Shelter Tours

We have set the dates for the official shelter tours for this year and we hope YOU can join us on this little Mexican adventure. In addition to meeting some of the 150+ residents out at the ranch, you will see some of the countryside of rural Nayarit and the charming colonial village of San Juan del Valle. All this for only $300 pesos per person (or $20 by PayPal) and we throw in the bottled water and cat treats plus round-trip transportation from one of three convenient meeting points. The first tour is scheduled for November 25, then December 9 and 23 and every Wednesday in January and February. For more detailed information and to make your reservation, just click HERE.

Garage Sale News

Our second annual PuRR Project Garage Sale on November 7/8 was a big success! Thanks to all the generous folks who had been donating items for the last five months, we had plenty of inventory to sell... literally something for everyone. By closing time on Sunday, there was only some clothing left and that was donated to the local women's shelter and the orphanage. Our piggy bank is pretty empty by this time of year, so this first fundraiser of the season is important... and we raised enough money to fund the shelter for three whole weeks! Thanks to volunteers Marilyn Khan, Linda Brasseal, Brenda Gill, Bob & Shanti Doelger, George Long, Suzanna Persa, Lisa Love, Pat Brumfield and Linda Shepherd for their hard work!
