About ALMA Rescue 501c3

ALMA Rescue is a So. Cal 501c3 who rescues dogs from throughout Mexico and provides them with all of the veterinary care they need. We provide ALL vaccinations, de-worming, flea/tick prevention, micro-chipping & spay and neuter surgery. We operate two "rescue homes:" one in Baja and one in Tijuana and our rescued pups have full time caretakers to ensure they get the best of care. We also put on multiple large FREE Spay and Neuter Clinics 2-3 times per year in both areas to help with the serious and heartbreaking pet overpopulation problem there. To date, we have fixed over 2500 animals! ALMA was founded by childhood friends Erin Riley-Carrasco and Suzie Williamson. ALMA Rescue has a dedicated group of wonderful volunteers who help transport and foster all of our rescued dogs. We are passionate about helping to stop animal suffering and encourage everyone to save a life and ADOPT DON'T SHOP!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
