Fire

Big fire up close to the Ranch. Any news?

Soooooo no one is paying any attention to the fire up by the ranch dog shelter?

They got the dogs evacuated. I think I read the fire came within 10 meters.  Some people fostered some. They have a water pipe broken they hope to get fixed tomorrow. Scruffy’s Doggie Oasis took in some and need help tomorrow with clean up and walking the dogs.

The Ranch posted this on Facebook:

Yikes! It happened again! We were forced to evacuate The Ranch due to a fire. This one was within 10 meters of our dogs' runs. I think all of us were too tired to take videos or photos! All our dogs are in safe places - many went back to Jena's Clicker Pets Mexico new training facility. Some went to Flower's Stray Dogs of Mexico. Great local rescuers and dog lovers with the hugest hearts ever! A lot of our dogs went into temporary foster care - thanks to all those folks who showed up at The Ranch asking how they can help. We are blessed!

Dulce and Manuel bravely worked along side the firefighters - as did our volunteer Nacho. Arely was busy empty kennels before the rest of us even arrived.

The Ranch's water line was destroyed in the fire. Our staff will be busy repairing it tomorrow and it will be difficult to bring our dogs back until we have water for them.

Many have asked how they can help. Well, here's how. If you have some free time, could you help Jena and Flower with clean up and feeding of these dogs tomorrow? They both took on many extra dogs. Jena's new training facility is located next to Lucky Dog and BoneVoyage, west of Chapala. Jena would like to start early if possible between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Flor's facility is just south of Ixtluachan and she starts her day about 9:00. Maybe we can set up a car pool? I'm happy to coordinate - but not until I get some sleep.

There are a lot of exhausted Ranch hands tonight....hoping we all get a good sleep!
