SOS El Arca is a humane, no-kill dog rescue based in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We work tirelessly to rescue abandoned, injured, and mistreated dogs from the streets, giving them the chance of a life they deserve. 

Since 2011, we have rescued, rehabilitated, spay/neutered and re-homed more than 9000 dogs and cats.

Every year, we care for hundreds of dogs and cats in need in our shelter. The vast majority are adopted to loving, forever homes. Those who cannot be adopted live with us at the shelter, safe, loved, and cared for until they pass away.

We also provide low-cost veterinary care and spay/neuter through our clinic, “Corazon Sin Dueño” and 100% of the profits from the clinic go back into supporting the work of the shelter.

We have no government funding and rely solely on individual donations to fund our life-saving mission.
