Vámonos – let’s do it! “Is the hiring of Shorty’s Rescue, a pit bull dog rescue founded by TV reality star Shorty Rossi.
Shorty Rossi’s passion is to help the often misunderstood Bully races.
Based in La Misión, Baja California, Mexico, near the San Diego border where Shorty lives, the facility currently houses 30 dogs from seniors to puppies and adopts over 100 animals annually. Shorty, who lives in Mexico, has seen firsthand the unfortunate conditions many dogs live in due to homelessness, lack of medical treatment, and lack of access to affordable spa and neutering procedures. To address these issues, Shorty worked with local vets and opened a free spay and neuter clinic every month. The program is so popular that there is now a long waiting list. Shorty doesn’t want to turn away pet owners and is buying a van to be converted into a mobile spay and neuter clinic. The clinic is expected to go into operation in summer 2021. Business that gives back To raise funds for the rescue, Shorty opened Shorty’s Rescue Pet Store in 2019. Many foreigners actually live in La Misión and there is a need for high quality pet food and accessories for their pets.
