Third Annual Paws for the Cause Announced

Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals will be hosting the third annual Paws for the Cause on Wednesday, March 2, from 6 to 10 pm, at the recently opened Food Truck Park. The event promises an evening of food, fun, music and prizes all for the benefit of local shelter animals. Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals is a support group for Centro de Acopio Animal, otherwise known as the City Pound. The volunteers of this group contribute in various ways, including walking, feeding, and bathing the dogs. Others work in the cattery and clean litter boxes. The organization also helps out with grounds upkeep at times. Their most important goal is socialization of the animals with an aim to make them adoptable.

Centro de Acopio Animal is a government run animal shelter, and the first no-kill shelter in Mexico. The city provides the facility and staff, but has little or no funds for food and medicines. That is where Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals steps in, taking care of the medical bills that accrue due to veterinarian care for critical cases. There are also programs for sending animals to Canada and the U.S.

The Food Truck Park is located at Francisco Medina 2450 (between Puerto de Luna and the carnival). Tickets are 350 pesos and are available at Cassandra Shaw Jewelry, Marsol Hotel Friday Market (9:30 am to 1 pm Fridays), Adriana Riestra Design Interiors (322) 209-2159 or online at www.friendsofpvanimals.com. Tickets will also be available at the entrance to the event.

“Vallarta Lifestyles is really well positioned. We are aware of that because we have seen people who arrive to our jewelry with the issue or the advertising in hand asking about the product that is featured there. This dynamic is really interesting for us and makes us glad.”
Wayne Franklin
President
Tropicasa Realty

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people  —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."
Richard Bartholomew
General Manager
The Agency Punta de Mita

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."
