Operational Sponsorship

The SULA Society has been working in the local community to help rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome many of the dogs in need of Puerto Vallarta.  Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful town.  The work of the many rescue organizations helps provide an environment that ensures the many tourists, who are the lifeblood of much of the town, are not subjected to often harrowing sights of stray, abandoned, and abused animals.   But you do not need to go too far from the tourist centers…

 

The demand unfortunately continues to grow, The SULA Shelter, the largest in Puerto Vallarta home to an average of 300 dogs.  A mix of puppies and their mums to large breed dogs many of whom will spend their lives in the shelter.

 

We survive thanks to our supporters across the Americas, through donations, fundraising, and sponsorship.    We recognise that many of our supporters are passionate about many aspects of our operations and others would appreciate knowing where their donation money is being spent. We are introducing "Operation Sponsorships", sponsorship options allowing you to decide where you want to help us.   We have tried to offer a board range so you can select based on your budget OR your passion.   The following are the initial sponsorship options, based on the major expense areas of vet care, feeding, staff, and of course the shelter:

​​

Staff, we have a core team of 6 workers who each work 6 days a week from 07:30 to 16:30

• Sponsor a worker for a day - $400 pesos

• Sponsor the groomer for one day - $500 pesos

• Sponsor a worker for a week - $2400 pesos

• Sponsor a worker for a month - $9,600 pesos

Food, we make raw food every single day for our dogs, and this requires a complex supply setup of donations and purchases, in addition we have many mums and pups who need both wet and dry puppy food:
