Spotlight on Rizzo…

A sympathetic tourist found Rizzo on the beach back in December.

She gave her food and love for the three weeks she was here and was content to leave her on the beach when she returned to her home in Canada.

However, after a beach vendor threatened to kill Rizzo the kind tourist was frantic to find a place for her and brought her to us.

We believe Rizzo is approximately 18 months old. She is beautiful and loved by everyone.

She is a gentle dog and gets along well with the other dogs at the Casita.

We think she is a good fit for any home with other pets or anyone just looking for a wonderful companion animal.

Adoption Report
A good weekend for adoptions! At the library, we found forever homes for three puppies (Riley, Freckles and Flash) and one kitten (Tutti Frutti). And, at the Farmer’s Market, we found a wonderful new home for Chloe (thanks Sally!).

Many thanks to all the volunteers: Irma, Amber, Kelly, Debra, Eileen, Angela, Sandra, Sheila, Lily, Emily, Fernando and our new volunteer Josua.

To see all the animals available for adoption, visit our website (www.spcapv.com or www.spcapv.blogspot.com).

The SPCA PV will continue to host adoption events at both Biblioteca los Mangos and the Farmer’s Market every Saturday from 10am - 2pm.

Biblioteca los Mangos is located on Francisco Villa around the corner from Costco. The Farmer’s Market is being held in Paradise Community Center in Olas Altas.

Special Thanks….

Once again, Debra, our dedicated volunteer donated seven boxes of crayons.

Miranda Reeves donated 1000 peso in lieu of a wedding gift for Cassandra Shaw and Mark McCoy.

WOW! Bonnie Cole of Victoria BC generously donated 100 doses of Frontline for use on the SPCA dogs in our casita.

Acopio Needs Donations
The Acopio is in dire need of donations, mainly in the form of food for the animals but in particular puppy food.

The food can either be dropped off at the Acopio or delivered to Janice Chatterton at Hacienda San Angel located at 336 Miramar Street.

Thanks again to Jovita, who donated another bag of dog food for the Acopio.

Other Chatter…
Bean is receiving lots of congratulations on winning the “Top Dog” contest, including e-mails from admires who come to visit her at Cassandra Shaw jewelry.

It’s been suggested that her boyfriend Coco is a beach bum and she deserves better.
