My story

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

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

Greetings! I’m Pancho.

I’m a sweet and delightful fellow who has come a long way from my rough start in life...

I was discovered on the street by a couple of kind hearted flight attendants who were on a layover. They could clearly see that I was limping with gruesome open wounds on my back legs and in urgent need of care. I was nursed back to health by the flight attendants and a compassionate couple who lives in the town. Together they got me proper veterinary treatment and my foster parents diligently cleaned and treated my wounds everyday. I now happily have a new lease on life!

I am a fun loving playful dog with a heart-melting goofy face and sweet demeanor. I love humans and attention, especially pets on the head. I don't quite understand belly and back rubs, but I am learning to accept them! I promise to be your bff in no time!!

I love to play with my toys and go for walks. Even though I’m about two years old, I have a puppy-like attitude and demeanor and am always down for an adventure! I love to be the center of attention and would do great as the only pup in the house, but at the same time I have some really good dog friends at the shelter and with a slow intro I would make a great second dog too. I’ll definitely make sure to give you my full and undivided love!

My foster parents moved back to Canada and I was transferred to the shelter a few weeks ago. I’m grateful to the volunteers here but it is not the ideal environment for me. I am looking for my forever home that will fit with all of my beautiful and unique qualities. I cannot wait to get to know my fur-ever family! Will I be your future buddy?

Lots of facelicks,

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.
