A well-loved member of the Puerto Peñasco community and founder of Barb's Dog Rescue, Barbara Mumaugh, has died at the age of 70.

, Barbara Mumaugh, died June 29 at the age of 70 in Phoenix after suffering complications from an illness.

"Barb's daughter was hit by a drunk driver on her 21st birthday, and when she passed, Barb didn't want to live anymore," Fletcher said. Immediately, Mumaugh made the move to Mexico, buying a small house and starting off her rescue with 10 dogs. Fletcher said Mumaugh struggled in the beginning years, spending many nights using her money to make sure the dogs were fed even if that meant she wouldn't eat. Every dime she made, she put into the dogs.

From the beginning years up till now, dogs are accepted from animal control and from locals and visitors who find stray dogs. When they are taken into the facility, they are fully vetted and transported to a medical center if necessary. Then, they live in the rescue and are ready for adoption. Mumaugh also partnered with many rescues in the Valley and transported dogs up to Phoenix to be adopted.
