About Yo ♥ Animalitos SMA
Yo ♥ Animalitos SMA, (San Miguel de Allende ) believes all animals should be treated with dignity and respect not collected like rubbish, hidden away, and euthanized. Our mission is to protect, advocate, provide care, comfort, and compassion for neglected, abandoned, surrendered, and abused animals which are housed at our local government shelter: Control Canino. Animal welfare requires heavy lifting and in reflection meaningful change can only be accomplished with greater municipal and community participation.
Yo ♥ Animalitos is proud and determined to expand our services to dogs who are lost but not forgotten. With limited resources and grit we helped move over 100 dogs into veterinary care, foster and permanent homes. With greater community support and municipal leadership we will repair, provide comfort, and protect these precious souls from wind, rain, and cold while we focus on adoptions and preventions to reduce unnecessary euthanizations. It´s a race against time for the lost animales. Ten days to be exact. Join us for the love of it!
We´ve made progress. Improvements by generous donors turned a muddy cavern with rats vs. dogs into a puppy house with a floor, roof, and a bodega for supplies. Two large corrals were erected as play space so dogs can be dogs. Many physical improvements are needed as the grass is truly greener over the septic tank and hopefully a vacant city building on the property may become a low cost vet clinic for spays and neutering, X-ray machine, offices, plus a toilet for the staff and guests. One can dream.
