Yo Soy Maya Alux

Me in my first week of FREEDOM!

Nuzzling dad by the pool at my Aunt Laura's Hotel Akumal Caribe.

Tug of War with my big brother, Nick, in my new backyard.

Taking it easy in my living room.

Hi!  Hola!

I’m Maya Alux

Yo Soy Maya Alux

I’m from Mexico

I am mostly a Coated Xoloitzcuintli, a breed they call Xolo (sholo) for short.

I was named Maya Alux after the Mayan’s small, magical shape-changer creatures. 

I prefer the life of a dog, however.

I was rescued in a town called Akumal, which means home of the turtle

I have lived 11 years, that’s 77 in the life of a human, and for much of my life I have used my magical powers to fight off cancer.  I’m a survivor

This year I am going on a big adventure.

We are driving all the way from South Caroline, where I have lived since I was a puppy

To Akumal where I was born.

Join me on my travels –
