Transforming Lives by Changing the Culture for Street Animals
Every day in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, countless street dogs and cats struggle with hunger, illness, and abandonment.
They have no voice to ask for help, no way to escape the cycle of neglect on their own. But together, we can change their story.
The Crisis Is Real
Dogs and cats are sentient beings. They feel love, fear, pain, and joy—just like we do. Yet thousands suffer silently on the streets, victims of a growing problem: overpopulation.
A single unspayed dog can lead to 67,000 puppies in six years.
One unspayed cat can result in 370,000 kittens in seven years.
Without intervention, the cycle continues, creating immense suffering and strain on communities.
Changing the Culture, Solving the Problem
Rescuing animals is like pulling kittens from a raging river. No matter how many you save, more keep coming. The real solution?
Stopping the problem at its source. Sterilization is our way of “stopping the person upstream”—preventing unwanted litters and breaking the cycle before it begins.
At Por Los Animales, we focus on long-term solutions:
Sterilization Clinics: Free and low-cost spay and neuter services to reduce overpopulation.
Emergency Animal Care: Lifesaving medical treatment for animals in critical need.
Community Supply Pantry: Food, vaccines, flea/tick medicine, and dewormers for street animals.
Education Programs: Teaching empathy and care in Zihuatanejo’s underserved neighborhoods to create lasting cultural change.
