San Miguel de Allende Atención San Miguel, the best information in print and online! June 14
By Gerri Baruch Frida, Cristal, Lucy, Jake, Macy, Tawny…These are some of my best San Miguel friends. All it took to earn their friendship was a little love, patience and a tiny piece of salchicha. I’m a volunteer SPA dog walker, and what I get back from my “friends” is immeasurable. Before volunteering, I was [...]
By Lynn Weisberg We are so pleased and honored that the SPA has been invited to participate in a Country Fair that the parents and friends of La Academia Internacional de San Miguel de Allende is organizing! What could be cuter than kids and kitties? The school has the kids, and we’ll bring the kitties. [...]
By Lynn Weisberg and Joan DiPiero Candy, Mousie, Canela and Nellie are our beginning-of-summer Pets of the Month. Candy and Mousie, each about seven months old, share a common story. Both were adopted from the SPA as cute eight-week-old kittens. After three months in her adoptive home, Candy’s owners’ newly discovered allergies forced them to [...]

By Phylis Collier First, Adopciones de Amigos has to thank our good luck charm, Natalie Golay, who found our new home… the one we have been searching for the last five months! Yesterday as we drove to the location we were all so nervous that this would be another dead end! Yet when they opened [...]
By Joan DiPiero With Mother’s Day arriving this Sunday, we at the SPA, turn our attention to the wonderful mama cats currently in residence. Think of their plight — generously giving of their love and attention, not to mention their nutritious milk, and then, after several weeks, they are abandoned by their once-adoring offspring. We [...]
By Lynn Weisberg and Joan DiPiero Meet Venus and Dipper, our dogs of the month. They are sisters and part of a litter of nine (yes, all named after planets or stars) that were born at the SPA in 2011. They were adopted together shortly after being weaned, but returned a year later when their [...]
As told to Irene Diamant Fiona (female, two years old): I confess I’m fussy. You must be at least as smart as I am and good at throwing a ball. I love to chase a ball and catch it on the run. It’s in my blood. My ideal mate(s): must admire refined, Blue Heeler mixes. [...]
