Nancy Phelan founded the Animal Adoption Center of Rocky Point. After retiring Nancy came to Rocky Point from Phoenix , Arizona and 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 in August of 2002 and began taking in strays. They also have a US non profit Corporation 501(c)3. Contact nancy at:

WE RESCUE ANIMALS IN ARIZONA AND MEXICO
Over 2000 animals have been adopted into loving homes. 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.
Many of these animals come to her sick and injured. .. Sarcoptic Mange, parasites, 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. President Fox after hearing about the raid (under news) 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 provides low cost and free spay/neuter to the poor.
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.
If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain
