We provide care, shelter and rehabilitation to dogs rescued in the Puerto Vallarta area and to match them with adoptive families around the world!

Mission Statement

Ladra Puerto Vallarta - Las Animas Dog Rescue Association is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer-based dog rescue organization serving the Puerto Vallarta area.
We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason.
Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment and the training we can give them to prepare them for their new safe lives.
We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed and to the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.
We are determined to keep administrative expenses extremely low so that virtually all money taken in goes directly to the care of the animals.
We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.
