Isla Animals

After 2 years... we not only managed to build a new shelter for our animals, we built something much bigger... a safe place, a beautiful place for animals to recover, for volunteers to come experience, a happy place to forget about their past in the streets, cruelty, abandonment.

A lot has happened, and you all made it possible so far... There is still a lot to do, but your help has taken us this far... please consider continuing your support... together we can change the world for these animals!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isla Animals Rescue is HOMELESS. We have been forced out of our shelter space on Isla Mujeres, Mexico. We ARE GETTING SO CLOSE to completing the building of our shelter, even if we still haven't raised all the funds needed to complete it, even when we are split between so many rescue cases that need our attention... We couldn't just SIT AND WAIT! Our plans for the new shelter will be able to house dogs and cats, have space for isolation cases, and for visiting vets to do surgeries and consults for our animals.

Isla Animals does not have the money to make this happen, but you can help by donating to our building fund. It is our dream to have our own space that no one can take away from us.

We broke records this year, we have adopted over 200 dogs, sterilized more than 1000 animals, and we keep rescuing from the streets! Since out eviction we have taken over 100 dogs, and found creative ways to provide the space the dogs need and the best quality of veterinary care.

We are scrambling and our hearts are BREAKING... the animal care we have provided for 23 years is still needed! But we cannot operate with no shelter. SOS PLEASE HELP!!!!

Since 2001 Isla Animals Rescue, located on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, has been fighting to rescue and sterilize the street dogs of the island. We’ve worked tirelessly for decades to offer free services to the community and to offer government-like services (there are no government programs for animals or humane society here). We operate SOLELY on donations. By forcing us out of our location, they’re stopping us from the work that we do for free. We cannot afford a new location, not to mention there are no animal shelter-like locations on the island even available! By taking away our shelter the 200 dogs we’ve sent out this year alone would never have been possible! We are in a CRISIS.

Current cost breakdown (September 2024)

Next projects include:

These projects are being tackle one by one by our volunteers and the necessary professionals as funds are available. The next one on the making is all the electrical and plumbing, and after we are hoping to finish the building of the volunteers apartment and install the windows.

Im reaching out with a heartfelt request for your support. Since August 2023, I’ve had an incredible opportunity to volunteer with Isla animals, an organization dedicated to helping those who are often overlooked – the street dogs, who wonder the streets, unnoticed by many. This causes my passion, and thanks to animals, I’ve been able to make a difference in their lives.

However, we are facing a critical need right now. We have an urgent vet bill that requires immediate attention to ensure these vulnerable dogs receive the care they desperately need. Your generosity can help us cover these costs and continue our mission to provide love and support to those who need most.

Every contribution, big or small, will make a significant impact. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for helping us give these deserving animals a chance at a better life.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Isla Animals and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Isla Animals: Isla Animal's goal is to spay and neuter as many cats and dogs as we can in order to lower the population of unwanted animals who are neglected, abused, starved and considered a threat to the community's health. We have done over 2,000 operations in 2017. Along with this we also offer free parasite medicines, low cost vaccines, medical treatment and education to the local animal owners who have no access to animal aid or the funds to get help if needed. We also save, rehabilitate and rehome street dogs.
