501(c)3 helping street dogs needing urgent medical care. Focusing in Tijuana.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I didn’t recognize her! One of our BEST transformations of a real life fairytail/fairytale that is so jaw dropping GORGEOUS!

Prof. Chloe is one of ours who is still waiting for a Rescue, for her sugary family to love and be adored by. She likes everyone and has a special bond with Prof. Stanley, the weenie dog who is soon leaving for his future. Prof. Chloe deserves that, too.

She’s been with us since 2024 healing and has been ready for a long time now. She’s blossomed into a #goldenretriever mix, maybe with a #bernesemountaindog? Just guessing. Look at her glorious fluffy tail! 😃

Around 4 yrs old, in the 40 lb range and ready to live life and party!

We got her vetted and took care of the sad stuff. All to save her and enable her to be happy and healthy. And to make it easier for rescues to then take her in and finish writing her magical story.

Do you live in southern California and want to foster her because if that’s the case we can hook you up with a rescue which would be worth gold! We cannot help any more dogs because we do not have the space and we do not have the funds. So being a foster would be the first step eith uncorking that plug in the dam of helping other street dogs in need of urgent medical care. ❤️‍🩹

Dogs are not just dogs. They are Professors of Love teaching us and showing us the power of so many life lessons ✨🐕✨ taken in Tijuana, Baja California by @atchoofoundation

It’s happened! He’s ready! Healed! Happy! Bouncy and full of bubbly champagne! Ok, well maybe the champagne part is how I feel seeing Prof. Suerte with his mesmerizing new look that is soooo faraway from his visuals and condition when he was discovered. Struggling and a moth eaten ratty stuffed toy on the broken streets of Tijuana. Now he is a real puppy!

8 months old and currently in the mid 20 pound range. Yup, he loves everyone especially his foster, Graciela Leal who is the one who became his hero when she came upon him one important day in his life. Don’t we love her?!

We need to write his next chapter in his glittery gleeful life. He needs a foster and a rescue. Rescues need fosters so step right up and be his next hero! He has promised to reward you with laughter and the best kind of friendship. Raise your hand!

We were only able to say YES to him because of our kind supporters. Thank you! Let’s keep helping more! Say yes!

Oh the fun of seeing 8 yr old Prof. Lincoln HAPPY! He’s decided he’s been with us forever and is totally relaxed and at home, as the saying goes.

Still working on furs sprouting and medical care while also making sure he’s never hungry and always filled with effervescence (is that bad English?)

His Namjng Angel is @leahmasterson23, his caretaker and the one who found him is @valqui74 (she’s in one is the images) and his medical team is @goumao10. Hoping his fans are YOU! 😃🐕😃

He survived stuff that is unimaginable. It is the color red that dripped from his legs that caught the attention of Travi as she was driving by.

Our dear 8 yr old with nubs for teeth, is 35 thin pounds and has a waggy tail. That tail, his sweet and grateful personality is what gives everyone hope for his survival. Luckily he’s made it overnight and now is at a proper vet getting everything he needs and deserves. He is fighting infection, tick disease, immense pain, but hey painkillers are like gold for a dog like him. So he’s happily feeling like he’s had a few cocktails. Blood work is going to be done and we will know more soon about how to go forward. For now, we will keep polishing up his crown that he deserves to wear.

✨🐕✨His new name is Prof. Lyle! Thank you to dear @jerio88 for donating and becoming his Naming Angel and friend! He’s thrilled! 🥳

if you want to know what happened to him I will put it at the bottom of this. Otherwise you can stop reading here. ❤️‍🩹

Two people witnessed him being attacked with a machete. Not too long before his hero appeared to get him to safety. @goumao10 @marlenepalomaresr taken in Tijuana, Baja California by @atchoofoundation

Trying to stay positive. They have been waiting for years. I feel like a failure. Prof. Harrison is a #belgianmalinois who had his ears ‘edited’ and now needs ear meds for the small canal. Being 13ish he needs normal stuff for that age. Smart, gentle, and well, I’m crazy for him. Look at his sweet face! 💗

His pal, Prof. Franky (8 yrs old?) had both eyes when we got him from his hell environment, but glaucoma struck and now he’s extra flirty with one eye. Smart, friendly, likes everyone.

Why is no rescue interested?! It’s depressing and makes me sad. So thought I’d plead again on their behalf.

Want to foster? If yes let’s connect you with a rescue! Southern California ideally. Oregon or San Francisco could also be an option.

Do you want to honor him with a name for his new life? Become his Naming Angel? He’s waiting for a kind soul to donate $100 for that perk. Those powerful dollars will go to his medical care. And his new life will begin. He is eight years old and soon will look like the puppy he used to be. He is no longer alone on the streets of Tijuana living among garbage. ✨

UPDATE: he’s been named: Prof. Edgar! Thank you @nealcla!!! 💖

Before: He’s waiting. Patiently while he’s safe and getting medical care to make him sparkle again like when he remembered being a puppy. Now he’s 8 yrs old and life is different. Have no fear, his fairytale has begun. Chapter one begins….

He’d love it if a sweet soul would like to honor him with a name via a $100 donation. Those beautiful dollars will have a great impact on helping him to recover from his past. He’s worth it ✨💖✨

It’s hard to not care when seeing a treasure like him having no fur and no to so many other things that creates comfort and happiness.

Today is his first day of his new life where his shoulders can soften from the emotional weight he has been carrying. He gets to start to feel his soul feel good things that feels like glittery gold and cashmere and things that can’t even be described. Describe hope. Describe trust. Describe love. Describe no fear. How will his tail feel to move side to side, powered by his heart? Are his fur seeds wiggling in hopes of sprouting through his leathery jacket that keeps those sprouts underneath? Soon that coat will be soft, dreamily beautiful with golden furs peeking through. Hello world! We are beautiful!

Like making a scrumptious cake, he is worth the wait, the love poured in and the time. Will he be an angel food cake, a spice cake or red velvet cake?? All are delicious. He is delicious ✨🌭✨

What we know now is that he has two tick diseases and that he has an absolutely horrendous ear infection. Bloodwork is being done, and because we were told he was hit by a car recently, as in the other day and because of his age x-rays are going to be taken.

✨He would humbly love it if somebody honored him with a name via a $100 donation that goes to his medical. ❤️‍🩹 He would love to have a Naming Angel. 💝 He hasn’t felt like he has belonged for so long and it would be such a nice beautiful feeling for him to curl up in.

Giant thank you to his first buddy, Michelle Espino and her hubby who advocated for him and went to get him. Thank to their friend who contacted her about him. Thank you to @valqui74 and the team at @goumao10 for being on standby and are helping him. @paupepper and @marlenepalomaresr. At the moment he is hospitalized.

Challenges of measuring a goofy Dachshund who used to be a Street Dog. Details: 16" long, tail is 9" and Prof. Stanley stands 10.75" up to his shoulders. Thanks Hilda!

He's gained weight up to a healthy set of pounds, is saying adios to tick diseases and we hope his liver is peachy keen. Bloodwork is coming up so we shall see! He's already neutered and vaccinated!

We took care of his medical and he will soon go to the wonderful Dachshund rescue, @dachshundsandfriendsrescue in southern Calif!

UPDATE! His new name is Prof. Lincoln! Thank you sweet @leahmasterson23 for honoring him and helping him too via your gift and giving him a name! ✨🐕✨ Before: He still is hoping for a kind person to become his Naming Angel. Honor him with a name via a beautiful and powerful $100 donation. That gift goes to his medical care.

He is 8 years old and has few teeth. His bloodwork is crappy, but he is still wagging his tail and eating! There is hope for him and he will nevaaaa be alone again.
