Loved by all at the shelter, this sweet, goofy boy is a joy to be around.
Andy was found wandering around the PV airport, initially, it was thought that he belonged to someone there but he did not and was likely dumped. He was so happy to give affection to any of the airport patrons. Andy had meningitis when he came into Sula which has left him with some neurological issues, however, this does not stop him walking, swimming, playing, and enjoying life.

Andy loves treats, attention and the company of people and other dogs.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Bentley, and you might have seen me on the Facebook – when someone was trying to find help. 🆘💗Thankfully, I ended up at Sula and their vet is looking after me. 🩺TVT is horrific, just look at my poor eye. My private area (I do not want to mention details here) was also affected. ❌✖️But underneath all that - there I am… A sweet boy who fought to get well. 🐕💞

I looked sad, but if you look closely, you can see my true colors shining through… 🌥️
A survivor, a kind soul, a gentle boy seeking refuge in a loving home (forever foster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico).

As Cindy Lauper sings in “True Colors”:🎤❤️‍🩹

“You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow” […]

(True Colors, 2005)

Sending my love, Bentley.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Cerys and I was found running away from a pack of dogs… (I am in heat as unfortunately I was not spayed, and on top of it I was homeless). No thank you, I say for this dating service! No puppies for me please. I hope to find someone who will adopt or foster me forever and we can happily live together. I will be spayed of course, and local foster close to Puerto Vallarta would be amazing to make sure that Sula’s vet can look after my future medical needs. Vaccination here, deworming there – we all know that having someone to count on during medical situations is a huge deal! 🩺💊⚕️❤️

As we enjoy life, we can stroll wherever we fancy, people watch as you sip your favorite cocktail or binge watch your favorite show. In the great scheme of life my needs are not big. Safe home, love, food, and you – a short list to make an older girl happy… 🍗💘📺

What I have to offer is myself, unedited and unscripted. Full of love, and hope. Imagine: it is late at night, and you cannot sleep. You go to the kitchen to get some water (or ice cream) and you wonder how you will function the next day if you don’t get any rest… Then, all of the sudden you hear my breath.. In and out, in and out. Quiet, even, peaceful. 💤🐕As you finish your ice cream, ooops, I mean water, you catch yourself drifting away to sleep listening to my breath. Just there in this moment the world stops, and before you completely fall asleep on the couch you write on the notepad: get more ice cream and dog cookies. 🍨🍖

This could be us. Our story. Our love.
Sending hugs, Cerys.💛

🍀 CLOVER (AKA - VOLDEMORT, AKA - GORDA, AKA - GRIS) 🍀 SEARCHING FOR FOREVER HOME IN PUERTO VALLARTA...

This girl (with too many names to choose from 🥴😅), is searching for her forever home here in Puerto Vallarta...
Clover was found by Roy, close to the shelter when she was just a few months old and apart from seeing that she has a deformed nose, we soon after discovered that she also has a hole in the roof of her mouth and her teeth are aligned differently...she was born with a cleft palate and despite having 2 surgeries to try to close the hole, each time it did not stay closed because there is not enough skin to hold it together...we decided not to proceed with further operations, as she is happy, she eats well, she is not in any pain and she lives life as if she has no worries in the world... due to her cleft palate, we are looking for a home locally...she will need regular monitoring and cleaning of her mouth and we understand that this can be very expensive north of the border.
Aside from her cleft palate and deformed nose, Clover is a very playful, cheeky girl, who gets along great with other dogs and children, she loves to swim in the river...not so keen on the pool...she loves her food and can be a little grumpy if other dogs approach her while eating, but listens well when corrected...she loves to give noisy, slobbery kisses and she has the cutest little gargle snore.

Erika is a favorite amongst the volunteers, she loves being around people. She walks well on the leash and LOVES toys or anything impersonating a toy, such as an old water bottle or anything else. One mans rubbish is another dogs treasure :) She is a happy go lucky dog but it terrified of loud bangs / thunder. Erika prefers people to dogs so we are looking for a home for her where she will be the only dog. Due to the medical needs - skin cancer local forever foster home is preferred.

Please consider showing Erika what true home feels like.💖💖🌼

My past has been a tough one, but I am ready to put it all behind me and live happily ever after.💦💓

One thing to note is that I am a hunter at heart. If you have cats, hamsters or any small critters I may not be your perfect match. With that said water is my jam! I am a perfect beach buddy. We could have a competition who can stay in the water the longest!

I have to be honest and say the Shelter environment is not good for me and I do really need some focused TLC, even if only for a short term rest.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Gumbo, and someone jokingly said that I am 100 years old… Centenarian dog – wow! That would be amazing… However, the joke is on him – sorry Carlos. I am only 11! 📆😜
Today I find myself in quite a predicament – someone asked for help – for me. I wonder what is wrong with me that this so-called help is needed. Possibly I need assistance because I have few teeth at best… 🪥😬

At my age I am not sure that dental work is on my bucket list, but sure dear doctor - take a peek. I am writing about myself not to request dentist related jokes or suggestions, but to check if anyone is looking for a sweet senior to join their life in or around beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I have heard the term “forever foster” which refers to being fostered near Sula, therefore locally. I guess aside from being me – Gumbo – I am also a forever foster candidate. You do not have to vote for me to join this prestigious group – I am in! Amazing Sula Society will cover my medical costs, and you can just enjoy my company.🌇😎🌦️⛅

Looking at the mirror (where did the time go?) I - the pragmatic dog of today’s beautified society wonder if my twinkle is gone. Is anyone out there who would like to share their life with me… I do not know what the future holds or how much time I have left but we never truly know do we? I can be your companion for whatever time life gives us. We can eat tasty food (no bones here unless they are made from yogurt), watch the sunset, and bask in a beautiful sun. We can watch the storms roll by and listed to the thunder. ⛈️🍦🍚

I look forward to hearing from you.
Love, Gumbo

Hello Everyone,

My name is Henry and I am 11 years young gentleman seeking a forever foster or local foster home in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. You may wonder why I am not lobbying for adoption… At my age chances of adoption are quite slim. Probably not as slim as me growing more hair, but pretty close. I am a Xolo dog, a descendant of regal dogs dating back over 3,500 years (as I learned from American Kennel Club website). Ancient Aztecs worshiped my breed for not only the majestic look, but also fierce loyalty. The breed’s name is derived from the Aztec good of fire and lightning, Xolotl.

Wow, that is pretty amazing, isn’t it? Would you like to share your home and love with Xoloitzcuintli dog named Henry (me)? As I cannot perform fire acts nor create lightning, I can enrich your life with love that beams beyond the universe. I can be your shadow, sidekick, and loyal companion. I can be the breath you hear at night and love you see during the day.

Hugs, Henry.

What can I say about myself...

I am very sweet, but no small children recommended as I can be a bit snippy. I am looking for a long term foster or a sponsor. 🔎💖

Sincerely, Jarvis

Meet Margo, found wandering the streets, severely malnourished, and so tired.
We believe she was abandoned, as she stayed in one area. Clearly she has been used to breed. Now too old to have more babies, she must have been deemed to be useless, to have no more value.
This old girl has tumors on four nipples where she has been so used. She will need surgery to remove them.
We are hoping that we will be able to find somebody locally who will foster or adopt, who will let her live her life out being loved and cared for.
Please help us get the word out and find Margo a place of her own.

Marnie is a story of perseverance and hope.

She came to us pregnant, with a distemper and TVT survivor. As a result of the distemper, he lost her entire litter, and had developed poor eyesight, but she can still see shadows in the day. In spite of this, she continues to do the best she can and knows that after surviving hell, she will enjoy all she has.🩷💜

We would like to find her a forever home with people who understand and can look past her issues and see her the special dog she is.

10 is a lucky number!🔟🍀

My name is Mogwai, and I am a 10-year-old gentleman seeking a local forever foster home. Location of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, or its proximity is preferred, as The Sula Society will care for my medical needs. You may wonder if an adoption is on the table, and let me assure you, that I am ready if you are. I am a healthy dog, who’s age is a lucky number 10. My research revealed that number 10 is “linked to the wheel of fortune. 🔮💙This brings new beginnings and allows a successful life showing determination and ambition. The number 10 brings great potential to those who behold it […]” (Numerologyland, 2024.)

Are you ready to share your life with sincere, supportive, tiny, and loving gentleman? Number 10 is about authenticity, loyalty, and inner strength – those are my character traits! I may weigh only 2.6 kg, but my heart and soul are the size of the Andromeda Galaxy. 🌌🌠

As you orbit towards the computer and ponder whether to foster or adopt me, I am here, waiting…⏳

Love, Mogwai.

She is just the sweetest love bug you could ever meet.
She wants to spend her days resting on your lap. We haven’t had the heart to tell her she’s a little chunky to be a lap dog 😂
She’s not very interested in going for a walk during her walk time she would much prefer to cuddle in a volunteers lap and get belly rubs.
She would be the perfect addition to a slower moving household she’s not going to ask for much exercise or excitement. Just lots and lots of love.
She came to the shelter with a large scar on her neck and we know she has had several litters of puppies before she came to us. We do not know what her poor life was like before Sula but we know she’s definitely earned some rest and relaxation.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Obbie and I am a 13-year-old gentleman seeking forever foster home. The location would have to be in or close to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. My locale choice is not due to the fact that Mexico is oh so beautiful (but it is!), but more so due to pragmatic approach to my life. I am on the older side, when thinking about dog’s age, and as a forever foster you can enjoy my company, without financial burden of my medical care (as the need arises). 💸✖️Think of it that way: Sula will look after the vet costs, and you will have a wise, calm companion to snuggle with. Maybe you are not a snuggler… 🧸🤎

The other angle I can use to convey my forever foster request is that you will change my life! You will give me love at the time when I need it most. You will be my sunshine after the storm, and you will show me that I matter even at my old age. ⛈️🌈🌅⛱️

As Helen Keller said once:
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.”

Please open your heart…💗
I am here. Obie

“HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO” 🗡️💞

My name is Ripple and I am a 13-year-old lady who weighs only 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) and is looking for a foster home in or near beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Yes, you read my age correctly, I find myself in my twilight years seeking a loving home. I was found abandoned and never claimed to have a home, hence my current situation. Can you imagine being my age and hoping that someone will open their house and heart for me? I never imagined that this will be me… Yet here I am…😔🐕

I am revealing my soul for the world to see, in hopes that there is someone out there for me. You may wonder why a local foster. Well, because I am of the certain age, The Sula Society will continue to care for my needs. I do not require any medical interventions, once I get some TLC (staying at the vet right now to get a little help – streets are no place to live).⚕️🩺But it is nice to know that if anything arises as the clock of life ticks – I will be looked after. I do not like to think about that, because I still want to experience so many things in my life. 🌇🍦🥰

Are you looking for someone to watch sunsets with? Or maybe you would like to admire geckos as we share some vanilla ice cream? I am looking for my hero! As Bonnie Tyler sings:

“I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood […]

I need a hero” […]🎵

Holding Out for a Hero, 1984.

Hopeful Ripple. 🤞💛🧡🩷❤️

Vaso has had quite a journey with us over the past 2.5 years. He was found on the streets with a swollen belly which led to us finding a tumor on his spleen and involved him getting his spleen removed.
Then in his recovery, he went through a period where walking became very difficult, but decided that this would not define his future. He started walking again on his own and his health has improved completely since then.

This little guy is a lover - he loves being petted and cuddled. He also LOVES to swim. He's fine with other dogs, but he also loves to be on his own and happy to keep to himself.

If you would like a mid-calf height dog that is not too high energy and who would like to just hang around you and chill, this is your little guy!

But Vaso does struggle at the shelter in the current heat, he really needs some air conditioning and pampering.

​

Hi Everyone,

Well, it was a wild ride🎢… I have been living on the streets of Puerto Vallarta for quite some time. My skin condition is a form of dermatitis and I was being helped by a wonderful vet.🩺❤️‍🩹Sula embraced me with love and care and I got better. Look at my pictures, hard to believe what care, medical help and love can do... If you would like to sponsor or adopt me, please contact Sula.📧

Please note that I do have allergies, and I am in process of finding a specialist to address my needs.

Hugs, Zsa Zsa
