We’re Back …

… and we can’t wait to see you!

It’s been a long hot summer for the dogs at Animalandia and they haven’t had a lot of visitors. During that time, some new dogs arrived and a few were adopted to loving homes.

The good news is that Animalandia is ready to begin a brand new season of Saturday / Sunday public openings. All your favourite dogs and a few fresh faces are ready to greet you every Saturday and Sunday morning from 9:00am to 11:00am. If you love dogs, you could not find a better way to spend a couple hours on a weekend. Your visit helps to reinforce the dogs social skills and enriches their lives. And, it’s scientifically proven to be good for you too!

Of course, most of our dogs are ready for adoption so if you have room in your home and in your heart for a new faithful best friend, why not drop by this week for a meet and greet.

So, starting Saturday October 31 and Sunday November 1, why not plan a visit to Animalandia. Plenty of friendly faces would love to meet you!

Hi! I’m Paloma. I’m pretty new here at Animalandia so I’m still getting used to my new surroundings and my new friends. Word is that Saturday and Sunday mornings are a pretty special time that everyone looks forward to. I can’t wait to find out what it’s all about!!

… and while you’re here

Once again this year we are selling raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two amazing and beautiful quilts. Each one has been hand-crafted by Animalandia volunteer Sue Frank.

Tickets are $200 pesos or $10 USD for one ticket and $400 pesos or $20 USD for three tickets; clearly that’s the way to go! You can get your tickets at Animalandia on weekend public openings or watch for us at various places and events around town and Loreto Bay.

Your ticket purchase helps to raise money for food, veterinary care, medications, travel expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.

Hola a todos!

A new season of high activity at Animalandia is just around the corner as a lot of folks gradually return to beautiful Loreto for the season. Here at Animalandia the dogs are really looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces as we return to Saturday and Sunday morning open houses starting in November. We’re also looking forward to hosting and or playing a role in vitally important spay and neuter clinics throughout the season. And, of course, we’ll be working hard to find homes for some deserving dogs. We’ll be raffling two beatiful hand made quilts again this year so keep an eye on this space for more information that will be coming soon.

See you soon! Woof!

Animalandia Crew Trivia Night

Animalandia Loreto Posted on by

On Wednesday December 18 the Animalandia crew were at the Giggling Dolphin restaurant and bar in Loreto for trivia night. We were there to spread the word about Animalandia and it’s mission to reduce the number of unwanted and stray animals on our streets and to raise a bit of money to help with food, veterinary and other expenses.

We also entered a trivia team and while we managed a top one third performance during the regular rounds, we blew it in the final all or nothing round.

Many tanks go to the Giggling Dolphin restaurant and bar in Loreto for host hosting the trivia night and for helping Animalandia advance it’s mission. We had a lot of fun and it was a successful evening all around.

Successful Spay and Neuter Clinic

Animalandia Loreto was proud to host a spay and neuter clinic recently at which 100 dogs and cats were sterilized absolutely free of charge to the citizens of Loreto. We are thankful for the selfless efforts of vet Christina Sisk, and vet techs Cristina Pena, Samantha Velazquez and Gaby Goldberg. Thanks also go to Deb Stuart and Lucy Gonzalez for organizing the clinic and the many volunteers who helped out in so many ways over the course of the four day clinic.

Cruise Ships Visit Loreto!

Animalandia Loreto Posted on by

On Tuesday and Wednesday, October 28 and 29, two different cruise ships stopped in Loreto, and Animalandia along with #BajaMixLTO were there to greet them. We brought along a few of our cutest puppies to give visiting passengers who were missing their dogs at home a good puppyfix. While they snuggled, we provided some information about our respective organizations and our ongoing mission to improve the lives of Loreto’s animal population. Thanks to the many passengers who kindly donated money, every dollar / peso of which goes to benefit the dogs in our care and to further our work.
