While street dogs can be considered a focus of problems in certain communities, sometimes, instead of examining the causes of the increase in their population, sadly, some governments see the sacrifice as a quick solution.
Extermination is by no means a just solution to the problem of stray animals
In some countries, dogs suffer very unfair treatment from negligent people, people unable to value their life as they deserve.
Many puppies are abandoned on the street, left to fend for themselves even if they are sick or simply because they are older. These are scenes that are repeated daily, unworthy, horrible, painful facts.
21 puppies rescued by MexiPerro A.C. will be adopted by several families in Canada

The Mexican association founded in the state of Puebla, has managed to send about 353 dogs from Mexico to different parts of the world.
Leticia Ramírez, one of the founders, said that in Mexico City alone there are one and a half million dogs in street situations, prisoners of the unfair treatment of their human aggressors. It is known that, in Puebla alone, about 100 dogs are killed every day, 16 thousand per year.
“We started working with canine rescue associations in Germany, but now we are working more with the Canadian groups, as there are several,” explained Ramírez.
The woman, who actively works in defense of animal rights, remembered with nostalgia when her father took her to the area of the trail, where he worked. Since childhood she was familiar with the whining and wailing of these animals before they were vilely slaughtered.
“I think that’s where my love for animals comes from, and I’ve been working in dog rescue for more than 15 years,” Leticia said.
He also spoke about how difficult it has been for the organization to find a stable home for these animals in Mexico. That is why, with the support of various foundations, it was possible to link with Canadian families willing to adopt them and give them a better quality of life.
The association is responsible for making the so-called flight parents, that is: travelers checked in as part of the luggage, in this case, pets. They carry out all the customs formalities and put them on the plane.
After almost five hours of flight in their cages and well warm, the dogs arrived at the Canadian airport where they were received by sister associations of MexiPerro A.C., such as Dogs in Better Spots (DIBS), Safe our Scruff, Canine Heaven, SPCA, K9 CRUSADERS and Fetch & Release.
The rescued furry friends traveled to their new homes in Canada a few days ago. The farewell was not easy for Giovanna, a volunteer from the Puebla association, who lived with the animals for seven months.
He let them go with eyes bathed in tears:
“Even though I know they’ll be better, I won’t see them again,” she sobbed.
Jessica was the first adoptive mom who excitedly came to Toronto International Airport to welcome her new pet“ “Janny”, determined to provide her with a new lease on life and the warmth of a dignified and safe home.
Also Noodle, Harley and Lamby shared with Janny and many other puppies the final flight to freedom.
The 21 puppies finally felt happy and loved

The co-responsibility and multilateral collaboration between countries in favor of the welfare of our companion animals, has a great weight and is of great value to help attack from all sides the vulnerable situation in which many pets are.
It is admirable this feat that has changed the fate of so many puppies that now they will have the opportunity to be happy.
It is a commitment of all of us to fight against the abandonment and unfair treatment received by innocent animals that offer us their infinite loyalty and incomparable love.
