My story

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

***Currently located in Baja California, Mexico***



Hi there, my name is Kira.

I used to live in a home with my family, but my original owner sadly passed away a few years ago. After that, there was nobody to care for me, so I lived on the street, grateful for the food kind neighbors would give to me. I became pregnant several times, but it was hard for my babies to survive in the street and many of them also passed away. As I’m sure you can understand, I became very depressed.

One day, a very kind man noticed me and brought me to safety. Now, I feel like I have a new lease on life. I’m looking for a family who understands the hardships I have experienced and is ready to give me all the love I have missed out on. I am very calm and mellow, and my energy level is pretty mild. I do very well with other dogs and children - I love to make friends with everyone, dog and human. However, I do not enjoy being around cats (I really don’t understand them at all!).

I can’t wait to find my furever family who will love me as much as I love them.

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.
