In the charming town of Bucerías, just a short drive from Nuevo Vallarta, a group of passionate locals is making a big difference in the lives of our four-legged friends. A Dog’s New Life is a beloved nonprofit dog rescue and shelter that works tirelessly to save and rehabilitate street dogs who have been abused, neglected, or injured. Their mission is simple yet powerful: give each rescued dog the second chance they deserve, and connect them with loving homes in the United States and Canada. It’s a cause that has touched the hearts of the community and visitors alike.
Giving dogs a fresh start
Every day, the team at v cares for abandoned, sick, and injured dogs, offering them food, shelter, and veterinary care. They respond to cases reported by local authorities and work to promote spay and neuter programs that help control overpopulation and prevent suffering.
Finding the perfect home is at the heart of what they do. For families abroad who wish to adopt, the foundation handles all the paperwork so their new furry friend can travel safely and smoothly. This means no stress for the adopter… only the joy of welcoming a happy, healthy dog into their family and giving them a fresh start in a loving home.
Visits to Marival Emotions Resort by Mercure
If you are staying with us on a Monday during the winter season, you might notice an extra dose of cuteness by Piazzeta de Forni, between the Club and Grand towers. That’s when A Dog’s New Life visits the resort, bringing along sweet dogs ready to meet their forever families.
Even if you’re vacationing from the US or Canada, A Dog’s New Life can make it possible for your new pet to come home to you. You’ll also find adorable merchandise for sale, with proceeds helping support the shelter’s work. It’s the perfect opportunity to make a new best friend or simply enjoy a little puppy love during your vacation.
How to help and donate to A Dog’s New Life
Rescuing and caring for dogs takes a lot of resources. A Dog’s New Life shelter runs entirely on donations and adoption fees, which cover everything from vet bills and medical treatments to food, shelter staff salaries, and preventative care like flea, tick, and heartworm protection. They also fund spay/neuter clinics, special surgeries, and treatments for illnesses.
You can support their mission through one-time donations or set up a monthly contribution in USD, CAD, or MXN. They accept credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference in a dog’s life. To donate, visit the donation page on A Dog’s New Life website.
Love, laughter, and a happier tomorrow for you and your new best friend
A Dog’s New Life is proof that kindness can transform lives for dogs and for the people who adopt them. Next time you are here at Marival Emotions Resort by Mercure, stop by on Monday, between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm, to meet the visiting pups. You might just find a loyal friend to bring home, along with unforgettable vacation memories!
