Oaxaca, Mexico · Dog Rescue

Helping dogs find freedom and forever homes

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs across Oaxaca — matching loving families with pups who need a forever home.

Compassion with a leash on

Unleashed Project Rescue is a community-powered rescue based in Oaxaca, Mexico. We rescue dogs off the street, provide foster care and veterinary support, and carefully match each dog with an adopter who fits their personality and needs. Our mission is simple: fewer dogs left behind, more tails wagging at home.

  • 240+ dogs rehomed
  • 60+ active fosters
  • 100% volunteer-run

Azul

Azul

3 years old · Female

Azul is an extremely loving, sweet, and playful girl who still carries a quiet hope in her eyes. She was found abandoned on a rural road and left to fend for herself — no collar, no one looking back. She survived on her own until she was brought in, and now she's ready for the life she should have had from the start. She greets people with a soft, earnest face and a wag that says she's already decided you're her person. Azul is affectionate without being demanding, playful without being chaotic, and deeply loyal once she knows she's safe. She thrives on gentle routines, walks, and the kind of everyday closeness that makes a house feel like a home. She's looking for someone who will let her finally put the road behind her — a family that will give this sweet girl the second chance she never stopped waiting for. Azul is waiting to be unleashed into her forever life.
