Our Board
We are extremely proud to introduce to you the Board of Directors for A Dogs New Life A.C.
Jessica Garibay Pineda
Founder/President
I'm originally from Mexico City but now reside in the Puerto Vallarta area, where I've lived for the past 30 years.
My passion... Dogs
I live for the dogs in need...
Back in October 2018, I decided to do something for the voiceless after rescuing one and realizing the lack of help from other organizations due to the overpopulation and lack of funds.
Now, I live at the shelter and am in charge of the operations to care, rehabilitate, and find homes for over 150 dogs with the help of our amazing team and Board Members.
Jorie Rizzuto
Director
I am originally from Toronto, Canada, and moved to the Bay of Banderas with my husband in 2019. Dogs have always held a very special place in our hearts, and here in Mexico almost everywhere you turn there are dogs on the streets who are just seeking a safe haven, food, and affection. Our family had already adopted 9 dogs, but it was clear there was a bigger need for help.
I first learned of A Dog’s New Life in 2022 when I volunteered to be a flight angel for a sweet puppy looking to find his way to his forever home. A Dog’s New Life has been able to make a significant, positive, impact on the dogs in and around Bucerias, and I am honored to be able to support this wonderful organization whose goal is to help not only street dogs, but also dogs in need within the community.
