the NEW ZAPP Center to Open Soon!

The ZAPP CENTER will be open
In NO TIME at all!

We have located and are purchasing 7.4 acres just two miles off the highway, north of the Arches; the title is clear, water and electricity are handled, and we are about to open the ZAPP Center for Adoptions, Rehabilition and Rescue. We will have an open door policy for dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, and our main goal is to get all these animals off the streets, and out of jeopardy! Many will be transitioned to shelter and rescue facilities in California where they will find permanent loving homes; some geriatrics will live out there lives at the ZAPP Center in our Assisted Living Section, and the rest will go to a sister end of life sanctuary in southern California, where I’m sure they will think that they’ve hit the lottery when they see their new digs!

We’re very excited about the new facility, and look forward to being able to work with local San Felipe residents in a community effort to provide care and solace to all dogs and cats that need protection and help.

Dr Antonio Solis will continue to work with ZAPP. Not sure yet if we will do surgeries at the Center initially, or continue to work thru his office in town, or maybe both. We will also have a Vet Tech/Nurse on Staff, and are also planning to run a Board and Care Section for travelers, with grooming available, as well as 24 hour emergency services, where we can offer critical care for animals in need.

After being involved in humane animal work in San Felipe for the past six years, things have changed a lot. We have noticed a big difference in attitude when it comes to the relationship between pet and owner in Mexico. At ZAPP spay/neuter clinics in San Felipe, Mexicans line up with their pets, because many now see the importance of population control, and also see what ultimately happens to unwanted puppies and kittens who do not get adopted.

Many people among the nearly 4000 I email regularly in the USA tell me that one of main reasons they choose not to visit Mexico, is because they simply cannot handle the lack of respect for animals they witness in the culture. But I assure you, that is changing, especially in areas where groups like ZAPP continue to work hard to improve the quality of life for stray and indigent dogs and cats in Mexico. Animal lovers and advocates applaud Mexicali for choosing the higher road when it comes to humane euthanasia of these precious innocents who did nothing wrong and deserve our respect, both in life and in death.
