d. LB PREPARING FOR SUMMER: As visitors/winter residents start to leave our wonderful community, please spare a thought for those that are left behind. Summer is a traumatic time for many dogs and families that remain in LB because their income diminishes and dogs are surrendered, abandoned or sometimes starve. The good news is that you can help ALMA to get through the tough summer months in FOUR ways – even if you’re not here in town:
- FOSTERone of our longer-term dogs such as the beautifulFelipe. Just three months in your care could change his life and bring you companionship this summer while we find his forever home.
- DOG FOOD BANK– help us to reach our target of 50 bags to feed the deserving by donating either a bag at Homes & Land of Baja or via ourdonate button.
- DONATE– to enable us to treat the neglected http://almahumanitaria.org/donate/
- ESCORT – We are in desperate need of escorts flying from Cabo to Calgary and Vancouver at the end of April / first week of May. Westjet stops flying pets on May 15 in the hold.
This is a great community, and even though you might not be here, your help and support can make this a better place to live. info@almahumanitaria.org.
