I got a summary from AmazonSmile showing my total contributions since I signed up in 2016. My charity of choice is Banderas Bay Charities, Inc., and I'm proud to have generated more than US $1,000 to it, even given the relatively small percentage that Amazon contributes. Just wanted to remind all of you that if you buy through AmazonSmile rather than Amazon or AmazonPrime, you too can automatically contribute to PEACE with every purchase you make. Couldn't be easier to sign up using your Amazon account.
Banderas Bay Charities, Inc supports PEACEAnimals, Amigos de La Cruz and other local charities.

PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Christmas Puppy or Kitten?
by Clare Leach
It is that time a year again, when your child wants a pet for Christmas or maybe you do. Sounds like a good idea, but there are many things to consider. That furry adorable kitten or puppy will grow up fast and become your dog or cat.
Our shelters in Mexico and the United States are overflowing with animals that were once darling puppies or kittens that were surrendered when the owner is too busy to care for their animal.
Yes, being a pet owner is hard at times and a responsibility. Animals need love and attention, a warm place to sleep, vet visits, healthy foods, play time and exercise. It is so sad to me when puppies and kittens end up in shelters because someone didn’t weigh the pros and cons of adopting an animal. Dogs and cats bring great joy but like raising children, some days are not easy or fun. Would you turn your child in for being difficult sometimes? Of course not! Taking on a pet is a long-term commitment and one that can bring many years of great companionship and love to you. Animals love us unconditionally which is why we need to be their protectors and caregivers.
Sometimes here in Mexico and the States, people feel that if they abandon their pets on the streets, they will be OK. NO, they are not ok. They end up sick and hungry or run over and injured. My experience with people here in Mexico is that they are loving and kindhearted. If everyone could understand the need to take care of pets and have them spayed or neutered, getting a puppy or kitten for Christmas would be joyous. There are so many animals here in Vallarta just waiting for FOREVER homes.
Puppy Paradise
Purr Project
Last night Amy and I went to the fundraiser for Puppy Paradise at Yvonneka’s Casa here in Puerto Vallarta. The evening gala raised money and awareness of the need for more help here with sick and injured animals who can be rehabilitated and homed. There were over 100 people enjoying delicious food and entertainment. All the money goes to the dogs. Puppy Paradise rescues dogs only.
It is my hope that anyone who adopts a puppy or kitten this Christmas will be their forever home full of love. Animals can’t take care of themselves, that’s why we call them domestic.
Yvonne Kalman with Clare
PEACEAnimals team is on vacation until Jan 4.
Happy Holidays!

Las clínicas siempre son anticipadas y bien recibidas por los lugareños. Siempre podemos contar con la residente local Cynthia Paz para ayudar a organizar y promover las clínicas. También disfrutamos de los asistentes que siempre están ansiosos por echar una mano con la carga y la configuración, además de quedarse para colaborar donde pueden.

The clinics are always anticipated and well received by the locals. We can always count on local resident Cynthia Paz to help to organize and promote the clinics.
