Cat & dog adoptions
The first winter season cat and dog adoption tent was set up at the Mega Supermarket in Bucerias last week.
The program to find good homes for stray or unwanted cats and dogs is sponsored by PEACE Mexico, which also provides free, low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the region.
The only animal available for adoption this day was a young cat with beautiful copper eyes. It was adopted for a private school in Bucerias by one of its teachers.
Several other cats and dogs looking for new homes had not yet been taken to the veterinarian to be spayed/neutered, so they were not ready to be adopted out.
The tent will be outside Mega’s front entrance from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Jalisco time) on the second Saturday of every month.
There are some rules to observe in order to participate in the adoption program: Animals must be spayed or neutered and in good health (if there are vaccination records, please bring them); cats must be in carriers and dogs must be in crates or on a leash.
In addition, the person who brings an animal must stay at the tent until their cat or dog is adopted and will be required to take it home with them if it is not adopted.
The pet adoptions are free, but donations are welcomed to cover the cost of spay/neuter treatments.
Contact Sue Fornoff if you would like to volunteer at the adoption tent, if you are looking for a specific breed of pet to adopt or if you have a cat or dog that needs a home.

Festival del Sabor
The first Festival del Sabor on November 21 and 22 sees chef Seth Cloutman guest cook for two nights at Mark’s Bar and Grill in Bucerias. The patio will be reserved for this event so the seating is limited. A communal table is also available so that singles and foodies can converse about cuisine, the news or just get to know each other.
In addition to asparagus, gnocci, foie gras and figs, the main course choices will be roulades. The first is Rolled New Zealand Veal stuffed with a Porcini Mushroom Duxelle, Goat Cheese and Swiss Chard and the second, Rolled Rabalo (bass) stuffed with lobster and avocado and wrapped in Serrano Ham. Dessert will be poached pear, rich custard and filo. A sommelier will be pairing wines for each course.
Reservations are required and may be made by calling Mark’s at Lazaro Cardenas 56, Bucerias at 01-329-298-0303.
