The SPCA of PV held a successful fundraiser at Puerto Vallarta’s new El Patio Bar and Dog Park on January 27, 2022. Local PAW volunteers Chris Tripp and Chris Rising collected many great prizes and raised 57,700 pesos for the charity. Many of the shelter supporters participated in the 50/50 drawing, and El Patio donated a portion of the drink sales to the shelter. El Patio is Puerto Vallarta’s new outdoor bar and dog park where you can bring your dog to a safe, fenced area to play and socialize with other dogs while you enjoy a refreshing, delicious drink.
