WHY Mexico, aren there enough dogs in Canada that need help?
A. Our local shelters on Vancouver Island have many larger breed dogs, and there are many people who want to adopt from these shelters but they would like a small breed dog for their own personal reasons. Since most of the dogs in the shelter are larger it leaves the people with few options, so they end up buying, which sometimes means, with out knowing it – puppy mills. Meximutts rescues small to medium size dogs who are in desperate situations, which gives those people an option to adopt and save a dog’s life instead of purchasing a dog. We have chosen not to bring larger breeds to Canada as we feel there are many in the shelters in BC that need homes, so if people are looking for larger dogs than we are not taking a home away from the local dogs. On a second note to this answer, there are dogs all over the world that need help. Compassion should not have borders, therefore if there is a dog here that we can help – we will. If there is a dog in Mexico that we can help – we will.
