Patitas Gigantes Foundation

You can’t help them all, but you can choose one.

I love animals. I believe there’s something in this world that moves your heart and soul to serve, and for me it’s dogs. Patitas Gigantes is my way of giving back to the universe a little of what it has given me.

Rescue stories

Martina

My first rescue

She had ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne disease that’s very common here. Helping a dog in that state takes a lot of vet bills, time and effort, and then you have to find her a good family. Hers was in Querétaro, so I flew her there myself.

Pancho and Manchitas stayed with me.

Pancho

He was tied up guarding chickens, malnourished and covered in ticks.

Manchitas

You could count her ribs when I met her in a small town in San Luis.

The most important thing is to spay and neuter.

A female dog on the street goes into heat and can have eight or ten puppies, and the cycle never ends. That’s why I support foundations that run spay and neuter campaigns on the outskirts of Cancún and in small towns with no vet nearby.

How you can help

  • Spay and neuter Your own dogs, and support spay and neuter campaigns in local communities.
  • Bring dog food Buy bags of dog food for shelters.
  • Visit a shelter Go bathe the dogs and spend time with them.
  • Go to an adoption fair Seeing a dog in a photo is nothing like meeting one in person. They also need volunteers to share information and look after the dogs.
