Julie Morales
Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder & President of the Board
I grew up being part of a culture where animals didn’t matter and where dogs’ suffering was part of my reality. Two years ago, with my now husband and some friends, we decided to take action and start rescuing dogs in Mexico. I know there are still millions of them outside waiting for us and they are my daily motivation, my fuel.
Ximena Zermeno
Chief Branding Officer, Co-Founder & Board of Directors Member
I’m a rescuer because animals have no voice, but I do, a strong and clear voice that fights for their rights with unconditional love. I’ll never pass by and not take action because, despite the fear, my value is greater. There is so much EMPATHY missing in this world, and there are a lot of poor souls. If we do not start making sacrifices that can change humanity, we will never grow in spirit. The congruence between our words and actions is a privilege that few people have!
For the animals!

“I am a lifetime pet lover that was fortunate to grow up in a family where pets were dearly loved. The plight of homeless dogs in Latin America has motivated me to get involved with RESQUS Foundation and work to find ways to get loving homes for these precious creatures. I truly believe that there is enough love and goodwill in this world to make a difference to the lives of neglected dogs who are without love, shelter or family. Watch our videos, learn a little about the challenges that we face and get involved. A small contribution from you will make a big difference!”
Paula Herrera
Chief Fundraising Officer & Board of Directors Member
I know that this might sound like a line, but I have always believed that humans’ best friend is the dog. No matter what you have done, your dog will always be there for you wagging his tail. As I grew up I realized that in Mexico, there are millions of them suffering of abandonment, pain, hunger and violence. That is why I decided I can not be indifferent to this situation and that I will do whatever I can to help them.
I want to put love where once there was fear and make people understand that in love there are no breeds.
