Arnaldo Vivanco is the founder of Vivanco Rescue, working alongside his nephew and co-founder, Damian Vivanco.

A man of many interests, Arnaldo is a Nurse Practitioner in ENT/otolaryngology by profession, a medical investigator for clinical research, a published author, a peer reviewer, a licensed private pilot, and an animal rescuer.

While his life philosophy is to live like there’s no tomorrow, he’s aware that, unfortunately, that “no tomorrow” is the reality many dogs face in this world. It’s a reality that breaks his heart, but what also propels him forward to fulfill his mission in rescuing dogs so they can have a better chance at being given a tomorrow.

He loves each rescue as if they are his own and nurses them back to health in every way: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, so that when these rescues are up for adoption, they are prepared for a new life and new home.
