicing at the shelter!) And I can loyally bring twice as much joy as you can imagine! 

Your Kiki

More about this rescue

Surfers for Strays was started in January of 2017 by Isabel Velasco and Natalie Ritenour when they rescued 7 puppies and their mother, who had been abandoned at a local hot springs in Lagunillas, Guerrero, Mexico. The puppies were being eaten alive by parasites and their mother was severely malnourished.

Working together the women devised a plan to house and care for the animals and raise funds and more importantly, raise awareness to sterilize pets. They gained enough support in the local community to start helping “callajeros”, street animals in the villages of Troncones, Los Llanos, La Saladita and surrounding regions.

With the help of local veterinarians and citizens, they organized spay and neuter clinics and a program to educate children on how to treat and care for animals. Surfers and other travelers began volunteering and growing the network to foster and adopt animals in the US and Canada. With that momentum and the love and support of key volunteers, Surfers for Strays Inc. was founded in August of 2019 to cover more ground and help more animals escape the cycle of neglect, abuse and abandonment. From 2020-2021, Surfers for Strays adopted out more than 250 dogs and cats to fur-ever homes in North America and paid for more than 3,150 dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered in local communities in Mexico.

Your donations support our programs to sterilize, rehabilitate, find fosters and adopters for animals in need. Your donations also support education programs for the humane treatment of animals in underserved communities. Together we are saving animals and sharing the Mucho Aloha spirit.
