The Rocky Point Animal Adoption Center was founded by Nancy Phelan. 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 formed a non profit Mexican corporation in August of 2002 and began taking in strays. She also has a US non profit Corporation for tax purposes. She has had as many as 85 animals at any given time. Over 1000 animals have been adopted into loving homes. She has rented a home with 2 large lots - enough to erect 14 separate yards for the dogs. A cat house was built with an entrance to an outside screened room . The nursing moms and kittens are cared for in the main house. There are also 2 yards for recovering and/or new animals.
 Many of these animals come to her sick and injured. There is no testing equipment to see what these animals are suffering from.. Sarcoptic Mange, parasites, worms, Parvo, Distemper, Leukemia are just a few of the problems. A microscope has just arrived at the center and now she can start to isolate and treat the animals.
The center was raided and closed by the city along with another shelter here in Penasco in 2005 - (see story under news). There is no shelter for the animals at this time . Marge Abens continues her work in Las Conchas helping the many animals that are dropped off there. Nancy is working on getting as many dogs and cats out of Mexico and into the United States. Nancy and Carolyn Willits of Tucson are taking as many animals as donations permit to the local Veterinarians for spay/neuter. Nancy is feeding over 200 animals in the city or as much as donations allow.
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
