My story

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

✨🐾 Meet Mimi — 2 Years Old & Finally Safe 🐾✨

When Mimi was found, she wasn’t even recognizable as a dog… just a matted, tangled little ball on the floor, her fur heavy with dirt and neglect.
Her eyes said everything: fear, exhaustion, abandonment. 💔

No animal should ever reach this point…
And yet Mimi stayed quiet, still, and somehow hopeful — waiting for someone, anyone, to finally see her.

Then a young boy walked up to her with the gentleness only a child carries and whispered:
“Your suffering is over.”
He lovingly helped her into the car, excited to give her the first moment of safety she’s felt in a long time.
🌟 Sometimes children see what adults overlook — a heart still willing to trust. 🌟

Today, Mimi is safe, clean, and slowly learning that not all humans hurt.
She’s calm, polite, timid, and taking small brave steps toward believing in love again. 💛

Now she needs a soft place to land.
A home that understands healing takes time.
A heart patient enough to show her the world isn’t scary anymore. 🏡💕

💛 MIMI is available through Paws_Without_Borders.

More about this shelter

Hello! Thanks for checking us out. We are a 501-c3 non profit rescue and rehab service in Tucson, AZ

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs from the streets of Mexico in cooperation with other animal rescue organizations in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Our shelter in Hermosillo, Sonora, Vidas Con Causa, currently has over 150 dogs. There, we provide medical care and a loving place for them to heal before coming to the US, then we foster and work on finding the perfect fit for adoption. You can also visit the available dogs at the rescue in Mexico. Our rescue partners spend a lot of time getting to know the dogs and we know MOST of their
perks and quirks!

We help special needs dogs, the amputees, the pregnant Pitties, the MexiMutts, those from small independent shelters who don't get much notice, the cancer patients. We provide round-the-clock care until these dogs are ready for rehoming.
