The Choice

So angry was the Creator over man's mistreatment of animals that He drew a line with His finger upon the ground. On one side were the Beasts and on the other were the People. The line grew so deep and so wide that neither side could be near the other ever again. But at the very last moment, Dog jumped over, to remain forever at Man's side.

Another Méxican Pup Finds Home North of the Border!

Wanted to share another adoption story. Hope Gary (aka Duck) doesn't mind that I stole it from the Peanut site! We met Gary and Deb at the doggie wash on Saturday November 28th. Once again, you'll notice it was the man in the relationship responsible for bringing this pup home! Our men are suckers for a cute face! Much love to little Taco, Gary & Deb. We are thrilled that Peanut adopted 2 babies out to the U.S. that week!

The Taco Story - Gary and Deb


Our recent trip to Playa Del Carmen included a day at the doggie wash on Saturday at the Peanut Shelter.


We didn’t really have any plans to adopt but as soon as I saw this sweet wittle puppy with his two siblings I new he was meant for us !


Now the problem was to convince my wife that we NEEDED this puppy to come home with us as a playmate for our other dog at home back in the states.




I had to come up with a good reason because before we left home we had already decided to do the wash but that by NO means were we adopting a puppy.


Well I devised a plan and with the help of Andy and two days of HARD negotiating we finally convinced her that we needed to help the shelter by giving this sweet baby a new home back in Nebraska !


I had often wondered how hard this entire process would be, getting the necessary paperwork, shots, vets ok that the pet doesn’t have anything wrong that would prevent it from traveling abroad etc. etc. What I came to realize is this.... when Andy says you have NOTHING to worry about and that he would take care of all of that he means exactly that ! We didn’t have to do a thing, Andy took care of everything and we were set to go home with our NEW baby ! Andy is even so kind to give you a ride to the airport and walk right up to the check-in counter just to make sure everything goes ok and you are ready to head home, he even let us borrow a carrier to take our baby home !


There was NO problem going through security or customs, they will check your puppies passport papers ( provided by Andy ) at customs when you arrive at your countries entry point and that's it ! This little guy was used to 90 degree weather so once we got home to temps of 25 degrees "F" he was not really "thrilled" but he's doing just fine ! "Taco" is only 8 weeks old so we are in the process of "potty training" him and he is doing amazingly well !! We purchased a sweater for him to wear outside in the cold weather and he looks absolutely adorable and funny at the same time !

The whole process is such a breeze.... the ONLY thing we had to do was to call the airline and make a reservation for Taco everything else is done FOR YOU by Andy !


Thank You Andy and Jen ! Our wittle Taco is doing just fine !
