Thank you Mina!!!


After nearly 20 years of dedicated service to ADLA, Treasurer Mina Hardy has decided to retire from the Board of Directors.

It should be pointed out that Mina was one of the original cast members of ADLA and a signor on the original purchase documents for the Shelter building.

She recently sent us photos of the original building which we wanted to share with our readers.  It is noteworthy that at that time (approximately 1997) the road in front of the Shelter was not paved.  A lot has happened since that photo was taken.

Notice also the announcement in the newspaper that she included for us.  You will see a young handsome couple in the front row that bears a striking resemblance to Mina and husband Medico Rafael.  

Enjoy this small bit of nostalgia and THANK YOU  to Mina for sharing these memories with us.

LOOKING FOR BOARD OFFICERS


AMIGOS DE LOS ANIMALES LOOKING FOR BOARD OFFICERS

In November  2014 Board President, Billie Losciale and Vice President, Pete Betlem announced their resignations effective March 31, 2015.  On March 5, 2015 Treasurer, Mina Hardy also announced her resignation.

President Losciale and Vice President Betlem also announced their intention to remain on the Board of Directors as vocals.

Both Billie and Pete expressed how much they have enjoyed their Board positions and  are proud of their respective accomplishments during their time in office but feel that due to age and length of service it is now time for younger folks to step up and take the reigns.  New energy and new ideas will help keep Amigos de los Animales a safe haven for Mazatlan's unwanted street animals.  It is hoped that new, invigorated leadership will bring the Shelter to even higher standards of care and expertise.

If you feel that you are interested in one of these positions (President, Vice President or Treasurer) please write a letter of introduction and deliver it to Amigos de Los Animales, Attention:  Billie Losciale or Pete Betlem.  Our address is:

Amigos de los Animales
Bicentenario Juarez #3
Col. Francisco Villa
Mazatlan

Our hours of operation are: 11 am to 2 pm  and 3 pm to 6 pm Monday - Friday and Saturday  11 am to 3 pm.

The Board of Directors will review all applications and announce their selections at the appropriate time.

In filling these positions the Board of Directors will consider qualifications that include some or all of the following:

  • A documented love and knowledge of animals
  • Business experience and the ability to make important decisions
  • Knowledge of record keeping, particularly financial accounting
  • Ability to work harmoniously with others
  • Full time residents - especially important in the summer when volunteers are scarce
  • Ability to spend time at the shelter - a minimum of one day a week.

Thank you for your interest

Do YOU recognize this dog?


Sweet little dog found running down Hwy 15 by the Walmart Marina on Friday Feb. 27. He is wearing a green harness and dragging a leash. Is anyone looking for him? Send me a facebook message or for English call Donna at cell # 669-933-0258. For Spanish 669-134-9575. He is at the animal sanctuary but I can describe him and give details. I can also go get him or take them to him if they don't have transportation
