One Community Project:
Four Areas of Focus
Sanctuary Hostel is a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to educate people on animal welfare to reduce stray animals on the streets.
We achieve our mission by combining an Animal Rescue with:
Animal Rescue
Community Garden
Education Center
The Vision
We believe that animals and humans can co-exist in harmony and support each other for companionship and security within the natural environment
We will do this by combining our cage free animal rescue in Mexico with our eco-hostel and community garden. That way we can all learn and work together
The MIssion
To create a self-sustained eco-friendly sanctuary where humans, dogs, cats and any other animals in Mexico can live in peace.
Our cage free animal rescue in Mexico will be combined with a hostel. So you can stay with us and volunteer with the animal rescue. You’ll learn about animals so enriching both your lives.
The Problem
Roughly 70% of Mexico’s 18 million dogs are abandoned and become strays, making it the worst case for pet abandonment in Latin America(1).
Animals are treated more like property than pets, and are often mistreated whether living in a home or on the street(2).
Most attempts to rescue animals often only act as a band aid, not addressing the root of this problem.
Additionally, many animal rescue operations close due to lack of long-term ongoing donations, returning animals back onto the street.
The solution
Our goal is to tackle the stray animal problem at the source and provide a long-term solution with a self-sufficient model. We plan to do this by:
• Encouraging demonstrating animal compassion to young students and surrounding communities
• Training people to better communicate with animals for a happier co-existence
• Setting up an environmentally friendly hostel and community garden to help fund the rescue, provide positive exposures for animals and people and facilitate adoptions and free educational classes
