CJ was rescued by our friend Keri just before Christmas. She found him limping, dirty and tired while out for a walk with her dog. We didn’t have room, so he went to boarding for about a month, and then she found a temporary foster for him. We brought CJ in to the rescue in early…

We think that little Boots was about 10 months old on intake. She was wandering on the street and probably had been dumped by someone. She wandered into Vet Pro, and of course big-hearted JP couldn’t turn her out. She is spayed, healthy, and as sweet as can be. Boots is short haired, has a…

Paca was found on New Year’s day by friend and volunteer Francesca Luissi while climbing the Pacaya volcano. Paca was born near the top of the volcano, and lived there with her mother and littermate. As the puppies grew, one by one they were taken by people. Paca fell down a deep crevice on the…

This adorable little gremlin is Biscuit. Our vet Dr. JP rescued her about 5 or 6 months ago, hairless with mange and in very, very bad condition. She is completely recovered and couldn’t be cuter if she tried. For some reason, he had not been able to find a home for her, so we agreed…

Mia is one of six puppies who were rescued along with their mother from Escuintla. The mother was very ill and could not swallow any food. Rescuer Francesca took her to her veterinarian and under sedation he found that she had a splintered chicken bone caught in her throat which prevented her from swallowing. Subsequently,…

We got Aggie through Blanca, the owner of the boarding kennel we use when we are full in the city of Chimaltenango. Blanca found little Aggie when she was about 2 months old, abandoned, and hairless due to mange and ringworm. Aggie was pretty close to death. Blanca and her husband Jehu, who is a…

We found Zsa Zsa tied to our gate early in the morning of Dec. 19th. She was likely left by a villager who hoped that we would take care of her. Zsa Zsa was a little frightened, but in very good condition aside from the usual worms and fleas. She is four months old and…

Billie Jean was brought to friend and foster mom Carin Steen by some local children on November 2, 2016. They told her that they had found the puppy wandering (wobbling was more accurate!) in the neighborhood. The puppy was very tiny, very young. We estimate that she was likely only 6 or 7 weeks old.…

Rosalina, and her sisters Blanca Estrella, Mapache and two other siblings were born in the market in Antigua. Their mother tried to keep them safe and fed, but by the time they were two weeks old, two of the pups had been taken by the indigent people living in the market and sold for pennies.…

Inka was found wandering in the streets of Antigua in pretty rough shape. She was thin, had recently given birth, and suffered from some skin conditions that caused her hair to fall out and her skin to turn leathery. Itchy and full of parasites, she wasn’t doing well on her own. Her rescuer left her with our vet…

Choco was found just about dark, huddled against a wall in a field between some homes in Jardines de Antigua by Jihae Park and the Berninger family who were fostering our puppy Snickers. The puppy was paralyzed with fear, and his rescuers were able to throw a towel over him and scoop him into Snicker’s…

Risa was brought to volunteer and foster mom Carin Steen by a neighbourhood boy who knows she loves animals. The puppy was dumped in a field by someone passing by on a bicycle. Risa was about 3 months old on intake, mid November. She is a pretty tan shorthaired pup with white markings and a…
