After many stays in Playa del Carmen, where lounging on the beach never really suited me, I sought a more meaningful way to spend my time. As a dog lover, I discovered CENCAAZ and began volunteering there. I met incredible dogs—survivors of the worst circumstances—who still showed extraordinary resilience. These dogs are no different from those who share our homes; they didn’t end up at the shelter by choice but because they were victims of human neglect or cruelty.
Fortunately, I also met extraordinary volunteers—kind-hearted individuals who work tirelessly to improve the daily lives of these dogs. Together, we strive not only to meet their basic needs but also to enrich their lives during their time at the shelter, providing them with love, care, and stimulation.
Inspired, I actively participate with K9 Lifesavers Mexico, convinced that helping animals requires a multifaceted approach: donations, adoption, fostering and, most importantly, community education
