Angelitos Sanctuario

Angelitos Sanctuario started when a renowned humanitarian (Amy Gigi Alexander) found herself stranded in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and met an abandoned street puppy (Ositio).

​​That woman went on to save more than 700 dogs out of her 2-bedroom apartment during COVID and hundreds more since moving to our rented property in the country. We call her our resident Bad-Ass.

​​We now house more than 100 dogs, many of them disabled or unadoptable, on our rented property outside of town.

​​Sadly,in Mexico, puppies like Osito are everywhere. Six out of every 10 dogs lives—and dies—in the streets.

​Animals are thrown out of moving cars along the highways. Bags of puppies are found in garbage cans, still alive.

​Dog torture is commonplace, and sterilization is unpopular, forcing endless breeding. We are working to change that and create a culture of humane animal welfare.
