It has been such a pleasure to donate to Fiona Animal Refuge. My husband and I visit the area for its worldclass rock climbing and one of the first things you notice when you visit is how many dogs there are everywhere. From pets to strays to pups- there are a lot of dogs that need attention & love. We've had the pleasure of meeting some of the wonderful dogs that Dottie & et all have rescued and they are all the sweetest, most loving dogs, especially Bully the one-legged pit!! We look forward to visiting again post-pandemic.
I can only imagine the daily struggles her and her team have to go through everyday. She is an amazing person for doing this. My girlfriend and I always wear our Fiona Animal Refuge shirts and try to spread the word. I always wish I could do more, but if anyone deserves a helping hand it's this establishment! And I personally know all the donations are helping Dottie and her team!
A beautiful Refuge serving 40,000 dogs in 9 years all free to the poor. Teaching, feeding, worming, spay and neuter surgeries and so much more all free to the poor.
What I give is way short of the overwhelming need but just knowing that a person like Dottie is putting in tireless hours of dedication to the voiceless is a testament to the most noble effort. I take consolation in knowing that my donations, in concert with those of others, add up and make a bigger difference. Thanks Fiona Animal Rescue for the education you provide to those local communities and stopping the suffering by providing your services with the utmost of love!
Several years ago, recognizing the need for attention to neglected animals in the area, Dottie has worked tirelessly to create, build and expand a facility to provide the services required. No other like exists in the region. There are numerous heartwarming stories of animals who have been rescued from heartbreaking situations and given a new chance at life. No donation is wasted. All are directed at improving the facility and services.

The Fiona Animal Refuge has done amazing work with local animals for years and been an asset to the community. I have been happy to support them with the knowledge that my donations go directly to help the dogs and cats of the area.
Dottie and her crew are wonderful. She is the most beautiful person I have ever met, her love for helping animals in Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico is as big as herself.
I have known Dottie Cross all my life. Her ardent objective to educate people on animal care, and her care for all the dogs she possibly can, is beyond passion! She and her crew at Fiona Animal Refuge are tireless in their goals and energy. They are true Heros!!

For 10 years I have watched my sister Dottie Cross with single minded determination establish and grow the Fiona Animal Refuge of Hidalgo. Through her efforts and devotion to the suffering street dogs and strays, she brought free veterinary services to this rural Mexican community. The clinic focuses on spay/neuter to help curb overpopulation. As a 501c3 she depends solely on the generosity of the public. This year they have treated over 4000 animals. I have come on board to help spread her story through social media.
