Tierra de Animales

Tierra de Animales sanctuary was founded in March 2011 as a refuge for Cancun’s forgotten and abandoned street dogs, or ‘perros callejeros’.

Animals rescued from the streets now have a safe place to call home, and a place to heal from the unfortunate circumstances that left them alone and abandoned. Dogs who once had virtually no chance of survival , those that have been injured and abused, and those who are simply abandoned or born on the streets….now all have a second chance at a better life.

Animals rescued by Tierra de Animales receive immediate medical attention, love and care, and friendship with other dogs who all have similar histories. All of our dogs are sterilized, as we believe it is vital to breaking the cycle of animal homelessness and suffering. Our mission at TdA is to rescue, rehabilitate, sterilize, socialize and adopt our dogs to forever homes.….please join our cause and help us in this important mission.

At Tierra de Animales, we offer plenty of wide open area for the dogs to run and play, outdoor runs for dogs that need to remain kenneled, and separate interior special needs kennels and a bathing area.

Many of the dogs that we rescue are injured and sick, and require much care. Currently we are constructing a large quarantine and admittance area to accommodate all of the dogs that arrive injured and sick…we need your help to complete construction…we are overflowing with dogs that need medical attention and quarantine.

The next phase of construction will be more outdoor ‘living’ areas and an onsite sterilization/health clinic. The founding of TdA has been a enormous labor of love to transform undeveloped jungle land into what we are today, and we are still growing… Tierra de Animales relies solely on personal donations to operate, and we need and ask for your support. Help us give dignity and respect to the lives of these dogs…they only ask for love and a chance to be happy.
