Wet Noses Rescue

A Second Chance for Every Wet Nose

Wet Noses Rescue is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to providing a safe, compassionate sanctuary for animals in need. We believe every dog and cat deserves the chance to live with dignity, safety, and love, and we strive to make that vision a reality through life-saving care and community support.

Our Story and Our Mission

Founded in Sayulita by two extraordinary women—one American and one Mexican—our organization began as a backyard passion project to help neglected and abused animals. Today, we have blossomed into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and registered Mexican Asociación Civil with two facilities in Punta de Mita, working tirelessly to address homelessness and prevent animal suffering.

How We Help

We operate through a combination of a structured shelter environment and a dedicated foster network, ensuring each animal receives the rehabilitation they need to thrive. Our team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from essential spay/neuter clinics to specialized treatments for rescued animals, while also offering educational opportunities to the local community.

Finding Your Perfect Companion

We take pride in our thoughtful, transparent matching process designed to help you find a lifelong friend who fits your home and lifestyle. Because we prioritize the health and long-term well-being of our animals, our adopters receive thorough support and medical history, ensuring a joyful and seamless transition for your new family member.
