Come visit and volunteer!

Yes, our shelter is currently located in Cancun. Sadly after 25 years of service to Isla Mujeres, the local govt decided to take back the space they had given us and we could no longer afford housing our animals on Isla. But the past is the past.

After a lot of work, we are finally settled in our new shelter, Oasis, a place that no one can take away from the animals that need it the most, a jungle oasis, a place where the dogs are safe, loved, cared for… until they find their forever home!

Having a lot more space, also means having a lot more work, so volunteers are more than welcome! There is always something to do at Isla Animals Oasis!

Volunteers may want to…

  • Help with the animals, there is always a need for socializing puppies, bathing and grooming, cleaning and repairs, loving on the dogs, leash training.
  • During spay/neuter clinics we need help with trapping, check-in and paperwork, recovery, organizing and cleaning, plus pick up and return of animals.
  • You can volunteer whatever amount of time you can afford and you’ll have a vacation experience that will be fun and fulfilling.

    Our new shelter is located in Cancun. Sadly with the local govt evicting us from the space they had given us, we could no longer afford housing our dogs in inadequate spaces that were too expensive on Isla. We continue working there, but our shelter is in Cancun not far from the airport.

    To come visit, please contact us to arrange a day and time, and we can advise on how to get here. Our preferred options are Uber, cheap, and safe and flexible, or our trusted friends at CARM who have been working with us for years! You can make an appointment HERE.
