Paty's nomination story

For the last 6 years, Patricia has dedicated her life to a very personal crusade that for the most people may seem incomprehensible: to take care of abandoned, forgotten and ill-treated dogs.

The words abandon, oblivion and mistreat acquire another dimension when you visit for the first time Milagros Caninos, the first sanctuary for dogs in extreme situations like cancer, legless, blind, deaf, burned and tortured. In the sanctuary, Patricia gives the dogs an opportunity to live a decent life.

In 2008, she founded the Street Dog Monument in order to create awareness about the importance of treating the dogs with respect.

Patricia is an exemplary Mexican with a greatness of heart with no comparison.
