What To Expect from Animal Rescue in Mexico

Our cat rescue facilities are all about letting cats be cats. We’ll make sure they have enough mental stimulation with opportunities to play and socialize. This will make it easier for people to integrate adopted cats into their families.

Rescue dogs also need to be trained and taught how to live in a house. Our trainers will work with them to get them comfortable around people, including children, through positive reinforcement. You’ll see many websites talking about how rescue dogs need an alpha and to be disciplined.

On the contrary, they need a family unit based on respect and trust. Our teams will support you to learn how to do that at home so that you and your rescue dogs can lead happy and fulfilled lives. As an example, the aim is to reward positive behavior with treats at first although a clicker or whistle works too.

Overall, our teams will work with whoever is looking to adopt to understand their lifestyle and preferences. This will allow us to match the right style of animal for the best possible chance of success.
