We are sad to announce that today’s car washing event at the Elks Lodge in NE Portland is being moved to a different date. 🥹 major unfortunate circumstances have occurred making the fundraiser not possible today. 🐾 Our paws look forward to planning a new date soon with the Lodge though ❤️

Our paws want to give a special thank you to Yukiko. Our shelter manager and Mexico representative.

Yukiko has been managing our shelter for about five years now and has done an incredible job 🐾 day in and day out she lives on site and cares for over thirty dogs everyday. Luckily her family is nearby and volunteers to help us all the time — just see her grandson in the video!

It’s through all the love and care our pups receive in our shelter that they are able to have such an easy transition to their PNW homes 🐶

So today our paws want to give a huge thank you to Yukiko and her family for always caring for our pups and giving 100% everyday 365/24-7 🥰

Meet Mezzy! This sweet pup is searching for her forever family and needs your help--can you please share this post? 🙏💙

This sweet young girl is an amazing dog and searching for her perfect forever family. She is about 45lbs. and we estimate she was born in early 2022. Originally from Todos Santos, Mexico Mezzy is being fostered in Portland, Oregon now and has learned so many amazing skills since arriving. She cannot wait to find her furever family and spend this fall falling in love with her new family.
Mezzy is the sweetest girl who enjoys making new friends on her daily walks. She is fully house trained and does well in a kennel when her foster family is gone. Currently she spends most of her days with her foster mom and her kiddos, playing in the garden and going on walks. Mezzy is great with kids and even has experience being around children as young as 1 year old. She loves to make new doggie friends and has lived with other dogs before. Mezzy rides well in the car and loves to go on new adventures, and is always down for a long walk or hike with her family. Making new memories and cuddling her people after a fun day of playing is Mezzy's dream life.
Currently this sweet and playful girl is being fostered in Portland, Oregon waiting for her new family to find her. She is avaible for meet and greets anywhere in Oregon or Washington.
All of Saving Baja Paws dogs come with a fantastic foster-to-adopt option. This unique opportunity allows you to ensure that the match between you and the dog is perfect. Whether you're considering fostering or adopting, we'd love to hear from you.
Mezzy's adoption fee for Oregon, Washington, or California is $200USD. This helps us cover most of her vet and care costs and travel costs.
All our pups come fully up to date on shots, are tested for heartworm and other diseases, microchipped, f***l tested, current on flea medications, and also come spayed / neutered.

This evening a storm passed through La Paz flooding many areas of the city. 😭Including our shelter, for the first time in five years of operation. However, it was only the first row of kennels near the entry way luckily. All of our dogs are safe and moved, and a trench was quickly dug. However, more storms are coming this week and our homemade trench will only survive so much rain. ☔️
We have already moved of all the dogs to the main house, however to create a quick alternate space for thirty dogs to live we need supplies. 🔨 We are seeking out tarps, cement blocks, extra sand, and wood.
Our paws estimate we need about $250usd for a supply run in the next twenty four hours. 🐾 Or maybe some local friends in La Paz or the surrounding areas can donate supplies directly to our shelter.

Carlos our local La Paz vet came by the shelter this weekend to see our pups 🐾
We routinely have our dogs checked out to make sure all our pups are happy and healthy during their stay at the shelter😍

In the video above our vet is hanging out with the Cowboy, the brown pup. Cowboy is available for adoption in the PNW or California. He is a super sweet boy who loves attention and going on long walks ❤️

Meet Bingo! This sweet boy was found severely injured in the streets of La Paz, Mexico in Spring of 2026. Bingo has now recovered from all his injuries and is in Portland, Oregon waiting for his perfect family to find him. We estimate this sweet boy was born in late 2024 or early 2025 and he currently weighs around 17 pounds. Bingo spent a few months at the shelter before heading to the PNW to find his forever home.

Our sweet Bingo was barley alive when we found him and his sister in the streets of La Paz earlier this spring. Bingo's eye needed removal and he had some wounds that needed care as well. After spending months recovering Bingo was cleared to travel to the Portland to find his new people. During recovery Bingo interacted with children, cats, and dogs of all sizes. During his stay in the PNW Bingo has learned a lot of house manners, he is house trained as well as kennel trained. He loves to play all day with other dogs, and we do not think a home with older pets who are easily annoyed would be a great fit. However, a family with cats, children, and activity would be the perfect fit for Bingo! He would also be a perfect fit for anyone who loves to walk a lot or wants a hiking buddy. This sweet boy has no long term medical issues, and has never let only having one eye slow him down. Bingo is a loving pup who is easily introduced to people and dogs, and he loves to cuddle on the couch with his foster mom. This playful boy is patiently waiting for his family to find him, and he is avaible for meet and greets in Portland, Oregon.

All of Saving Baja Paws dogs come with a fantastic flexible foster-to-adopt option. This is a unique opportunity that allows your family to make sure it a perfect match with your new pup.

Bingo's adoption fee for Oregon, Washington, or California is $450USD. This helps us cover some of his vet and care costs incurred in Mexico, and the transport fee to bring our pups over 1,500 miles to the PNW. All our dogs come spay or neutered, with all theirs shots for the year, and have had multiple blood tests done prior to entering the USA from Mexico.

Who remembers Zoey??? 🐕
She is our NYE puppy from 2024! She was tossed over the fence of our shelter the evening of NYE at just two months old. A few months later she was adopted in Bend, Oregon and has been living her best PNW since. 😍
Due to unfortunate circumstances with her adoptive family Zoey has returned to us and is seeking out a foster family. 🐾 She is friendly with other dogs big and small, kennel trained, house trained, and great with meeting new hooman friends ♥️ Zoey does struggle a bit with on the leash but she is working with our director and cannot wait to overcome her fears on leash and gain more confidence! 🙌

Zoey is seeking a long term foster in the PNW or California 🙏 our paws will supply you with food, toys, a GPS, and whatever else you need to make her stay comfortable. 🥰
