Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - MexPup has rescued over 350 sick, abused and abandoned street dogs in Puerto Vallarta since it began as a Mexican-Canadian charity two and a half years ago.

The typical rescue dog requires 2-3 months of intensive veterinarian intervention and care by a local foster family before it is flown to British Columbia by a volunteer. There it stays with another foster family one to two weeks before it is adopted to an approved family. MexPup follows up with each of these adopted pets to ensure that it remains in a loving and capable home.

"MexPup charges an adoption fee to help defray expenses, however it's the fundraising activities in both Canada and Puerto Vallarta that sustains our all-volunteer group and allows us to make a difference," said Patty Marchak, President of MexPup.

MexPup will be hosting a fundraiser at the Paradise Community Center on the south side of Puerto Vallarta on Wednesday, January 29th from 6:30 to 10 pm. The event will feature delicious pork tacos, entertainment, raffles and a silent auction. The $150 Peso entry fee includes all the tacos you can eat plus entertainment. A cash beverage and dessert bar will also be available at the Center.

All proceeds go to MexPup so that it can continue to help the sick street dogs in Puerto Vallarta, One Woof at a Time. Tickets can be purchased at El Arrayán and India Gate restaurants, Cassandra Shaw Jewelry and online at cupocity.com.
