Amigos de Animales is an Animal Welfare society and No-Kill Shelter, operating in rural Mexico south of Zihuatanejo, in Barra de Potosí, Guerrero. It was founded by Stasya Briggs and Mike Heiner in May 2014 .

WHAT WE DO

We rescue suffering, hurt, abused and dying animals in rural Guerrero in Barra de Potosi and villages around , south of Zihuatanejo and north of Petatlan.

We rehabilitate them and give them home in our shelter until the perfect permanent home is found. If no permanent home is found , we care for them for life. 

​

We educate the public, children and adults in rural Guerrero Mexico about animal care.

​

• we show it’s GREAT to love your pets

• we explain it’s NOBLE  to care for stray animals 

• we teach how to feed and bathe and why to vaccinate and treat for fleas 

• we teach what spay and neuter is and remind to bring pets and all stray animals to our Spay and Neuter clinics

• we send a message that abuse and cruelty and violence are not acceptable, neither by people, nor by God, nor by government, it’s a CRIME and will be punished by Law 

​

​

We organize low cost and free Mass Spay and Neuter clinics and sterilize hundreds of dogs and cats every year.  Over 4000 animals were sterilized at our clinics!
