We are a non-profit association that exists to assist animals. Our slogan, "Unidos Por Los Animales" (United for the Animals) says it all. Our mission is to improve the relationship between ourselves, rational human beings, and animals who are all around us. Activities of AFAD include rescuing abandoned or abused animals, healing and sheltering them, and helping them find new and better famiiles.
During the time that the animals are in our shelter, we give them medical treatment in the best possible conditions that we can afford. They are kept off the street and safe from harm. We guard them against worms, ticks and fleas; we feed them and if necessary and possible, we sterlize them. We have agreements with some local vets to help us by giving us discounts for surgeries. We also promote sterilizations and education as the only real solution to end the problem of overpopulation of domestic animals.
We are located in the 4.5 km S/N Antigua carretera on the way to Cholul, in front of the University Modelo, just east of the Periferico.
Normally the shelter has around 50 dogs and 20 cats, but this quantity is variable. If you are looking to adopt a dog or cat, please come visit and meet our animals. They are friendly and loving and by adopting one, you can give a deserving pet a good home!
