My story

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

***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico***



Hello humans!
I am Reese and together with my sister April we are the Easter Litter. Our mom, Lacey, gave birth to us near a construction site. This could have been a sad entrance to the world, but we were cared for sporadically by tourists and the construction workers. We couldn’t believe all these people cared enough about us to go out of their way  This foundational experience gave us an early trust in humans and all the good they can do  Momma and the community members took great care of us, and we are as healthy as can be!

Some of our siblings were adopted out locally until it was just us two and momma. One day, more nice humans came and packed us up, and we drove away from the construction site forever. We’ve been tearing it up at the Surfers For Strays shelter ever since!

We are very happy and outgoing pups with wide open hearts. We spend our days meeting new friends (human and canine), playing until we collapse, sunbathing to our hearts’ content, enjoying consistent meals, and eating every extra scrap we can get our paws on (we are growing pups after all!). We are so well cared for at the shelter, but lately we have felt a pang of longing for humans of our own to devote all our love and attention to. So what are you waiting for?
Apply to adopt me now :D 
Your Reese

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.
