Accommodation with breakfast is still needed for the volunteer vets who are arriving from Mexico City and Tepic . In addition, we need donations of one more lunch to feed the volunteers working the clinic as well as donations of water, drinks and snacks. Many thanks to Faye and Fred Hodson and Bobi and Brian Emmons for offering to make lunch for one of the three days!
Other areas of need include:
Temporary foster homes to offer care to recovering street animals for a few days until they are released back to the streets.
Newspapers
Donations of dog and cat food
Adoptive homes for animals
Donations of money
Thank you for your support! We are making a difference and with your continued support, we hope to eliminate the suffering of these animals. Please spread the word about our clinic!

Just a reminder that our next clinic will be held in La Penita on November 12 to 16th. Exact dates will be sent later as we need a day to set up the clinic and another day to clean and pack up. Thank you to Brian and Carole Francoeur for offering their home to host the clinic!
Frida, the dog we drove back from Mexico this summer is doing well with her new family in Canada…I thought you might enjoy the photo of her wearing her new Canadian sweater!
Celia, our animal fairy Godmother in Mexico, has adopted out all the kittens (we had SO many!) as well as Sally (also known as Salsa) after rescuing her back to heath. Sally was carried to our door by Janice and Larry, sick, suffering and really in very poor health (see picture). Thanks to Celia and the money Janice and Larry gave Celia to pay for medicine and food, Sally became a very healthy, frisky, happy dog. I will send photos and the story of Janice and Larry's amazing rescues in a following newsletter. Celia now has only one dog waiting for adoption. Celia also receives our support with dog and cat food to feed the homeless and needy animals in La Colonia, a poorer area north of La Penita. Help with food for dogs and cats would be great.
Verdelle and Bill Wilson in Qualicum Beach offered two garage sales, one in August and the other in September with all proceeds going to Jaltemba Bay Animal Rescue. Over $500.00 was raised! What a great idea! Maybe this fund raiser will spread to other areas! Our funds are low now due to the number of clinics held this past year (3) and the number of animals rescued, adopted, medically treated or fed so every bit helps! We will let you know the results!
Many thanks to Carole Thacker who is transporting donated kennels, syringes, collars and leashes back to Mexico for us. Also many thanks to Bill, Verdelle, Tony and Cheryl for their donations of kennels, syringes, collars and leashes.
