Our Partners

Our Partners – The Heartbeat of Pando

We don’t function alone. We thrive because of an extraordinary circle of partners who have become family.

These are the veterinarians, feed suppliers, trainers, and small businesses who pour their time, expertise, products, and hearts into keeping our dogs and horses healthy, happy, and whole. They both provide services and donate services, rush emergency care at a moment’s notice, deliver the perfect hay at impossible hours, and celebrate every breakthrough as if each animal were their own.

Their love radiates straight through the animals and into every veteran who finally smiles, every child who whispers every quiet moment of healing. Without their collaboration, their generosity, and their unwavering belief in second chances, Pando would simply be a dream instead of a living aspiration of paying things forward and living truly for those around you.

To every partner who chooses kindness over profit and love over convenience:

You are the unseen roots that keep our forest standing.

Thank you for growing with us. 🌿

About Pando Foundation

Seaside Bulldogs / Veterinarian y Granero Miramar

Without Seaside Bulldogs Pet Shop and the tireless heart of Lucia Coronado, hundreds of dogs, cats, and even goats would never have received the medical care they desperately needed.

Lucia has driven countless miles, coordinated with trusted veterinarians in Tijuana, and personally covered or arranged life-saving procedures when cost would have meant surrender or worse. From emergency spays to broken bones, from heartworm treatment to dental rescues, she has been the quiet, relentless backbone of Pando’s canine (and sometimes feline and caprine!) health program.

Seaside Bulldogs stands right beside her, opening doors to affordable care across the border and never turning away a Pando animal in crisis.

Because of their partnership, love, and refusal to let money stand in the way of healing, hundreds of once-hopeless cases are now gentle therapy dogs bringing comfort to veterans and children.

They are the reason second chances are never out of reach. We are endlessly grateful. 🐾❤️

Jamul Feed & Supply – Jamie La Fortune

What began as an emergency call about an injured horse has blossomed into one of Pando’s most exciting friendships.

For nearly three years, Jamie La Fortune and her self-running Jamul Feed & Supply have been our lifeline for everything equine. From the perfect hay to critical supplements, from connecting us with the best farriers to rushing emergency supplies at a moment’s notice, Jamie has made sure no Pando horse ever lacks what it needs to heal and thrive.

Her knowledge, generosity, and heart have turned a simple feed store into a sanctuary partner we could never live without. Every bale delivered, every late-night phone call answered, every quiet “don’t worry, I’ve got you” has kept our horses strong enough to carry veterans and children toward their own healing.

Jamie doesn’t just supply feed. She supplies hope.

We are endlessly grateful. 🐴❤️

Alana Rae Pappas – Pappas Family Ranch

Alana Rae Pappas has been Tiffany’s farrier since the very first horse stepped onto Pando ground, and she is so much more than “the hoof girl.”

With her beautiful smile and her sweet son riding shotgun, Allana shows up rain or shine, turning every visit into a masterclass in care, precision, and kindness. She keeps every Pando horse balanced, sound, and moving like the gentle healers they are meant to be. When a horse needs a restart, Allana is already there offering to restart them herself, when a foot looks wrong at a last minute's notice she's there to help.

Her skill is legendary, but her heart is the real miracle. Allana and Pappas Family Ranch don’t just trim hooves; they carry our horses so our horses can carry veterans and children toward healing.
