Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – With the new Animal Adoption website now live, the Puerto Vallarta Municipal Government is taking a practical step to strengthen local animal welfare efforts. By bringing adoption information into one easy-to-use online space, the city seeks to increase successful adoptions and reduce overcrowding at the Centro de Acopio Animal, allowing each animal to receive more focused care and attention.
The platform features profiles, photos, and personal stories of animals currently housed at the municipal shelter. These profiles help potential adopters learn how each dog or cat arrived at the center, whether through rescue, abandonment, or other circumstances, before completing an online adoption application.
The administration of Luis Munguía González encourages the public to explore the site at bienestaranimal.puertovallarta.gob.mx. The digital hub modernizes adoption and volunteer processes while offering clear information about companion animals under the care of the Animal Control and Health Center.
Operated by the Animal Welfare Department and led by Roberto Ornelas, the website will soon include a complete profile for each sheltered animal, including their name, photograph, and background. This approach helps residents make informed, responsible decisions when choosing to adopt.
In addition to adoptions, the site allows users to register as volunteers and provides guidance on responsible pet ownership. Volunteer roles range from walking and socializing animals to helping with shelter upkeep and adoption events. Future updates are expected to add appointment scheduling, reporting tools, and information related to public health initiatives, further strengthening animal welfare efforts in Puerto Vallarta.
City officials say the new platform reflects a broader commitment to responsible pet ownership and community involvement. By making it easier to adopt, volunteer, and learn about animals in need, the website supports humane solutions that benefit both pets and residents, while helping more dogs and cats in Puerto Vallarta find safe, permanent homes.
