Looking for a furry addition to your family? There are a few great Puerto Vallarta dog rescue shelters and adoption centers for you to start your search. Pet adoption is always a great way to go. Not only does adopting a pet from an animal rescue organization save a life, but it can also save you money!
They usually ask for a small fee to help support the organization and facilitate the care of other animals. Puppies will normally have a slightly higher fee than adult dogs. This is because puppies require more vaccinations, and they’re also more popular with prospective pet parents.
SPCA Puerto Vallarta
SPCA Puerto Vallarta (Sociedad Protectora y Compasiva por los Animales PV) was founded by Janice Chatterton and opened its doors in 2012. It is a local organization that helps rescue animals, promotes sterilization, and facilitates pet adoption for animals in the Puerto Vallarta area.
SPCA Puerto Vallarta is a no-kill shelter and can house up to 130 animals at once. Their main goal is to eliminate the euthanasia of healthy and adoptable animals. They rescue and re-home about 200 animals each year.
