Dog For Life

Dog For Life Dog For Life Original rescues and finds homes in Canada for dogs from Puerto Vallarta .

Dog For Life is a very small non-profit rescue group who work and live in Puerto Vallarta and Victoria. Dog For Life differs from other, larger rescue groups in that we personally work with each dog in Mexico and are part of their entire journey from the shelter in Puerto Vallarta to their “furever” homes. We take great care in ensuring they are well and placed in the best possible homes. Last yea

r March 2020 when pandemic was hitting we started a feeding program to help the strays and also help feed to dogs whoes families could not even feed themselves let alone their dogs . Volunteers went into communities weekly supplying dog food for 7 months. Currently we are still filling feeding tubes daily to continue one year later to help feeding the dogs ..

Our family has been touched by this very same process and under very similar conditions. Through our grief, the universe answered our prayers and led us to this wonderful rescue where we found our little bundle of joy💖🐾💖. She was the merriest little dog in all those videos and that’s how we arrived at her name! She has saved us🙏🏻. With the deepest gratitude to Debra Barsalou Michelle Soleil Wild Cinthya Paz Michele Jarvis-Wonnacott Dog For Life Refugio Teca Animals🙏🏻💖🐾

A message from one of our adopters

Last night we picked up our new rescue from Mexico, Betty named after my Mom. She’s a darling pup who I truly believe Chippy picked out for us to help us heal our broken hearts after losing him. Thank you Chippy, we love you forever my boy. ❤️🙏🐾🐶

It’s such a personal thing when you lose your dog, your heart is broken and like me, a lot of people say never again, the heartbreak is too much. Then Mindy/Betty showed up. I have to give a huge thank you to Debra Barsalou of Dog For Life and Teca Pet Animal Refugio who listened to all my craziness and helped me through the process. I also want to acknowledge all the people who took these three pups in, found in a bag, loved them, rehabilitated them, and showed them so much love and care. Cinthya, Michelle Soleil Wild, Michele Jarvis-Wonnacott, and all the volunteers who help out at Teca. Also a massive thank you to flight angel, Wende and husband who changed three families lives by bringing this family of pups home with them. Such a gift to give. ❤️🙏

Betty is adorable, she is incredibly sweet and I know my Mom would approve 100%, the biggest animal lover I ever knew and raised us all to love animals. Growing up, we didn’t have a lot, she was a single Mom with four kids but we always had pets…lots of pets. Dogs, cats, birds, a baby chicken, and even a Pacific tree toad named Bubbles. Many times they would just show up and move in, but a place was always made for them. I don’t know how she made it work but she did. Thanks Mom, for sharing your name with this adorable little girl. ❤️🙏

Finally, I know long post, are you still here, lol? I want to thank every last one of you that reached out and supported me through this grief over Chip, I will never ever forget you. You will always be cherished in my heart. ❤️🙏🙌

Okay, here’s a few pictures, she has kept us busy today, lol. More to follow. ❤️
