This week during a visit to Cozumel, Mexico, our team discovered a dog in desperate need of help. Covered in used motor oil and little more than skin and bones, we found him as we were passing through the mangroves – dense, jungle-like swamps – in the remote, south east side of the island. In his mouth was the carcass of an opossum, as he was starving and scavenging for anything to eat.

As we wind down our supporting efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac, I had a chance to talk about our work in detail and to reflect a bit on how this effort is different from previous efforts International Fund for Animal Welfare teams have experienced in the past.

Take a look and as always, many thanks for your support.

Last night we stopped in Greenville, Alabama to rest for the night.

We took the dogs out of our wonderful 36-foot rescue trailer funded by the Petfinder.com Foundation and all the dogs went for walks and were doing really well after such an eventful day!

Earlier, we left the Hancock County Animal Shelter (HCHS) after staff and volunteers wished the dogs well on their journey up north.
