This past week Sayulita lost two community members, Estela and Lorenzo Gamez after a tragic automobile accident. Estela and Lorenzo owned and operated the restaurant "Chile Relleno Feliz" on the north side of town, and Lorenzo was an active mountain and road biker. They leave behind family members and friends in Sayulita who will miss them dearly. Our condolences go out to their family. Donations are still needed to help their three children, one of which who suffered injuries in the accident. The outpour of community support has been phenomenal.

Costa Verde International School began teaching the children of Sayulita in 2008. Their impact and presence in the community has been so pivotal that expansion is necessary. They began with kinder through sixth grade, and after four years of graduating classes longing to stay, they are now able to offer seventh and eighth grades. Enrollment has already begun with thirteen children currently signed up.  More

Sayulita is a town that rides the cusp of pueblo and city. As it continues to grow, needs change and transportation morphs along with it. What once was dirt streets and travel by foot or horse has become pavement and cobblestone with travel in all forms. The most popular method is by golf cart. Sayulita is anything but typical! Personalities are mirrored in so many forms, and this includes personalizing transportation.  More

Sayulita Café is noted for its version of chile rellenos, but we decided to order something else and the coconut shrimp came to mind. The first thing you may think when you are presented with the dish is, "Holy Camarony!" I mean these shrimp are giants. Giant shrimp?

For all who stay in Sayulita during the summer months, life brings a different set of challenges and obligations. Here at Sayulitanimals we have the same responsibilities with significantly less volunteers. We write to you now requesting your help. This is the time of surplus puppies and kittens with no fosters or new families.  More

This momma was found after recently giving birth under an abandoned tinaco. She now lives at Sayulitanimals with her seven pups that are finally ready to find new homes. They are all very sweet and healthy, but we cannot determine size at the moment. The mom is medium in size with short hair, but the pups are quite round and very furry. If you would like to snuggle up to a new puppy or two, contact us today!
