My Nonprofit Reviews

We adopted our first Baja Animal Sanctuary dog, Daniella, in 1998. Since then, we have adopted NINE BAS dogs! There is something special about BAS dogs - while all rescued dogs seem to appreciate their new lives, BAS dogs seem to possess an extra layer of heart and soul. BAS takes dogs, often who are in horrific shape, physically and often emotionally, and transforms them into happy, healthy, amazing animals! Our last and current BAS dog, Luigi, was tethered in Mexico, attacked by wild dogs who tore off half his face, BAS saved him, had surgery to repair his wounds, and we welcomed him into our home in 2019. Luigi, like all our previous BAS dogs, is a love! BAS does amazing work in an environment that often times is challenging to say the least. Every single dog is special to them and every dog they save will be given what they need, then be adopted into an appropriate home, or if need be, spend their lives in the safety and care of the sanctuary. Both my husband and I are on the Board of BAS, that's how much we believe in what they do - they save and transform lives that sadly, would often be left to fend for themselves or die. BAS makes miracles happen!

We adopted our first Baja Animal Sanctuary (BAS) dog, Daniella, in the mid-90s. Daniella had been run over by a car in Mexico and left to die until BAS found her, cared for her, amputated her crushed leg, and put her up for adoption. Little did we know that Daniella would be the first of NINE BAS dogs we went on to adopt! After 25+ years, we now have Luigi (who was tied up in Mexico, half his face taken off by a pack of dogs) and Hope (run over by a car, leg amputated) to remind us how magical BAS dogs are. They seem to appreciate more, love more, and truly treasure each day they have. My husband and are donors and volunteers and refer anyone looking for a wonderful dog or cat to Baja Animal Sanctuary. BAS does amazing work and no matter how difficult the economy, or even the weather in Mexico, the dogs'' and cats' care and well-being come first. They do their very best, 24/7, to educate, spay/neuter, and adopt precious lives - they are wonderful!
