My story

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

***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico

Hi, I'm Raquel!

I'm part of the Money Heist Litter that was found in a dangerous area near a busy street with my seven siblings! Thankfully, a kind shop owner nearby had been feeding my brave Mama, Lisbon, keeping her going until help could arrive. When Surfer For Strays leaned about us they were already overwhelmed with a full shelter, so they visited us daily on the street, feeding our mom so she had enough nutrients for us, and keeping a close eye — but once they met us, and saw how much danger we were in they couldn't turn us away. They made room for us and brought us safely into the shelter in a newly arranged quarantine area, determined to find us the loving homes they know we deserve!

From the moment we arrived we have shown everyone just how special we are. Every day, we rush to the fence with wagging tails, eager to greet the volunteers with kisses and cuddles. We are sweet, outgoing, and playful — exactly what you’d expect from a lively pack of puppies — but we also have a relaxed and gentle side. Did I mention we love playing with the other dogs? We are sure to make friends with every dog we meet!

I'm also so smart! I'm learning important skills like leash walking, sitting politely, and patiently waiting for food. I'm told I'm incredibly well-mannered, not to mention I'm also doing really well with my crate training, setting me up for great success in my future home.

If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and all-around amazing new family member, then I'm the pup for you!

I can't wait to meet you!

Raquel

You can apply to foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt our pups. If a family isn't ready for the lifetime commitment of adoption, fostering is a shorter term commitment and helps save lives. If you are pretty sure about the dog you want, but would like a trial period, you should fill out the Adoption Application and select Foster-to-Adopt.

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.
