PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC CONCERNING THE PROPER CARE OF COMPANION ANIMALS AND ASSIST IN REDUCING THE OVERPOPULATION THROUGH SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS. THE GOAL IS TO WORK WITH PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHO RESCUE DOGS AND FOSTER THEM IN THEIR OWN HOMES. WE PROVIDE FOOD, VETERINARY CARE, SUPPLIES, AND SUPPORT WHILE WE FIND PERMANENT HOMES FOR THESE ANIMALS. THIS IS NOT A SHELTER IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE. RATHER WE EMPOWER LOCAL RESCUERS WHO MAKE THE BEST ADVOCATES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS FOR MORE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. BY THEIR EXAMPLE THEY EDUCATE FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND NEIGHBORS ABOUT PROPER ANIMAL CARE INCLUDING SPAY/NEUTERING TO REDUCE THE NUMBERS OF UNWANTED ANIMALS.

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.
