EL MALECÓN – LLENO DE GENTE |
I have never seen as many people and tour buses in Puerto Vallarta as I have this July. Traffic can be dense and the beaches and restaurants are full. It will stay like this until August 15th, when schools are back in session. Locals say that the big numbers of nationals in Vallarta are due in part to the teachers union strikes in Oaxaca, which have closed streets there and disrupted traffic between Mexico City and Oaxaca, and the sad fact that Acapulco is no longer a desirable tourist destination.

TOUR BUSES JUST OUTSIDE SAYULITA – CAMIÓNES TURÍSTICOS – SAYULITA, NAYARIT |
ADOPTED!: Last week at the clinic in Villa de Guadalupe, Frank Ohly, who has volunteered at our clinics twice a week for the past three years, mentioned that he and his wife Vicki would like to adopt a Boxer rescue. They have owned many Boxers, the last of which died of old age six weeks ago. As I began posting the blog on over 30 FaceBook pages a few days later, I saw a photo of a “Leila,” a rescued white female Boxer on the Sayulitanimals page. On a cloudy, grey Tuesday,
Vicki, Frank and I drove to Sayulita to meet Sara Briner (founder and director of SayulitAnimals) and Shelly Yoged (co-director) at their headquarters on the outskirts of town. The beautiful and sweet Boxer was an immediate adoption and renamed “Greta.”

Two hours before we had arrived, a cardboard box with five loudly crying tiny black kittens had been left at the front door of SayulitAnimals. A mama cat missing her kittens was found for the orphans, who will be for adoption in eight weeks.

RESTAURANTES MUY CERCA DE SAYULITANIMALS – CINCO MINUTOS FUERA DEL CENTRO DE SAYULITA |
As there was a long line of tour buses parked across the street from SayulitAnimals and the dirt roads were muddy from recent rains, we decided not to go into town. Instead, we enjoyed a delicious and very inexpensive lunch at a simple restaurant on the side of the road.

SEIS PERROS EN ADOPCIÓN PASEANDO VIERNES A LAS 7 DE LA NOCHE PARA DOS HORAS EN EL MALECÓN. VOLUNTARIOS DE VALLARTA ADVENTURES EN AZUL Y VOLUNTARIOS DE LADRA EN NEGRO. |
Six great dogs (two from LADRA and four from Colette) went with the group for a two-hour stroll on the very busy malécon. Interested adopters were given slips of paper with Colette´s and LADRA´s contacts and asked to email or call the next day to arrange at-home interviews.

Vallarta Adventures not only provided three employees, but also neon green “Adopt Me” vests for the dogs without “Vallarta Adventures” on them. This promenade was simply about Ricardo Farkas, owner of Vallarta Adventures, wanting to help rescued dogs find homes.
