Erin Riley-Carrasco and Suzie Williamson, lifetime friends, have a shared passion for animal advocacy. Suzie founded a Spay and Neuter Campaign in her hometown of Vizcaino, Mexico and teaming with several veterinarians, has spayed and neutered over 6000 dogs in her hometown. She has also fostered, rescued and found homes for countless dogs in the area and Southern California.

​

Erin has been an animal activist since the age of 19 and has been involved in dog rescue for 30 years. In 2015 she worked closely with a group of dedicated volunteers to get nine city ordinances passed in Southern California, banning puppy mill pet stores in the area. She also volunteered with “Social Compassion In Legislation,” flying to Sacramento and testifying in favor of AB485 which ended up passing, ending puppy mill pet stores in the state of California. 

​

Together, this dynamic duo and their team of dedicated fosters, volunteers & rescue partners, hope to make an impact on the lives of homeless animals. Each year ALMA provides rescue, rehabilitation, networking, transport, veterinary care and loving foster homes for hundreds of homeless dogs in San Diego and Mexico.
