Kate's Rescue Story

Kate and her sister Ashley were found abandoned in a low-income area of Guadalajara, left to survive on their own with no protection or care. A compassionate woman noticed the sisters wandering near her home and began feeding them daily. She even placed a blanket outside so they would have a warm, safe place to rest.

Knowing they deserved more than life on the streets, she reached out for help—and that's when we stepped in. Together, we rescued both sisters and promised them something they had never known: safety, love, and a real chance at a forever home.

Today, Kate is safe, thriving, and ready for her next chapter with a family who will never abandon her again.Kate is currently waiting in Mexico until a family commits to a 10-day trial adoption
