***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico***
Hello from the Tour de France Litter!
My name is Rimini and I and my 5 siblings were named after some famous cities of the Tour de France! While we are born in a surf hotspot, we are definitely sporty pups and are proud name bearers connected to such a paw-some event!
We were born in an empoverished village in Guerrero, Mexico. Our mom is a beloved family dog, but her owners were not able to cover her sterilization. This is a vicious circle because then she had us, 6 more dogs to feed for the family, that barely had enough money to sustain themselves. Of course we didn't see a vet in our early days, were infested by fleas and ticks and had no vaccines to protect us from the fatal viruses like Distemper or Parvo that are a consistent threat in our village. The family eventually realized that they needed help and contacted Surfers for Strays, who immediately came to our rescue.
The volunteers of the organization brought bags of food for our mom and the two other family dogs, gave us our first vaccines and also made sure we finally got rid of those itchy ticks and fleas. We received a bath with nice warm water, some not so nice tasting dewormer and lots and lots of cuddles and love. While we were waiting for space to open up at the rescue facility we got regular visits from the volunteers, who made sure we were doing well and they also brought lots of love and treats. We couldn't help ourselves but fall in love with them! And so, we were not really sad, when one day they came and brought us to our new residence. We were over the moon, when we saw the cosy beds , the fresh water without any algues , a basket full of toys and our very own food bowls ! Our mom and the other two dogs at our birth place are now sterilized - Surfers for Strays organized and paid for that!
Our quarantine time was a blast for us, getting healthier and spunkier every day! After being medically cleared we were finally able to meet the other dogs at the shelter and oh we love to romp around with them. We get to go on walks, meet new volunteers and sometimes new dogs, eat plenty of food to grow big and strong and we are just enjoying life! We are very gentle players and are not hyper active, while still being full of fun puppy energy. We are crate trained (we eat and sleep in there) but we also love to cuddle with the volunteers on the bed.
Life is good. BUT. We heard it will get even better - with our very own fur-ever family!!! We heard so much about the life that awaits us in the US or Canada once we get adopted - we cannot stop dreaming about it! We want that, too!
I am so excited to hear from you (soon!)
All the love and facelicks from your
Rimini
