its a different culture, many dogs and cats in mexico, the owners let them go out of the house and they go to town and chill there, when it is time to eat, they return home and then go out again, at dark they come at their homes to rest and protect their family... the big mayority of rural dogs/cats dont have a collar, but it doesnt mean they dont have a house. In CDMX, Gdl, Mty, and big cities there are more control on stray dogs... nice channel...
Yes a lot of these dogs have homes, even if they don't have a collar. A lot of people here have a lot of dogs and cats. A guy I know has 16 dogs. He had 20 something before.
Unfortunately lots of countries have a stray dogs. Shelters aren't really a thing and they don't fix them. Alot of expats volunteer and do rescue. Poor animal just want food/water and some human interaction. Culturally I don't understand why owners let their dogs roam and not keep them on their property.
Thank you for bringing awareness to the plight of homeless dogs. Many cities in MX now have rescue groups around to bring dogs in and find them homes, even with some training. I have noticed that near Queretaro and I believe SLP there are occasional spay/neuter clinics that are very low cost or free to help with responsible ownership and/or keeping the street population down.
My experience has generally been street dogs are tranquilo. They don’t pay much attention to people. However, It’s the dogs with homes that are noisy, barking at the wind and some seem a bit aggressive.
England Uk is amazing we have never had stray or loose dogs in decades. With the parks our dogs are mostly happy and healthy. You will always find bad people doing bad things. One thind I love about England how we treat all animals.
San Antonio Texas has a huge problem with strays. They have commercials about the city cracking diwn on aggress dogs..total BS..😂They take up to a month to pick up a dog..want you to "hold it for them" ...RIDICULOUS
This is interesting. Maybe it's because Playa is a very Touristy area, But, I haven't noticed a lot of stray dogs. ...some, definitely, but, not a bunch. Various groups are trying to round up dogs and get them to forever homes. We have had to be concerned with cougars every now and then.. Thanks for letting us know that this is a real problem with the numbers that you mentioned.
Amongst the two dozen or so dogs I've rescued (someone dumped them on my farm), I rescued a Pitbull and a Presa Canario. Both were the most affectionate and loving pups. However, Presa Canario, as a breed, are territorial and very protective of their family. "Family" being whomever they were raised with. I would take Pablo to Lowe's or to my local craft brewery and he would have the widest, friendliest smile and want to shake hands with everyone, and they wanted to have their picture taken with him and children would hug on him. Pablo loved every minute of it! Yet, once back on his home turf, no one, other than me and the other four rescues, he was raised with, could set foot on the farm without Pablo becoming very aggressive. But, that is the nature of the Presa Canario breed. Pablo was true to his breed. If you encounter an unaccompanied dog on the street, and it displays aggression towards you; it's probably saying to you; "please, don't hurt me. I'm just going home to my family". ❤
They are not all docile. I was once surrounded by a group of 3 dogs in Oaxaca city, it was terrifying. i just froze & eventually they left. And, some strays kept at a parking lot viciously came after my dogs. Vicious owned-dogs have come after my dogs. Ive been terrified by a few rooftop-dogs' barks, but Mexico implemented stronger dog cruelty laws in the last few years, so there are fewer lifetime-rooftop dogs (you can imagine how grueling in the Yucatan heat...). Animal cruelty in Mexico drives a lit of expats back home from living there. fact. they just can't take it.
I got slow-chased by an aggressive dog in Oaxaca about 20 years ago. It was scary. We walked really slowly away from him & didn't look back. He finally stopped following us. But I damned-near messed myself! 😂 Thought for sure that I was gonna lose some vital part of my body. That was the only time it happened though, in the 7ish months I've spent in México.
During my travels, I find that the stray dogs are friendly and for the most part, don't bother you. The dogs in the US are neurotic and always ready to attack.
Outside the US (so far) I haven't encountered aggressive stray dogs. Not in Asia. Not in Mexico. Dogs be straight up docile, minding their own business or on their mind their own business. lol Why the heck dogs are so aggressive in the US, I don't know. I brought my Korean dog back to the States with me and she immediately started acting brand new. Wouldn't eat the dog food she had always eaten. Stopped obeying commands the way she had since the day I got her. Brand. Freaking. New. The US is just aggressive I guess. 🤷♀
That's another reason my wife and I left Playa Del Carmen, all of the stray dogs using the bathroom everywhere. Mexicans don't train their dogs either. The neighbor's dogs bark all of the time and the owners do nothing. The dog mess on the sidewalks was just too much. The city needs to get a hold of this, for real. My wife called it a litter box, LMAO..😂
No, it's not safe, they tend to go at people and pets when the pack gets big enough. Dog people propaganda can't cover the fact that they are not harmless angels.

The same in Thailand 🇹🇭. Most countries don’t have Animals Control or shelters.

Poor animal just want food/water and some human interaction.

Agreed. I see other CC saying the same thing about stray dogs in all parts of Meico
I like the fact that the animals are part of the community here.
Thanks for covering this topic and the tips on how to help animals!

Interesting🤔. Thanks for sharing this info with us, Cartess.👍🏾
They are use to see people walking.
Do they won't harm nobody
How did you get those information
Most of the dogs have homes.
But they get out of their houses and they get in whenever they want.
They are not all docile. I was once surrounded by a group of 3 dogs in Oaxaca city, it was terrifying. i just froze & eventually they left. And, some strays kept at a parking lot viciously came after my dogs. Vicious owned-dogs have come after my dogs.

Are people just abandoning their dogs.
During my travels, I find that the stray dogs are friendly and for the most part, don't bother you. The dogs in the US are neurotic and always ready to attack.
Good info to know…
🐕 are getting it in...lol

costs money to spay...until system changes...........
Is that everywhere in Mexico? I'm thinking of Morelia I'm afraid of dogs.
As a México I can Say, yes, they are in all México

Any dog shelters or animal rescue?
Dogs are not prolific in other cities in Mecico.
Wrong
Is dog poop bad too?
What do think. Get your head out of your 4 point stance
Their first question was if the dogs were going to hurt them?
Not how can they help?
I don’t get that.
No, it's not safe, they tend to go at people and pets when the pack gets big enough.
Dog people propaganda can't cover the fact that they are not harmless angels.
😂 you're hilarious
