It's quite a ways inland from PdC, but the name the place you want is Tierra de Animales.
http://www.tierradeanimales.org/
You can email them and request info.
helpmexicandogs@hotmail.com
By the way, I'm considering adopting or fostering a dog. Can someone detail that whole process again, including the transportation back to Texas?

As far as dog selection, I need someone that is as close to a pure bred lab as possible. I'm in contact with Tierra and we'll see what they have.

No worries - they have so many to choose from! I'm sure you will find exactly what you are looking for.

I know I sound very picky about which dog I choose, but this dog would dnot be for me. It would be for out rescue program. When people go to our website, they don't want to see any white marks on the chest. They don't want skinny heads. They want that very typical black lab, yellow lab, choco lab look and feel. If it were just for me, I would just go pick out the most loving one I could find.

As a dog "placer", do you find the fact that a dog is from Mexico, an attractive "novelty". Or is it the same as if the dog is from right down the street?

I haven't placed any dogs but I have found that people become very interested in my two Mexi-mutts because they don't look like what people expect a Mexican street dog to look like. People are super-impressed with my male pointer dog's exceptionally polite manners and demeanor. Its mostly his personality, though he is very well trained in obedience, rally and agility. More than one person has suggested he is actually British because he is so regal and reserved!
Once people hear how awful the conditions are for Mexican street dogs, they are more apt to be interested in them. And it seems that ANY rescue adoption is in vogue now, which isn't a bad thing! People that rescue have big hearts, no matter the circumstances of the rescue. <3
