Nancy Phelan founded the Animal Adoption Center of Rocky Point a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation in Arizona in 2001. On a visit to Rocky Point  she became an advocate for the many street dogs and cats in the city. She single-handly changed the culture for animals in Mexico and received the attention of President Fox with her efforts. Along with friends they formed a non profit Mexican corporation "Rocky Point Animal Adoption Center AC in August of 2002 and began taking in strays.

ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER OF ROCKY POINT HAS SPONSORED SEVERAL FREE SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF PUERTO PENASCO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayor Alejandro Zepeda Munro with Nancy Phelan at ribbon cutting !!! 2010

Our main goal is to work with and help the city of Puerto Penasco conduct spay/neuter clinics free to the poor. Thanks to our new Mayor Alejandro Zapeda Munro we have had several free clinics and performed surgery on over 500 animals in the last 4 months - as of March 30, 2010.  VIVA MEXICO

Our ultimate goal is to have a sanctuary in Northern Arizona - in the Verde Valley where these angels can live out their lives in peace and harmony. No cages,  animals that have their separate yards and a large cat area for the many feral cats that have no future except the streets ,starvation or worse. Many of these angels have been abused and need to have a place to live their lives without fear. I firmly believe that their should be more sanctuaries and fewer shelters. We did adopt all the dogs that were taken to the adoption event on Childrens day April 30, 2010 and I know many found good homes with loving people. I have not stopped crying since Friday thinking about my angels and how I worry and miss them. I kept the more sensitive and abused dogs here at the center. I still have about 45 dogs and at least that many cats here at the center and I am not able to care for additional animals. Please help us realize our dream for a sanctuary as most  of these dogs and cats have been abused and need to be protected .

WE RESCUE ANIMALS IN ARIZONA AND MEXICO

Over 2500 animals have come through the center. The center has 2 large lots .The animals are not kenneled but have fenced yards. A cat house was built with an entrance to an outside screened room . The nursing moms and kittens are cared for in the main center. There are also 2 yards for recovering and/or new animals.We need a new roof on the cat house !

 We have a small center in the Phoenix area and have many puppies for adoption.

Many of these animals come to us sick and injured. .. Sarcoptic Mange, parasites, Cancer, STV's, worms, Parvo, Distemper, Leukemia and suffering from abuse are just a few of the problems.

 Many good things have happened in the last eight years. Our animal friends Suzanne Ross and Charlene Sinclair ,Attorneys from Telluride wrote a letter to President Fox regarding the horrific situation. President Fox after hearing about the raid "Hammer" contacted Hermosillo.  Dr. Vicovich in Hermosillo has overseen the building of an Antirabico center (pound). The city now picks up the stray animals and keeps them for three days for owners to reunite with their pets. The city also has a clinic on site and not only provides low cost and free spay/neuter to the poor but has weekly clinics for free vaccines and medications.

There is also a leash law so all pets should be on a leash or fenced. The city has seen a drastic change in the amount of dogs on the street. They are no longer beaten to death and even though electrocution is legal in Mexico they are using injections to euthanize the animals after three days. A new law has been passed that makes it illegal to abuse an animal and the offender is fined.

Negra - above -is a typical Mexican dog covered with Sarcoptic Mange. She is owned by a local Mexican woman and is being treated for her Mange. We supply dog food and medical treatment for dogs such as Negra.

            

Spike - has an STD which is very common here in Mexico. The locals cannot afford the chemotherapy treatment for their animals. Spike was looked at by a Veterinarian this week and put down humanely. We can get Chemo treatment for these animals for about $50 per shot (3 are reguired for the STD)

Skinny -  was attacked with a machette and treated (and spayed) by the local Veterinarian for her wounds. The fence was repaired so she cannot get loose. Thanks for your donations that helped this precious dog.

At the moment we have over 100 animals at the center.A MONTHLY PLEDGE OF $25 OR MORE WILL HELP FEED AND GIVE MEDICAL CARE TO ONE ANIMAL
