  • International Dog Adoption Facilitation

    WHILE LOCAL ADOPTION IN MEXICO IS INCREASING, HOPE 4 LA PAWZ CONTINUES TO FACILITATE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS FOR DOGS IN NEED. THIS YEAR, 38 DOGS WERE TRANSPORTED FROM LA PAZ TO PERMANENT HOMES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, WHERE ADOPTERS SPECIFICALLY SOUGHT DOGS THAT HAD BEEN FOSTERED AND REHABILITATED IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. COORDINATING THESE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS REQUIRES A NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS ACROSS MEXICO, THE U.S., AND CANADA. THESE VOLUNTEERS ASSIST WITH SECURING AIRLINE-APPROVED KENNELS, ARRANGING TRANSPORT LOGISTICS, AND ENSURING A SMOOTH TRANSITION FOR THE DOGS. HOPE 4 LA PAWZ ALSO MANAGES THE RETURN OF KENNELS TO LA PAZ, ENABLING FUTURE TRANSPORT OPERATIONS. THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN HOPE 4 LA PAWZ AND AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS IS MAKING A MEASURABLE IMPACT ON ANIMAL WELFARE IN MEXICO. THE INCREASE IN LOCAL ADOPTIONS DEMONSTRATES GROWING COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR RESCUING AND REHOMING STREET DOGS, WHILE THE ORGANIZATIONS DIRECT FUNDING OF VETERINARY CARE ENSURES THAT MORE DOGS RECEIVE THE TREATMENT THEY NEED TO BECOME ADOPTABLE.

  • Program 1 [2025]

    CROSS-BORDER RESCUE, REHABILITATION, AND ADOPTION SUPPORT HOPE 4 LA PAWZ, A U.S.-BASED NONPROFIT, WORKS IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH VOLUNTARIOS POR LOS PERROS DE LA PAZ, A.C. (ALSO KNOWN AS AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS), A REGISTERED MEXICAN NONPROFIT IN LA PAZ, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. TOGETHER, THE ORGANIZATIONS RESCUE, REHABILITATE, AND REHOME ABANDONED DOGS, WITH SUPPORT FROM A DEDICATED NETWORK OF COMMUNITY RESCUERS KNOWN LOCALLY AS RESCATISTAS. THROUGHOUT 2025, HOPE 4 LA PAWZ DIRECTLY FUNDED VETERINARY CAREINCLUDING CONSULTATIONS, SURGERIES, MEDICATIONS, AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICESFOR DOGS RESCUED AND FOSTERED BY AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS. THE U.S. CHARITY ALSO MANAGED ADOPTION OUTREACH AND TRANSPORTATION FOR DOGS PLACED IN HOMES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, WHILE ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE INCREASING NUMBER OF ADOPTIONS TAKING PLACE WITHIN MEXICO. IN 2025, 96 DOGS FOUND PERMANENT HOMESTHE SAME NUMBER AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR. HOWEVER, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A MAJORITY (74 DOGS) WERE ADOPTED WITHIN MEXICO, AND 22 WERE ADOPTED IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. THIS REPRESENTS A DRAMATIC SHIFT FROM 2024, WHEN 38 DOGS WERE ADOPTED IN MEXICO AND 58 WERE ADOPTED ABROAD. THIS SHIFT IS THE RESULT OF SUSTAINED LOCAL OUTREACH AND EDUCATION EFFORTS, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH PETCO MEXICO, WHERE AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS NOW HOLDS WEEKLY ADOPTION EVENTS AT THEIR LA PAZ LOCATION. THESE EFFORTS HAVE EXPANDED VISIBILITY, BUILT TRUST WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AND INCREASED WILLINGNESS AMONG LOCAL FAMILIES TO ADOPT REHABILITATED STREET DOGS. HOPE 4 LA PAWZ ALSO CONTINUES TO PROVIDE MENTORSHIP TO AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS AS IT CULTIVATES LOCAL LEADERSHIP. IN 2025, THESE LEADERS ADVANCED ANIMAL WELFARE THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH CITY OFFICIALS ON POLICY IMPROVEMENTS, MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, AND HOSTING EVENTS THAT PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP AND HUMAN-ANIMAL CONNECTION.
