Have fun with local dogs and help a great cause by participating in the Playa Animal Rescue Spa and Play Day. Occurring every Saturday at 9:30 AM (weather permitting), this event gives you the chance to interact with the dogs from the shelter and have some fun in the process. You can help pamper these friendly canines, play fun games with them and help socialize them during their time at the shelter, while they wait for a new family to take them to a new furever home.
Playa Animal Rescue (PAR) provides transportation to and from the shelter. You can meet them in the parking lot of the Mega Store located on 30th Avenue and Constituyentes at 9:30 AM for this transportation option.
I was surprised when I moved here how many street dogs there are in Playa del Carmen. As an animal lover coming from the US, it was a bit of a shock… I learned about Playa Animal Rescue when I picked up a dog in my neighborhood who was in horrible shape. She was on the verge of starvation and after some much needed food and a few calls, a local friend of mine got in touch with PAR and “Luna,” my first Playa street rescue was on her way to a foster home.
