Los Cabos Humane Society

We have been active for almost 30 years in the beautiful municipality of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The Los Cabos Humane Society was founded in 1992 with the goal of preventing animal overpopulation. The first president, Mrs. Janet Ascencio, was tasked with the founding of the association. Dr. Tapía MVZ also played a key role in its development. The Ceseña family recognized the excellent work of the organization’s founders and donated the land for the Los Cabos Humane Society. This is where our facility is still located today, after nearly 30 years and many challenges. The LCHS constantly promotes animal welfare, but its situation is unique in the country. The Los Cabos municipality has grown from 50,000 inhabitants in 1992, to the 320,000+ inhabitants today. Although it is one of the most prosperous municipalities in the country, there is no municipal agency for animal control. The main activities of the Los Cabos Humane Society are: Rescuing, caring for and finding forever homes for abandoned and neglected animals Spay and neutering pets to improve their quality of life and avoid animal overpopulation Educating the community on the best ways to care for animals We are a not-for-profit civil organization and our existence depends entirely upon the contributions of all those interested in improving the quality of life for the animals and the human spirit of Los Cabos. You can help by: Making any financial donation Making a donation of items you no longer use and that still have a useful life to Little Paws, our thrift store. Taking the shelter dogs for walks Sharing photos and videos that you take at the shelter on social media Volunteering your time and talents for fundraising events Let’s continue working to have a more humane and beautiful city.
