The all-breed animal rescue organization focuses on pulling dogs from shelters when they are at risk of being euthanized, as well as abandoned, abused, and stray dogs in both the U.S. and Tijuana/Rosarito areas. PAWS4Thought’s primary goal is to rescue and rehabilitate these dogs in loving foster homes until they are adopted into their permanent “fur-ever” homes. The non-profit also works to educate the public by providing information on rescue procedures and conducting low-cost and free spay/neuter events for those who need these services. Stop by family-friendly Barrio Star for Saturday brunch or lunch, and enjoy fresh Mexican food, woven with bold Latin flavors and clever Asian touches. From their popular Brunch Tacos to red or green Chilaquiles, taco plates to the Barrio Bowl, Barrio Star offers something for all tastebuds! Including their refreshing margaritas, house-made sangria, wine, or beer. Barrio Star is in the Banker’s Hill neighborhood, at 2706 5th Avenue, 92103
