International work

Puca's Packs spent 3 exhausting and rewarding months helping Raincoast Dog Rescue to make a life-changing impact for 300 dogs and cats who found their way to Canada from Afghanistan. We dedicated our time to these animals so they could live their best lives. We helped provided these dogs and cats with a safe haven, nurturing their physical and emotional well-being. Through patient training and compassionate care, we've helped them adapt to their new lives, offering a ray of hope after the challenges they faced in Afghanistan. The collaboration between Raincoast Dog Rescue, SPCA International, War Paws, Marleys Mutts and countless volunteers showcases the power of compassion and teamwork, to provide a brighter future for these animals. With your continued support, we strive to extend our reach, ensuring that even more animals find love, care, and a forever home.

In a remarkable display of unwavering dedication, Xicalli embarked on a mission of compassion when crisis struck Ukraine. When the war broke out, she joined forces with the incredible organization "Breaking the Chains" to bring aid to the forgotten victims of the conflict - the animals. For three months, she ventured into the heart of uncertainty, risking her safety to rescue and protect the innocent animals caught in the crossfire. Amidst the chaos, the team was able to provided animals with vital medical care, nourishment, and a glimmer of hope for a better future. This courageous endeavor exemplifies our commitment to animals in the most dire circumstances, demonstrating that even in the midst of turmoil, compassion knows no boundaries. Your support is what made this mission possible, and together, we continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most. Breaking the Chains continues their incredible work in Ukraine and has ventured into countless countries to provide aid when needed including Turkey and Thailand.

During an unforgettable month in Romania, our founder, Xicalli Boles, had the incredible opportunity to care for 97 animals rescued by War Paws and Animal Bus. These organizations opened their hearts and doors to dogs rescued from the conflict-ridden regions of Ukraine, offering them a second chance at life. Operating an animal shelter for these resilient dogs was no easy feat, but being part of their mission was a privilege. The dedicated staff and volunteers at this shelter work tirelessly to ensure the dogs' well-being, providing a safe haven, medical care, and the love they so deeply deserve. Xicalli was honored to work with each dog daily, witnessing their miraculous transformation from survivors to beloved pets.

This month-long venture in Romania epitomizes our unwavering commitment to giving animals a brighter future, regardless of their origins. With everyone's support, we continue to extend our reach, providing hope to those who need it most, one loving paw at a time.
