Hello all from the Peanut Pet Shelter in Playa del Carmen 2/09 |
|
|
Manyof you know us as the volunteer animal rescue located in the Ejido
and founded by/operated by Andy and Jen, expats from England.
![]() On Saturday, the 24th, we had a great crew helping to clear vegetation and rubbish. Beer and food was provided which was a nice plus. ![]() Funny things happen when one attempts to eat in the midst of 75 dogs. ![]() You become VERY popular! ![]() This week we received 27 tons of calica (gravel/sand mix) to spread on the grounds. We’ve had serious tick issues and we hope that spreading a thick coat of this material will aid in the tick problem. We will have another work party to help spread this 27 tons. Hopefully, this will be done by the time you read this. ![]() The dogs are loving these piles ![]() Our next step is to build the gates for the 27 kennels. We are attempting to source the construction of these gates, but, in the end we will probably build them ourselves. It’s cheaper and right now it’s all about the money we can save. What do we need? Our biggest expense is bringing these pups back to health. Since we are working strictly on donations, it is sometimes difficult to meet their needs. Andy recently posted his most pressing needs. Heartworm and other internal parasites are a huge (and expensive to treat) problem here. We have a nasty little thing called Coccidias which tends to attack puppies and young dogs mostly and the meds for this are incredibly expensive. Another item on our wish list is something to sterilize equipment. We have had offers from vacationing vets to do small ops (spay, nueter etc) but we can not do this without sterile equipment. Also blades and anesthesia would be huge for us. I realise that this is aimed more at locals as muling stuff like this would be next to impossible. If anyone knows of a vet anywhere in the area who may have closed or has surplus materials we could get from them that would be fantastic.” Beginning this month we will be highlighting our dog of the month. This month we have a new resident, a three legged wonder with the sweetest spirit. Notice the bit of Shar-pei in him? ![]() Peanut Pet Shelter Dog Of The Month: Max ![]() And I can’t let this opportunity pass without showing off my little wonder…Lenny, my pup from the Peanut Pet Shelter. Adoption Needed

As one of Mexico's newly coveted hot-spots, the Riviera Maya has seen an explosion in the development of luxury resorts in the past decade. And they're no longer centered solely in Cancun. Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, in particular, are new favorites among TIMESHARE and hotel developers alike.
