Visit

Located in La Penita (Nayarit), Mexico, on the hilltop.  We are open to the public for visits during the tourist season on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 9-11am.  Come for a tour, meet the animals; walk dogs, cuddle cats, and/or volunteer in other ways.  Minimum suggested donation is 100 pesos. 

Chances are you will come across an animal on the beach or on the street that appears to need rescuing.  How do domestic animals live in this area, and what can you do when you are faced with a desire to help?  Learn more . . . 

George and Loretta are personally responsible for the lion's share of costs and energy for animal and facility care (beginning in 2012 until present). Your help goes a long way towards sustainability and is so appreciated!  There are many ways to give, and all ways make a difference.  Learn more . . . 

Los Compadres is a beautifully designed building on the hill overlooking La Penita and the ocean on one side, and scenic mountains on the other side.  There are several apartments for rent by the month. Learn more . . .
