Mulege Puppies
Is there a place in Mulege where I can adopt a Puppie? Our house sitter needs company.

you probably can't walk 3 blocks without finding a stray that needs adopting!
get out and look around, ask your neighbors!

Were Driving down to Chivato on Thursday. Is La Bocana on the way? No particular breed, "well maybe" ( Medium Size ) breed would be great.

Ask around in Mulege, specifically for Dr. David Rose, an MD who also acts as a Vet, helps with spay-neuter program there. David may already be back
home in Washington for the summer. Jimmy Christopher, the Rotary guy in Mulege, knows everything and everybody. He lives near the Jungla.
(AKA Jungle Jims bar, by the river, near Oasis park) If there is a dog available,he will know someone.

good grief...it's Baja. tons of animals are available. if your housekeeper just lives there awhile, pretty soon one, or two, or three or ... .will
show up at the door. or on a walk. or be tossed in the yard. alternatively just ask around.
you can't go wrong with the local 'Sonoran Desert Hound' mixed breed pup or adult. years of interbreeding plus survival training in harsh conditions,
yet still able to love, protect and serve.
hey, and there are always the cats...

(i know fer certain...) there's just the right dog a'waiting in Punta Chivato for his/her new owner.
However, here's some ideas:
The Mulege PAWS Clinic is closed for the season. A local summer contact person is Michelle, 615-153-0024; perhaps she knows of a worthy dog.
When your housesitter adopts an animal while in Baja be sure to take it to the Centro Salud (hospital building) in Mulege for rabies shots or to Dr.
Manuel Cota in Santa Rosalia, 615-155-9194, for vaccines and spay/neuter. Both doctors will give you the proper travel documentation to take the
animal north of the border when you leave.
An important caveat: If you adopt a Baja dog or cat (or any animal) don't just abandon it back to the wild when you leave. Either adopt it for life
with a Forever Home and take it with you when you leave, or please do the right thing and 1)go the mile and find it another home before you leave,
which may not be easy OR 2)don't adopt in the first place; this isn't about us humans, its about the animals.

This is so very true. I adopted a puppy last summer that was abandoned on the beach in Bahia. She had been a loyal and very smart dog from the get go.
Just the opposite happens with her though. Every time, and I mean every time that it's time to load up into the truck to head back north Moonie will
give us "that look" and walk off into the desert. She did it when she was just a few months old up to just this past spring break. This last time we
called her back, she was out in the desert with some coyote friends helping them chew up some yummy morsel dumped in the outback by our neighbors.
It's as if she tells us, "it's been fun, see you the next time you're down."
