If you are looking for a dog, please call between 11am and 4pm for directions or an appointment to visit our shelter in El Centenario: 044 612 155 8948.

Some of our dogs have homes waiting for them in Canada and the U.S. but we need people to accompany them on the airplane. If you are going north and would like to help, please ask us how!

As we use our donations for medicine, food and shelter, we have recently introduced adoption fees. This fee is waived for members, Padrinos, volunteers, workers and contributors. All dogs adopted out through Baja Dogs La Paz, A.C. are up to date on their vaccinations. Dogs over 6 months of age are all spayed or neutered.

	Pumba was found outside Maggie's office at the university.  Obviously he had just been dumped because he looked confused and followed the kids around. Nobody wanted him and kept chasing him away. He had only 3 options, either die under the wheels of a bus, get killed by the largest dogs there or starve to death.  He looks so healthy and he is so sweet. He's part dachshund (wiener dog), short-legged and will remain small.  He's a few month old.
	Yuki is a 3 month old healthy, friendly female puppy found on the highway with Lyla who was probably her mom. (Lyla was found skin over bones, with many cuts and sores and a wire tied tightly around her neck. Unfortunately she did not survive her injuries.) When we put Lyla in the truck this dear little black pup jumped in. If you are looking for a cute pup come out and see this little one!
	Katy is a small chow looking dog. She had 5 puppies in an empty lot on one of the busiest streets of La Paz. Unfortunately, 4 of her puppies had been killed by cars on the street and we only managed to save Kiki. She's very sweet and quiet, and while she's still a little nervous, enjoys sitting in your lap.
	Kiki is a three month old puppy that was born in the street. He's a very quiet and timid puppy, and that's probably what kept him alive. He was the only one to survive from a litter of 5, the rest died in the street. We had a hard time catching him as he hid under a car in a mechanic shop. When we finally got him, he was terrified and wouldn't move. He had a funny motor oil mark on his forehead. He'll be a healthy, fun and smart puppy once he gets used to people and being cared for.
	Megan just had a gorgeous litter of pups so can't be adopted for a month (approx. Feb 22). She is about 1 and a half years old and a healthy, medium sized dog. She lived on the streets of El Comitan and fared well until she had her babies, when travelling around searching for food became more difficult for her. She is now happily ensconced at the refugio where she is waited on hand and foot ...er, paw!
	Unitas is already a favorite as she looks like our much loved  Bebe who now resides in Campbell River BC. This little one is gentle and quiet. We feel she will be a small / medium dog. She will be ready to go in about 2 weeks (approx. Feb 7)
	Banana is a medium size young adult. She was found outside tec's gate. She was standing by her owner's house for 2 weeks unaware the family had moved out and left her behind. She lost a lot of weight but is now gaining it back. She'll be a great family pet. She used to live with a chihuahua, so she must be good with pets and children. She has a quiet and calm personality.
	Sammy (a.k.a. Bart) was found starving at a local gas station. He had been trying to scrounge for food when a big dog came along and took the food  away. This may explain the badly infected gashes to the poor little guy's head. He is in the refugio and healing nicely. He has a sweet personality and will be a gorgeous looking fellow in a month or so. He is small/medium and has a wiry coat.
	Mike is a medium-large sized dark brown and tan, smooth coated lab cross. Possibly a lost dog as he has a very nice nature and is very friendly to other dogs and people. Male, approximately 2 years old.  He's an energetic boy who will need lots of exercise.
	Tango was found with Frosty, after being dumped in Comitan. Tango (male) is about 4 months old.
	Tyson is a favorite of many of the volunteers at the refuge. He came in in a weakened state and still isn't strong. He needs lots of good food and vitamins before he can be adopted.  He is a little timid and we would love for some volunteers to come in and hold him, talk to him, just plain old "show him some love".
	We have lots of pups to choose from. It is hard to tell what breed these may be or if they will be big or small. Pictured are Fala, Fila and Nana. After a few weeks with us and getting some good chow they will be ready to go to loving homes.
	Mixie is a lovely gal and one heck of a strong dog! This lab cross will make a great watchdog and pet but she will need a yard to play in. A real beauty, she is almost certainly a lost pet. Clean, friendly, confident, and fun. She’s also an amazing jumper – Frisbee, anyone?
	Tarzan is a large young adult male dog who still needs some TLC and a few more good meals. He is friendly and quiet, walks well on a leash, and loves people. He was brought to us with Athena.
	Athena is a medium sized girl, possibly with lab in her.  She is skin and bones and will be spayed as soon as she puts on some weight. She is very sweet and gentle and quite timid. She and Tarzan were going to be killed because they were digging holes in a resort golf course.
	Rod is a feisty little guy with roti in him.  He is about 10 weeks old and will make a good pet for the right person.  As you can see from the picture, he is a playful rascal who is searching for the perfect home.

	Guero has been around the block a few times, bless his heart! Medium size, male, short hair (now that it has grown back - he arrived without any), light cream color, which is how we arrived at his name. Battered and scarred ears and face, this guy has had a tough time out there. But he's very friendly. Hopefully someone will make his life better from now on!
	Lulu is a 5 month old pup, lovely copper brown color, with a sweet disposition.  She had some mange and was dehydrated and malnourished when found wandering in El Centenario. She will probably remain a small to medium sized dog - very cute.
	Bolly is a tough little street dog. She and her little brother were brought to the refuge by a kind stranger as tiny, unweened pups. Someone had thrown them in the street in front of his house. At only a couple of weeks old, without their mother, they would not have survived long.  Luckily we had a nursing dog at the refuge - our dear Torombola was feeding her own pups, and she also took on these two tiny orphans. Sadly, the male pup was not strong enough to overcome his first two terrible weeks, but Bolly started suckling right away, taking that chance at life. She's now a strong, healthy little 5 month old.

	Muneca is a big friendly girl, approximately 2-1/2 years old.  Please contact Penny directly for more information about adopting Muneca.
	Patty is a spunky dog who was found with her sister. She is full of energy and very happy. She has had all of her shots and will be a very good watchdog.
	Angela is a beautiful medium size female, about 2 years old. She is very quiet and would be a great pet. Angela came to us after a group of people in her neighborhood tried to kill her with sticks and knives. Unfortunately, many of our dogs have been in similar situations, if not worse.
	Henry was dumped over the fence with his brothers when they were very young pups.  A Doberman cross, Henry will be a medium sized dog . He is very playful and likes to be around people.
	Kiwi is a beautiful dog with a long sad history. His mom Bella passed away from abuse. When Bella and her pups arrived at the refuge, we promised her that we would find loving homes for all her babes and we thought we had. The man who adopted Kiwi gave him away which is against our rules. Kiwi was severely abused in this second home. He will need a loving patient family or woman to help him continue to build trust.
