CET
MAR Aquarium
Visit The Center for Technological
Sea Studies and Aqua Culture aka: CET MAR Aquarium.
This is a great place for
the entire family and one of our favorite places to visit.
It's an interesting aquarium exhibition that features native
species of the intertidal zone and the northern gulf coast.
There you can feed sea lions and feed squid to sea turtles.
The sea lions will poke their heads through the enclosure
and allow you to pet and feed them. I don't know if it's
a routine practice, but for a $5 donation per person you
can enter the sea lion enclosure and pet them and take pictures
with them.
Open 10:00 to 3:00 on Mon-Fri,
10:00 to 6:00 on Sat-Sun. Cost: Adults $2.00, Children $1.00.
Directions:
Take Fremont Blvd toward Las Conchas. Aquarium is just past
the school on the right, watch for signs.
Important!
If you find carcasses and bones of marine mammals, do
not disturb them. It is a violation of the U.S. Marine
Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammal bones into
the United States. Both Mexican and U.S. laws protect
the carcasses of marine mammals.

Animal
Adoption Center
Rocky Point Animal Adoption
Center.
http://www.rpaac.org
Save a life get a new best
friend. The Rocky Point Animal Adoption Center is a non-profit
animal shelter that houses and cares for stray animals
in Rocky Point, Mexico. They run solely on donations and
are in need of donations of wet & dry dog and cat
food, cat litter, medical supplies, and monetary donations
for spaying and neutering. Any help you can provide is
greatly appreciated.
Nancy Phelan is the caretaker
of many orphaned animals. For the past four+ years, Nancy
has cared for, spayed, neutered and adopted 100's of strays
that find their way or are dumped off. She is a former
Arizona resident who decided to make a better life for
the animals in Rocky Point. Take a few minutes to stop
by and say "hello" and be sure to bring some
pet food or pet care items. The wonderful people of Rocky
Point and the U.S. have contributed food, money, medicine
and time. When funds are scarce, Nancy uses her own money
to pay for whatever is needed. With your help and support,
we can make Rocky Place a better place for animals. Feel
welcome to email Nancy at: nancy_phelan@yahoo.com or call
from the U.S. 011-52-638-383-1012.
Open:
Everyday Except Wednesday.
Directions:
Take Blvd. Benito Juarez to (The Electric Company) is
on the corner. Go down 3 blocks, the shelter is on the
left.
To
Spay or Not to Spay?
Spaying is common sense.
The cost of spaying your dog is about the price of a tune-up
for your vehicle. When you compare the cost of vet bills
and food for a litter of unwanted pups, spaying your pet
is quite a bargain.
Traveling
with Pets:
(Dogs & Cats Only) Bring
a valid U.S. Veterinarian Health Certificate Form &
Rabies Certificate # 77043 (not more than 6 months old).
Any vet should be able to provide these for you. While
many people tell you they have never had a problem bringing
their pet back and forth across the border, we recommend
you get these certificates. Most border crossings won't
give you a hard time about it. But, if they do (and they
have the right to) they can hold/quarantine your pet which
is both traumatic and expensive. So please, get the forms!
It's better to be safe than sorry.
