Sponsorship Program FAQ's We are delighted that you are considering sponsoring a dog with The Sula Society. Your compassion means so much to all our shelter dogs. Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about sponsorship. Why Sponsor? We all know we cannot adopt every animal that pull on our heartstrings, but we can still make a profound difference on dogs in need. Our dog sponsorship program allows you to make a donation that will support our recused dogs. Many of our dogs have veterinary expenses that exceed the amount of their adoption fees. Your contribution will assist in offsetting these expenditures and ensure that we can continue to save more dogs going forward. What is a Sponsorship? A sponsorship is a recurring donation made in honor of a Sula Society dog. What does my sponsorship do toward? Sponsorship donations support the work of The Sula Society. Your donation helps with medical treatment, rehabilitation, training, food, and other costs that are directly associated with the care of your sponsor dog. Which dog can I sponsor? Visit our website or Facebook page, all our dogs are available to be sponsored, you can choose any dog! Will anyone else sponsor my dog? People can choose to sponsor the same dog as you – some may need more help than others. Can I sponsor more than one dog? You can sponsor as much, or as little, as you like, every donation helps! I want an update about my sponsored dog. Is that possible? Because our caregivers are very busy providing daily care and enrichment for over 200 dogs at the shelter on any given day, they are not able to provide updates on demand for sponsored dogs. Can I help my sponsorship dog get adopted? Yes! Sharing your dog’s story and helping them find a home is one of the best things you can do for a sponsored dog. Sharing their profile and any social media posts is a great idea. What do sponsors receive? When you become a Sula Society sponsor you receive a thank you email which includes a photo of your dog. In addition to this, for recurring sponsorships we try to keep you updated to your sponsor dog and share their progress and triumphs. And best of all we will tell you when we have found them their forever home! If my sponsorship dog is adopted, can I talk to the family who adopted them/can I get updates? The adopter may want privacy. However, we do sometimes get their permission to share their stories on Facebook. A great way to connect is our Facebook group Friends of Sula. What do you get out of sponsoring? Even though you are not adopting, you still receive the joy of knowing you helped provide care for an dog(s) you choose to sponsor. Because of generous people like you, The Sula Society continues to save dogs that may otherwise be euthanized, neglected, or abused.

Nuestra historia Nuestra historia En 2017, el equipo de rescate de perros madre e hija, Barbara y Lisa, se mudaron de Inglaterra para disfrutar del increíble estilo de vida y la belleza que Puerto Vallarta tiene para ofrecer. Lo último que tenían en mente era administrar un gran refugio para perros y coordinar las adopciones internacionales. Sin embargo, ¡la vida tenía otros planes! Después de mudarse a Puerto Vallarta y ver a tantos perros que enfrentaban una negligencia horrenda, problemas médicos y lesiones causadas por la vida en las calles o en manos de dueños negligentes, sabían que tenían que hacer algo. Barbara y Lisa se dieron cuenta de que la gran cantidad de perros y otros animales que necesitaban ayuda requería un poco más de lo que este dúo podía proporcionar por sí solo. Su pasión por ayudar a los animales y acumular facturas veterinarias se convirtió en The Sula Society, que significa 'Salvando animales adorables no amados'. La Sociedad Sula evolucionó a partir de la necesidad de recaudar donaciones y se unieron a Dogs for Life para hacer posible su nuevo sueño de tener un gran refugio y un complejo. El 26 de octubre de 2020, su visión se hizo realidad cuando se mudaron a su nuevo refugio. Este enorme recinto amurallado cuenta con dependencias, un enorme césped, un área de agilidad e incluso un río que lo atraviesa para que los perros naden. Su visión del refugio es un espacio acogedor para que sus perros de rescate se descompriman, rehabiliten y sean amados mientras esperan a que sus familias furrever los encuentren. En febrero de 2021, el extraordinario entrenador de perros, Roy, se unió al equipo de Sula. Roy introdujo un programa de agilidad, caminatas en manada e incluso paseos en bicicleta. También les enseña a los perros el entrenamiento básico, el recuerdo y la socialización para darles el mejor comienzo en sus hogares furrever. La Sociedad Sula es una nueva generación de refugios donde no basta con crear un entorno para que sus rescates sobrevivan, ¡sino que también prosperen! El refugio siempre está lleno de voluntarios y caras amigables para que los perros interactúen y se sientan amados mientras esperan ser adoptados. Nuestros perros no solo son adoptados localmente. Volamos nuestros rescates a varios lugares, incluido Canadá en los EE. UU., Para proporcionar a nuestros rescates los mejores hogares posibles. La Sociedad Sula está en constante evolución para satisfacer las necesidades de la comunidad, incluido el alcance educativo y la provisión de fondos para familias de bajos ingresos en Puerto Vallarta para que mantengan a los perros que aman mientras les brindan la atención veterinaria que necesitan. Este acercamiento es esencial para dar forma al futuro de los perros en Puerto Vallarta. En The Sula Society somos 100% voluntarios y dependemos de donaciones, subvenciones y legados. Sin nuestro comprometido equipo de voluntarios, ángeles voladores y donaciones de personas de todo el mundo, no podríamos continuar nuestro trabajo rescatando a los animales necesitados de Puerto Vallarta. Nuestra gente Lisa (cofundadora) Después de mudarse del Reino Unido a Puerto Vallarta en 2017, esta amante de los animales supo que tenía que hacer algo después de ver a un perro tras otro abandonados en la calle en condiciones deplorables, abandonados para sufrir. Lisa ha atendido la llamada y no miró hacia atrás. Ha dedicado su vida a rescatar a estos perros que sufren y a brindar asistencia comunitaria para ayudar a brindar atención veterinaria asequible a los residentes de las comunidades locales. Barbara (cofundadora) La mitad de este dúo madre-hija-perro-salvador es Barbara (mamá). Barbara se mudó del Reino Unido a Puerto Vallarta para disfrutar de la vida jubilada. Pero la relajante jubilación llegó a un final rápido cuando Bárbara y Lisa descubrieron las deplorables condiciones en las que vivían muchos de los perros de Puerto Vallarta. Incluso en casa, Bárbara siempre está cuidando a nuestros perros SULA y muchos toman descansos para refugiarse o se recuperan en su propia casa. Roy (entrenador) No podemos decir lo suficiente sobre nuestro extraordinario entrenador: ¡Roy! Roy ha estado con nosotros desde febrero de 2021. Trabaja con nuestros perros para evaluar su comportamiento para que podamos proporcionar las mejores descripciones posibles y asegurarnos de que nuestros perros tengan el mejor comienzo en sus hogares furrever. Roy lleva a nuestros perros a través del entrenamiento regular, el recuerdo, los comandos básicos, la agilidad y la socialización de la manada. Los refugios no tienen por qué ser un lugar triste y gracias a Roy, nuestros perros SULA se mantienen felices y estimulados con paseos en manada, natación, agilidad y mucho más.

Cuentos felices Sabemos que dar el salto para adoptar un perro a nivel internacional puede ser bastante aterrador. ¡Pensamos que le gustaría saber de nuestros adoptantes! Walter & Billyard Family Hi guys! Walter ( Dale) here. I’ve been in Canada for almost a month now, and I am having the TIME OF MY LIFE! My Mom and Dad do so many cool things with me, we get to go for drives and I even got to go into the mountains looking for my very first Christmas tree! I had my very first wiener roast that day and it was sooooo much fun, I played really hard! I went to my very first garage party and really like eggnog! I’ve gotten to have a meet and greet with my vets Krista and Michelle, they are super nice. My groomer Sue says I’m the bestest boy, and gave me my very first groom for free because I’m a rescue, how awesome is that?! I have a 6 yr old brother Moose ( Jack Russell) who I’m best friends with, and a 12 year old brother Tig ( Siamese) who tolerates me, because I’m pretty decent at leaving him alone for the most part, sometimes we all get the zoomies together and my mom laughs and laughs! So far there hasn’t been much snow, but what I’ve seen I don’t mind so much. I went to doggy daycare while my mommy was on night shift, but mommy thinks I can handle staying in bed with her, because I looked after her really good when she was sick( which also led to me being able to sleep in the people bed at night because I’m such a good boy) As of today ( Nov 28) I’m four days accident free and I even ring the bell to go out to pee pee now. Mom found one of my teeth the other day when she was sweeping, and I think she’s crazy enough to keep it. Anyways, thank you Sula for finding me this family, I am loved beyond measure, and when the time comes that our family is going to add another pup to the pack ( unfortunately when my brother is old and crosses the bridge) they have made a promise to me that they will bring home another good boy from SULA! Sula & Matt Baird Happy Rescueversary to my beautiful little girl Sula! She's such a beautiful soul. I'm truly grateful to The Sula Society, Lisa Santos , Barbara Pearsey , Emilio Fuoco, Jana VanDuin , and Cat Gallant for rescuing, fostering and helping get this pup to me for adoption! She's absolutely amazing and is definitely getting spoiled today!!!🐶🎂❤❤ Chester & Family Last night was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a rescue pup. We drove to Calgary airport to pick up our new addition, Chester from a beautiful flight Angel who brought him to us from a rescue society in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We got home at 2:30am with this bundle of joy. He is settling in well. The girls adore him. Those of you who know me well know my heart for rescue dogs. In reality, they rescue us. I highly recommend and can’t say enough about this incredible society The Sula Society and Barbara Pearsey . I thank them for their dedication, love and for speaking for those animals who cannot speak for themselves. They deserve all the love. Welcome home, Chester. You are truly home. Mazi-Moo & Family Mazi Moo you came into our worlds when our hearts were broken and you brought laughter and healing to us. We love you so much! You are the best big sister to Cannon. The best little sister to Lexi and the world champion cuddler for Kyle and I. We cannot believe it’s only been 3 months - it feels like you have just always been here cuz you just fit so well into our home. We love you sweet girl ❤ Winston & Family Great rescue to work with!!! Thank you Lisa for all the time you spent getting everything arranged to get Winston to us. We are so thankful you chose us to be his forever home. He’s the best (and so very handsome too)! Blanco & Family My partner and I adopted our sweet Blanco from the Sula society! Two of my friends adopted siblings from his litter as well! They have been wonderful people to deal with! Doing there best to save as many dogs as possible! They have grown so quickly and any support helps them immensely. With all the Covid restrictions and rules they fought to get our pup home! He’s been with us for ten days now and we couldn’t be happier! He is the most perfect addition to our family. Our gratitude for this wonderful organization is limitless!

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 organisations helps provide an environment that ensures the many tourists, that 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 now houses around 250-300 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 many kind donations we receive from 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. To support these we are introducing "Operation Sponsorships", sponsorship options that allow you to decide where you would like to support us. We have tried to offer a board range so you can slect based on your budget OR your passion. The following are the initial sponsorship options “Dog of the day ”, every Monday to Thursday. Advertising one of many dogs available for adoption, most of whom get adopted on the day. “Friday Flicker ”, every Friday. Advertising a dog that is normally overlooked because they are not small and cute, they are not a certain breed, etc. “Saturday Senior ”, every Saturday. Advertising our older generation of dogs, again dogs that are not easy to get adopted but deserve their own family to be loved and give love to…. “Sunday Specials ”, every Sunday. Advertising dogs that present a special need, animals with special needs, animals with unique circumstances….

What are the visiting hours for adoption viewing Due to the amount of dogs and limited staff at the shelter , when you have an approved application the SULA shelter hours are: Tuesday 1-3 pm Friday 1-3 pm Saturday 1-3 pm We look forward to findind your new familly member. Are the dogs trained? Our rescues come from a variety of circumstances so their training varies. Our dog trainer assesses new dogs to provide an accurate behavioural assessment and works with the dogs until adopted on basic training, recall and socialisation. He also does agility with the dogs, pack walks and sometimes even bike rides! If you have any questions about a specific dog please don't hesitate to reach out. Where do your dogs come from? Our dogs are rescued from dire situations, some come to us as strays and others come from owner/family surrenders. Follow us on facebook to see our rescue stories. Do you have volunteer opportunities? Yes! We have lots of opportunities for volunteers both at the shelter, for fostering and fundraising for those of you abroad! Check out our volunteer opportunity page for more information. What does the adoption fee cover? Our adoption fees cover the cost of one flight and vet papers required to travel. If more than one flight is needed then the most expensive flight is included. In addition, they cover all the vet care the dog received before being put up for adoption. All dogs fly with their vaccination record book. Each dog travels in a pet carrier, if you wish to keep the pet carrier then an additional fee of $100 will be charged. We keep our fees as low as we possibly can, however, we are not immune to inflation and the rising cost of living. We have also not shied away from the dogs in dire need, the ones who’s medical costs will never be covered by an adoption fee. Then there are the dogs that we know are unlikely ever to find a home, the reactive dogs, the dogs with ongoing medical needs, and even the dogs that will not be adopted as they are not seen as being small, cute, and cuddly enough. We run on minimal staff, relying on the help of volunteers to keep the costs as low as possible. The dog adoption fee goes towards shelter rent, food, vetting, vaccines, sterilization, medication, gas, crates, bedding, leashes, collars, and flights to Canada. Flight costs have increased sharply of late. This, like all our other costs, we have no control over. We want to stick to our mission, to help as many dogs in need as possible, often we are their only voice. We need adoption fees to help cover some of the running costs of the shelter, without this Sula would cease to be. What does it cost to adopt a dog? The adoption costs are $3,000 MXN for Mexican Nationals, $550 CND Canadian or $400 USD for Temporary or Permanent residents living in Mexico. Adoption costs for dogs adopted in countries other than Mexico are $750 CND or $600 US dollars. Don't forget, wherever you live, to budget for all the other things your new fur-baby will need. What countries will you adopt dogs to? Currently our adoptors are in Mexico, Canada and the USA. Are the dogs assessed before being put up for adoption? When we rescue a dog or take a dog in the first thing we do is have them vet checked. As standard all dogs are checked for fleas, ticks, worms, heart worm, parvo virus, distemper, mange, erlichea, and anaemia. The vet also checks their teeth both for health and for getting an indication of age. We provide treatment as needed but all dogs are given vaccinations (including rabies), teeth cleaning (as needed) and spaying or neutering. We also establish whether they are good with other dogs or kids and some dogs work with a trainer. How will the dog get to me? If local pickup can be arranged. If its a long distance adoption dogs will fly cabin or cargo (depending on size) with either yourself or a volunteer flight angel. How long does it take to process my application? The length of time varies depending on the age of dog, health requirements and travel arrangements. Unfortunately, due to covid the time it is taking to get dogs to their new homes is longer due to flight cancellations, less flights and less passengers.
