Homeless Animals

Amapas area has become popular for people who can no longer keep pets to just dump them on the beach or in the Conchas Chinas area and near Pemex. Most of these dogs and some cats are not street animals and have no chance of survival on their own. Most are friendly and in desperate need of being saved.
 Clare W. Leach and her husband (AMAPAS members) have rescued three since mid-September.  One of them was a little black and white dog who got hit and laid in ditch near Conchas Chinas for 40 hours before being rescued by SPCAPV Sanctuary. He was paralyzed and near death. “Buster” is now walking and at the sanctuary awaiting adoption. He is a miracle but many passed by him without helping before he was saved.
WHAT you can do? Capture the dog and if injured have a heart and take to a vet and pay for treatment, very reasonable here.

Email the SPCAPV at spcapv@gmail.com with a photo of the animal and ask for help and they will either come get the animal if they have room or advise of options.

This is a no kill sanctuary. For other questions on how you can help please email clare23leach@gmail.com   Sayan Tropical.

Thanks
Homeless animals are everyone’s business

Together as a community we can make a difference

TALKING TRASH FOR THE NEW YEAR: A Silver Lining…?

Lately, we’ve all been noticing uncollected trash piling up around town – not to mention on our streets and driveways – and thinking, ‘Here we go again!’

But this may actually be a sign of better things to come.

A number of City administrations have wrestled with a long-term contract signed by a former mayor, giving Proactiva an expensive monopoly on trash collection.  These struggles have resulted in extra costs, delays in service, etc.

However, the Davalos administration has managed to bring all this to a close.

Last week, the Proactiva contract was finally terminated, employees were let go, and at least some trash collection trucks were returned to City control.

What we are experiencing now – hopefully, temporarily – is the less-than-smooth change-over as Puerto Vallarta’s City Services takes control of all trash collection.  That means hiring, or re-hiring, drivers and workers, etc.

This week, and for the first few weeks of January, City Services will attempt to continue the ‘old’ pickup schedule – the one we’re all used to.  Between the change-over, the backlog, and the holidays, it probably won’t be pretty.

Viviana Teston, our ANA Administrator, has been on the phone, advising and reminding City Services that they’re falling farther and farther behind in our area – unfortunately, that’s all we can do for now.

And, of course, the timing couldn’t be worse for visiting tourists.

But, as soon as City Hall formalizes new routes, pickup schedules and rules, we’ll advise you via email updates like this one, and posts on our website and Facebook.  And we’ll inform your Administrators, as well. It’s hard to look for the silver lining as you step over piles of uncollected trash on your way to dinner or the beach, but, this time, there may actually be one!

ANA will keep you posted.

¡LA PARTE BAJA DE LA CALLE HORTENSIAS SE RE-ABRIO EL DÍA DE HOY!

Todavía tenemos trabajo que hacer, en el que se estará trabajando el día de hoy.

El día de hoy no se llevará acabo ningún trabajo por ser día feriado para el ayuntamiento por el día de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, pero el martes el equipo de Obras Públicas estará limpiando y removiendo el escombro, el Miércoles se verterá el cemento en el último tramo que conecta con la carretera.

Se seguirá trabajando un poco más, pero esto será después de año nuevo, cuando los trabajadores del ayuntamiento regresen de vacaciones.

Queremos agradecerles a los trabajadores por su trabajo duro y especialmente al Ing. Fernando Hernández por su dedicación y empeño como supervisor del Proyecto. Sin su determinación de conseguir que las huellas se terminaran y la calle pudiera ser reabierta antes de navidad, seguramente estaríamos todavía trabajando en la primera parte de la huella de subida.

Muchas gracias también a los miembros de Amapas y a los Edificios y Vecinos que contribuyeron con el dinero que fue necesario para conseguir este proyecto largamente esperado y muy necesario en nuestra calle.

Somos ANA. Y juntos logramos que las cosas se hagan.

LOWER HORTENSIAS RE-OPENS TODAY!

We’ve got a little more work to do, but we’ll finish up this week.

No road work today, in honor of Sta. Maria de Guadalupe, but Tuesday our Obras Publica-supplied road crew will be busy clearing and removing the last of the debris, and Wednesday we’ll pour that last little section down at the highway.

There’s a little more to be done after that, but it’ll have to wait until the New Year, when we get our hard-working road crew back.

Special thanks to them, and to Fernando Hernandez, our dedicated and resourceful Project Supervisor.  Without his determination to get the tracks laid and the road reopened before Christmas, we would still be trenching the first track.

Thanks, too, to the ANA members, Full Member Buildings, and neighbors who contributed the many pesos necessary to get this long-awaited and much-needed show on the road!

We are ANA.  Together we get things done!
