Saving dogs and helping humans
For every wedding that we realize we do a donation in the name of groom and bride to SOS el arca, a non-profit dog shelter and completely privately funded, with no government financial support.
SOS el arca operate using donations from the community. Often, the number of resources the shelters have don’t even come close to the sum of need they face. Unfortunately, while pet shelter donations are something that many people think about, they rarely seem to make them. While you may think that money is the only way you can help, there are actually many things you can do to aid your local animal shelter. Whether you donate your time or items that can either be used, sold or auctioned, you can make a huge difference in the lives of many pets in just a few simple steps.
S.O.S el Arca rescues and rehabilitate dogs from the street and local dog pound , where they catch and kill dogs in three days. Their main objective is to rescue and give in adoption to good homes dogs that have been abandoned, wounded abused, etc.
They are a no kill shelter, their dogs are with them until we find a permanent home.
A little bit of history
In 2011 our president Sylvie Goetz, decided to take the responsibility of adopting a dog and went directly to the local pound.
The conditions were terrible, the dogs didn’t have any food or water, they died of hunger, dehydration and many other horrible ways. She left there with her skinny dog, for many days she carefully cared for him. And after he was well she decided to help all the dogs that were locked up any way she could. She brought them food, published their pictures and found homes for over 80 of them in the first 3 months. Taking care of over 100 dogs was a huge Job and so were the costs, for that reason SOS was born. At first one of the goals of SOS was to work with the local church and create a orphanage for kids and give each child a dog as well as work with zoo therapy with the rescued dogs but due to the amount of dogs in need of desperate help it was necessary to put off those plans for a while and become only a no kill shelter for dogs.
Our mission
Help and save as many dogs as possible from, abuse, abandonment, hunger, etc. By rehabilitating and taking care of them as long as necessary until finding a loving permanent home.
Our vision
To be a positive influence in as many poor, abandoned and wounded dogs of Playa del Carmen as possible that includes but is not limited to:
Spay and neutering
- Rehabilitate both mentally and fisically.
- Care for in our shelter until we find a permanent home.
- Give veterinary care.
Goals
- To create an environment to attract, constant corporate and personal sponsers.
- Active, involved, committed, and regular volunteers.
- To do fun and unique fund raisers.
- To have a strong and regular base of foster homes.
- Without this and your help we simply could not carry on and the dogs would suffer.
Our New Project
5 mobile clinic to serve the communities Sterilizing street per street permanently all year long, through every district and neighborhood, taking the street dogs, sterilize them, mark them, put them back and keep them under observation.
Our Goal is 30 dogs per car 5 days a week, 36000 dogs per year, 216 000 dogs in the next 6 years. Playa del Carmen has acctually over 100000 dogs which aren’t sterilized and livings in the streets. This is the only way to control the huge problems of over population of dogs and cats.
