Salty Dog Rescue Brigage is a dog rescue organization based in Nayarit, MX made up of a group of volunteers whom are dedicated to rescuing/re-homing dogs that have been abandoned/unwanted or surrendered. We have two shelter locations currently; Puppyland in Jarretaderas, where the smaller rescues reside and Mezcales, where the medium/large rescues reside. We also have a few foster homes as well.
We have seven staff who care daily for the dogs and make sure they are fed and cared for. We also have a wonderful group of volunteers who dedicate their time to take dogs to the vet, for walks, assist at spay and neuter clinics, help fundraise, take a dog home for a day/night and so much more! We are a non-profit organization and rely on fundraising and donations to get these dogs off the streets/out of unsavory conditions and get them on the road to their very best lives, healthy and cared for!
Flight Angels
Being a flight angel is definitely one of the most rewarding opportunities! There is no better feeling than knowing that you got to partake in helping a sweet dog get to their new families/homes! We would like to take the time to thank you so very much in advance for being a flight angel and helping these precious souls and adoptor’s!

How do I get ready to bring my rescue adopted/foster dog home?
Some things you will need to purchase if this is your first dog are basic items such as a collar, leash, dog bed, treats, and food and water bowls.
Before bringing a new dog into your home, make sure your house is safe for them. This includes keeping dangerous things such as toxic food, plants and medications out of reach. Also you may want to make sure that anything valuable that you rather your dog not to chew, such as shoes, clothing and phone chargers are placed out of reach.
NEVER underestimate your foster animal’s abilities. Accidents happen!
You’ll also want to use dog crates/kennels and gates to confine your new dog when left home alone until they’re housetrained and comfortable using a chew toy. Providing appropriate toys for your dog to play with will help keep them stimulated and prevent them from chewing on items. It may also help them if they are anxious as well. Remember this is all new for them too!!
Canadian Flight Angels
1) Please submit your flight itinerary via sending it to
This is required to ensure we have your accurate information so that we can properly book the dogs in the cabin or cargo hold (crates) linked to your ticket. The airlines require from us the following: the names of the specific fliers, flight date, destination(s), email, telephone numbers, sometimes address, and date of birth. If you are not comfortable providing that information please let us know in advance of booking as there is a fair bit involved in the process. You can also book the crates yourself if that is your preference and we are happy to assist you with any questions you may have.
2) So all parties are on one page, one of our rescue volunteers will make a group chat that includes the flight angels, adopters, and anyone else involved in your flight so that we can all be on the same page through Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp or another way if need be. All paperwork that you will need for customs will be provided to you. This could include a letter that has the name and information of the specific fliers and the adopter’s details, name of the dog, the breed, the time they entered the shelter, and so on. This document is required if you are escorting a dog.
3) On the day of the flight:
A member from our rescue will meet you with the dogs at the airport, prior to the flight (by the outdoor pet relief area).
In order to check in for your flight you have to have the dogs and their paperwork physically with you. The transportation crates they will need we will provide bring to the airport when we bring the dog(s). The adopters will be taking their dog’s crate/bag home.
We will provide you with the Health Certificate that you will need to fly the dog(s). The dog’s health certificate will say when the dog had their rabies vaccine, when they were spayed/neutered, and other information including the Veterinarian that completed the procedures.
We will also provide you with their booklet that has more of their vaccination information enclosed to give to the adopters(s) at the customs office after you arrive. There will be a customs inspection fee for the dogs to be paid at the Canada Customs office. It is up to you how adopters can pay you back for this fee. The fee is split up and totals up to $40.
4) Please pictures!
Taking a picture once the dogs are with their new puppy parents gives everyone peace of mind knowing everyone has made it! Or make it fun and take pictures throughout their day in the airport/on the plane if they are in a flight bag with you/upon arrival at the airport etc..
We really couldn’t do this without your big hearts so thank you from the bottom of ours! Please consider being a Flight Angel for us or telling your travelling friends about the program if you/your friends are travelling again out this way!

This is required to ensure we have your accurate information so that we can properly book the dogs in the cargo hold(crates) waiting to go home. The airlines require from us the following: the names of the specific fliers, flight date, destination(s), email, telephone numbers, sometimes address and birth date depending on how you booked your flight and if you have a membership, and so on. If you are not comfortable providing that information please let us know in advance of booking as there is a fair bit involved in the process. Once we have successfully booked the space for the dog on your flight, we will let you know.

4) If flying a dog in cargo, they usually come out of the oversized baggage claim area. This is typically where the adopters will meet you. Please note that the dogs will need to stay in their crate until you get there. It is very helpful to take a picture or a few to send us in the flight chat, that way we know the dog(s) have arrived safely and they are with the new adopters as planned.
