Description

Meet Stephanie - A Tiny Pup with a Big Heart

Stephanie is a 2-month-old Shih Tzu who came to us from Indiana, and she's ready to start her journey into puppyhood with a loving family by her side. This fluffy little girl is full of curiosity, sweetness, and a spark that's impossible to miss.

Stephanie is just beginning to discover the world-every sound, scent, and step is a brand-new adventure! She's looking for a dedicated family who understands the needs of a growing puppy: patience, consistency, routine, and, of course, lots of love.

While she may be small, Stephanie has a whole lot of spirit. She's eager to learn, play, and become your lifelong companion. Please note that Stephanie does have some medical concerns, so we ask that interested adopters reach out to us with any questions-we're here to help find the perfect match and ensure she gets the care she deserves.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a very special little girl, come meet Stephanie. She's ready for her forever adventure-could it be with you?

  • Mission Statement:

    The life of a homeless dog in Mexico is not only difficult and dangerous, it can be deadly. They are often starving, sick and injured. According to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography, Mexico has the largest number of street dogs in Latin America with around 70 percent of Mexico’s estimated 18 million dogs living on the streets, either born as strays or abandoned by their owners. It’s estimated that 1.2 million stray dogs and cats are living in the streets of Mexico City alone. For the lucky ones that end up in one of the few shelters, the number of people looking to adopt a pet in Mexico is far lower than the amount of animals needing homes. Our mission is to decrease the homeless pet population in Mexico through education and awareness presentations discussing the need to spay and neuter, the direct connection between compassion for animals and compassion for people, as well as arranging transportation, foster homes and adoptions of the animals from our partner rescues in the Cancun area. While the primary focus of Border Tails Rescue is international pet adoptions, our compassion and commitment to animal welfare doesn’t stop at the border, we also are working to help reduce the number of homeless pets locally by accepting owner surrenders.
