"I would like to nominate Juno's Den for two main reasons. 1. The dogs they rescue have the most incredibly sad stories of abandonment and abuse that are "normal" throughout Mexican Territory. 2.Thanks to their courage and great efforts, they are bringing variedad of furry pals in optimal health conditions no máster color, mix or age. Additionally they promote enthusiastically the sterilization and adoption opportunities as a continuous practice in order to increase a better understanding and awareness about overpopulation."

"We are so grateful to Juno’s Den for rescuing our pup, and choosing us to adopt her! Mozzi was found as a stray and while we don’t know anything about her background, we do know she is the sweetest dog who deserves the world. Juno’s Den took the utmost care for Mozzi (then, Mama) before she found her forever home with us. They were extremely helpful with the adoption and spay process, providing valuable guidance and expertise along the way. We cannot thank them enough!"

"We had such a great experience adopting two sweet little girls from Juno's Den, that were rescued from the streets of Mexico. Great conversations were had with both Sylvia with Juno's Den, and Tanya who was fostering the girls. They gave so much information that we felt we knew the pups before even meeting them! Such a great experience and the level of trust I felt going into the adoption process made it even easier. The work they are doing is absolutely incredible!"

"Baloo was born on 2017 in Queretaro, Mexico and he and his siblings were put up for sale. Me and my sister were living together in Mexico City (about three hours driving from Querétaro) and my sister started dating this guy that was temporarily working in Querétaro and visiting Mexico City on the weekends. As he felt lonely in Querétaro he went and bought puppy Baloo and me and my sister immediately fell in love with him, he started hanging out in Mexico City during the weeks at our apartment and my sister and I would care for him and potty train him. It tuned out that the guy was still seeing his ex and dumped my sister, and he left our lives with puppy Baloo on his arms. A couple times in the years after, we had the chance to see Baloo in Mexico City and we were still madly in love with him. Time went by and this guy married, moved to the north of Mexico in the Sonoran desert and his wife got pregnant. During this time my sister moved to Paris and I got married and moved to Seattle and after connecting with more Mexicans here, I started volunteering with Junos Den. One day in 2021 my sister received a message from the guy saying that they could no longer have Baloo and that they were giving him away but he thought we might want to adopt him so he checked with us before posting anywhere else. My sister was in Paris and she could definitely not take Baloo, I was in Seattle living in a 400 sqft studio and I immediately called Sylvia from Juno’s Den and we moved everything we could so I could bring him to Seattle with me. It was really hard for me at the moment due to my living space so I even tried to set up Baloo with other friends of mine. We soon found a bigger apartment that would take dogs and we set the date. Juno’s Den walked me through the whole process so I could bring Baloo from México since that is what they do. We then flew to San Diego and then went to Tijuana to meet Baloo, we did the handoff and took Baloo to the vet so he could get a letter saying he was ok to travel. Baloo then crossed the border by car and was dropped off at San Diego’s airport where he was checked in to fly in his crate, fortunately he had traveled before with his other family and he already had his crate and was familiar with flights. We all went on the plane, arrived to Seattle and re-started our story together. Juno’s Den was incredibly helpful during this process and now Baloo is a social media ambassador for them."

". We were able to be a foster home several times, and it has always been a pleasant experience. Sylvia has a very thorough process when reviewing (adoption) applications.
