My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico***

Hi! I’m Brownie! And if you’re looking for a sweet spot in your life, I’m your girl. Like a lot of the dogs in Mexico, I was roaming the streets for the first seven months of my life, looking for food and love and somewhere warm to call my own. I was lucky enough to not have had any puppies of my own during that time, because taking care of myself was more than enough! When I was picked up by the rescue, there was some hope that I was finally on my way to brighter days.

My friends here say that I’m a sweet girl with lots and lots of energy. When I play, I play HARD, and all I want to do is play! Just making up for lost time, I guess. I would do so well in a house with other dogs or lots of playdates and fun activities!

Despite my past, I am already warm and affectionate with my human friends. I haven’t met very many, though, so I can be a bit timid at times. Anyone looking to bring me into their home should be prepared to spend one on one time with me not only so that I can learn how to be a girl of high society, but also so I can build the trust I so desperately want with a person. I am learning quickly how to be a pet, but it’s helpful for my friends to remember that I wasn’t a pet for the first formative months of my life.

I hope that you’ll consider welcoming me into your family. At the end of a long day, I promise that a Brownie is all you need!

Love and facelicks,
your Brownie

More about this rescue

Surfers for Strays was started in January of 2017 by Isabel Velasco and Natalie Ritenour when they rescued 7 puppies and their mother, who had been abandoned at a local hot springs in Lagunillas, Guerrero, Mexico. The puppies were being eaten alive by parasites and their mother was severely malnourished.

Working together the women devised a plan to house and care for the animals and raise funds and more importantly, raise awareness to sterilize pets. They gained enough support in the local community to start helping “callajeros”, street animals in the villages of Troncones, Los Llanos, La Saladita and surrounding regions.

With the help of local veterinarians and citizens, they organized spay and neuter clinics and a program to educate children on how to treat and care for animals. Surfers and other travelers began volunteering and growing the network to foster and adopt animals in the US and Canada. With that momentum and the love and support of key volunteers, Surfers for Strays Inc. was founded in August of 2019 to cover more ground and help more animals escape the cycle of neglect, abuse and abandonment. From 2020-2021, Surfers for Strays adopted out more than 250 dogs and cats to fur-ever homes in North America and paid for more than 3,150 dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered in local communities in Mexico.

Your donations support our programs to sterilize, rehabilitate, find fosters and adopters for animals in need. Your donations also support education programs for the humane treatment of animals in underserved communities. Together we are saving animals and sharing the Mucho Aloha spirit.
