We’re back at it March 20 — and we need your help!!!

Goal: 100+ surgeries in ONE day = $3,000 USD (50,000 pesos)
$30 USD / 500 pesos = one life changed. Sponsor 1 cat or dog. Or 5. Or 10. Every peso goes directly to the animals.

300+ (yes, 300!!!) surgeries since December!!! This is working. Every surgery means one less litter born into suffering.

Animal welfare and public health are at the heart of everything we do.
We work tirelessly to improve the lives of animals and create a healthier, more compassionate community for everyone. But the need remains urgent, and your support is essential to building a sustainable future where animals and people thrive together.

Thanks to You!
Your generous support has helped us achieve remarkable milestones and make a meaningful difference for countless animals, their families, and our community in Lo de Marcos and beyond. A heartfelt thank you from the Amigos de Animales Lo de Marcos team—Nancy, Beth, and Molly.
But There’s Still Much More to Do!
The need remains great, and with your continued help, we can achieve even more. Join us as we work toward a brighter, healthier future for animals and our community.

Our Mission and Efforts
  • Ongoing Spay/Neuter Services: Providing free spay/neuter services year-round is at the heart of what we do. To date, we have successfully spayed/neutered over 520 animals, reducing unwanted litters and improving public health across Lo de Marcos and surrounding towns. Our goal is to reach 1000 animals by the end of 2025.

  • Rescue and Adoption: With limited time and resources, we’ve rescued and re-homed countless animals, giving them the chance to live happy, healthy lives.

  • Education: Education is a cornerstone of our mission. By engaging with local schools and visiting homes, we provide hands-on lessons about animal welfare and the critical role of spaying and neutering. These efforts foster compassion, responsibility, and awareness within the community, empowering the next generation to create a brighter future for animals and their human neighbors.
  • Community Connections: We are deeply committed to supporting the broader region, extending our outreach to neighboring towns such as Ursulo Galván, Villa Morelos, Chula Vista, Monteón, and beyond. Additionally, by working collaboratively with partner organizations like SPA in San Pancho and JBAR in the Jaltemba Bay area, we strengthen the interconnected fabric of our communities. Together, we build a unified, compassionate network that uplifts the lives of both animals and people.

Our Impact Since August 2023
  • Animals Helped: Over 600 animals have been spayed, neutered, or rescued.


  • Funds Raised and Invested: More than $20,000 USD has been raised and fully invested in providing free spay/neuter, care, and resources to the community and its animals.

These achievements are a testament to the generosity and commitment of our supporters. Together, we’re making a lasting difference—thank you for being part of this journey.

Our 2025 Goal
We’re setting an ambitious target to raise $25,000 in 2025, and with your support, we can make it happen! These funds will help us:
  • Expand spay/neuter clinics: Reach even more animals in Lo de Marcos and neighboring towns, reducing overpopulation and ensuring healthier lives for pets and stray animals alike.

  • Provide essential rescue and foster resources: Care for animals in need and give them the best chance at finding loving, forever homes.
  • Grow education outreach: Inspire compassion and responsibility by teaching local families and schools about humane animal care and the importance of spaying/neutering.


  • Empower our volunteers: Equip our dedicated team with the tools and training needed to continue providing life-changing services.

With your generosity, we can transform the lives of hundreds of animals and families, creating a ripple effect of kindness across our community.
Let’s make 2025 a year of hope, health, and compassion—together!
