    Meet Beach Dog Rescue

    Hi, we're Heather and Gil, two American ex-pats, now living in Mexico, who started Beach Dog Rescue. A small rescue and sanctuary based in a remote area of Yucatán, we provide care for dogs in need while supporting long-term solutions through spay/neuter programs, community outreach and adoption.

  • Rooted in Yucatán

    Beach Dog Rescue is rooted in the communities of Yucatán, Mexico.

    What began as helping individual dogs has grown into a mission focused on long-term impact through rescue, sanctuary care, spay and neuter initiatives, adoption and community support.

    Our work is about more than finding homes. It's about creating a future where more dogs have the chance to live healthy, safe and loved lives.

  • Every Dog Has a Story

    Lucia

    We rescued Lucia in 2023 from a small village in Yucatán. When we found her, she was in heartbreaking condition and desperately needed help.

    After recovering at the sanctuary, Lucia traveled to New York to start a brand new life. Today, she's thriving with a family who loves her.

    Sol

    Sol was rescued during a rainstorm in Yucatán after being found desperately searching for shelter. With help from our rescue partners, he eventually made his way to the sanctuary, where he received the care and safety he deserved.

    Today, Sol is living in Toronto with a loving family and enjoying the second chance every dog deserves.

    Vaquita

    Vaquita was found abandoned in a vacant lot in Yucatán, left behind with a severely injured leg that had gone untreated for months. Despite everything she had endured, she remained one of the happiest dogs we've ever met.

    After receiving veterinary care and a life-changing leg amputation, she's thriving in Canada and proving that resilience comes in small packages.

  • What Your Support Makes Possible

    Some dogs need medical care. Some need time to heal. Some simply need a safe place to wait for their second chance. Our monthly supporters make that possible.

    By giving monthly, you help provide food, medical care, sanctuary support and emergency rescue assistance throughout the year.

    You may never meet the dogs whose lives you've changed, but they are safe, cared for and loved because people like you chose to help.

  • Sanctuary Life

    A dream years in the making — a 50-acre, off-grid, jungle sanctuary.

    Comfy dog beds, plenty of shade, full tummies and excellent vet care ✅

    Seeing a once-terrified dog doing zoomies or rolling over for belly pets is pure magic. Those are the moments we live for.

  • We aren't just witnessing the problem.

    We're doing something about it.

  • Changing the Future

    Beach Dog Rescue is about more than responding to emergencies.

    While rescue changes individual lives, long-term change comes through prevention, education and community support.

    Through spay and neuter initiatives, medical care, partnerships and outreach, we work to reduce suffering before it starts and create a better future for dogs throughout Yucatán.

    Every surgery, every vaccination and every community partnership helps prevent future suffering.

  • Why People Support Beach Dog Rescue

    Three rescued dogs relaxing comfortably in their adoptive homes.

    I have adopted 3 beautiful dogs from this rescue who would otherwise not have made it. Beach Dog Rescue is run by the most caring, tireless angels who are ready to help at any hour of the day or night. I love them for saving our dogs and for all the others they have helped. They are the BEST!

    Being a flight parent was one of the easiest ways I've ever been able to make a difference. It had little impact on our travel plans, but it meant everything to the four dogs who got their chance to come to Canada.

    Adopting Maria was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The process was smooth, the support was amazing and she has brought endless happiness to my home.
