Yvonneka Foundation

Yvonneka Foundation is a nonprofit rescuing stray and injured dogs in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Through its Puppy Paradise shelter, the foundation provides veterinary care, sterilization, rehabilitation and socialization for dogs that have suffered mistreatment. It also runs community programs, including school education initiatives and food support for stray animals. The foundation partners with organizations in the US and Canada, as well as local qualified adopters, to find rescued dogs permanent homes. As a registered 501(c)(3) charity, donations are tax-deductible in both the USA and Mexico, with all funds going directly toward animal welfare. The foundation also offers a field trip program, letting visitors take shelter dogs out for a day.
