My name is Marnie Baesler. Animal welfare is an important part of my life. I believe that all animals deserve dignity, respect and an environment of safety and love. I dedicate my free time giving back to the animal community. Whether it is being a board member with the local shelter, taking photographs of adoptable animals for their website or donating time at the shelter to walk dogs or at the free clinics.
I want to do more but I need help!
My vision: Purchase a property on the island of Ambergris Caye for a "purpose-driven vacation property". Intertwining the tourism sector with local rescue efforts, creating a reliable pipeline of adoptions, alleviating stress on the shelter and offering travelers an unforgettable, heartwarming experience.
My location will function as vacation property, but have a secret mission. Because Saga (Saving AmberGris Animals) Humane Society is the absolute heart of animal welfare in San Pedro, transforming this dream into a reality requires understanding the logistics of working with them and navigating international pet travel rules.

Highlights
See all activity1I am currently on the board of directors for SAGA Humane Society, as well as San Pedro Pet Outreach. Both of these organizations are located in San Pedro, Belize. Since moving to San Pedro in 2023, I recognized the need to expand the pool of potential adopters for dogs on the island. SAGA (Saving AmberGris Animals) is at capacity and often must release dogs and cats back to the streets after vaccinating and spay/neutering them. They are an amazing facility, but island life by nature has limitations.
As San Pedro is the top destination for tourism in Belize, the ability to reach potential adopters is limitless. This is a new business model that I would like to start, working with both of these organizations. Linking the SAGA website with current adoptables to my website, will enable visitors to choose the pet with which they want to spend their vacation. However there will also be plenty of dogs on site at all times. Not only will they get a much needed break from the shelter, visitors will have their pick of the litter. Working with San Pedro Outreach, will ensure all pets are spayed/neutered and microchipped before making their trips back 'home'.
Lastly, I would facilitate the transport process of getting dogs reunited with their new family in the quickest, safest, most economical way possible.
I worked diligently my first two years here, to become a legal resident of Belize. My desire is to resign from my full time position with my United States employer and work full time at getting dogs into loving homes all over the globe.
