| JADE VINE - RESEMBLING CHANDELIERS FROM ANOTHER WORLD |
Away
for eighteen days visiting my family in San Francisco and Honolulu, I have been spending many hours at my desk catching
up with PEACEAnimals work. I did take a
few hours to take a friend visiting from Buenos Aires to the gorgeous botanical
gardens. Leaving sea level and about a forty
minute drive south of Vallarta and just past Las Juntas y Los Veranos, the air is cooler in the foothills of the
Sierra Madres. Below the bougainvillea-adorned
building that houses a nice boutique and restaurant/bar, a river rushes over grey
rocks down to the bay. The gardens
continue to expand and a lovely collection of orchids and other plants are
available for purchase.

Cruz and the high number of volunteers, sometimes as many as ten. |

NICE PLUG FOR
VACATION VOLUNTEERING IN THE OREGONIAN:
RESCUED AND NEED HOMES: “Daisy aka Cheeta.”
“Amelia,” a young female dog who suffered
fractures to her leg approximately a month ago.
Because of this, her owners discarded her. Found on the street, an animal lover took her to Dr. Peña´s for
tests and treatments. Amelia was
diagnosed with anaplasma and erlichia, which 90% of the street dogs in Vallarta
have. She is beginning to walk and is
recovering at the home of her rescuer.
Amelia needs a permanent home.
Please contact me.

| "AMELIA" DISCARDED AND RESCUED. NEEDS HOME. |
RESCUED: “Lupita,” a senior citizen female mixed-breed dogwhom Malke Sekey and her husband Steve Oseas had seen for a few years in the Marina when they visited Vallarta. They had watched her deterioration, but had been unable to catch her. Malka contacted Brischa Borchgrevink, PEACEAnimals board member, who went to Dr. Peña´s for sedatives. After pills were crushed and mixed with water and chicken, Brischa met Malka and Steve at the Marina, where they soon found Lupita. The mixture was put placed on the sidewalk, where the hungry dog gobbled it down. Thirty minutes later, she was unable to stand up.

NOTE: Malka and Steve, who donated $1,500 USD for a
clinic, suggested dog lovers ask local restaurants and shops, etc. to put out water bowls in front of their
place of business. There are thirsty
homeless dogs and owned dogs on many sidewalks and streets here. Malka asked Rock and Roll Diner in the Marina
if they would be willing to do this and the owner quickly agreed. I made a request to Gabriela Rojas of Terán
Rojas & Associates,
the excellent accounting firm in the Marina with whom PEACEAnimals does
business. Gabriela sent back an
immediate “yes.” Water bowls in front of restaurants and shops
in the U.S. are commonplace and create goodwill and build business. Please
ask the appropriate places to help.
NEED
RESCUING: Thousands of cats and dogs
living on the streets and dozens of cats
and dogs at the Acopio, the no-kill pound. The Centro de Acopio is open
Monday-Saturday from 8 AM-2 PM. Telephone number is 293-3690. For
