Please Save Our Shelter!
Greetings!

The Peruvian Amazon region is experiencing the worst flooding in decades.  The beautiful animal shelter that took years to build has been washed away.  We were forced to relocate 50 dogs to our jungle treatment building.  Large, small, healthy and infirm, all of these animals are stressed and living in overcrowded conditions.
 

 

Volunteers Lend a Hand.

Volunteers walk the dogs.

Rebuilding on Higher Land. 
Thanks to generous donors and a emergency grant from the  Fondation 30 millions d'Amis, we are able to build a smaller, emergency shelter.  Local government is donating wood to assist us in this project.

Journalists are Good Sports!

Dogs are temporarily housed in a small, crowded building. Despite the constant barking and cries for attention, these journalists reported the news.

Adoptions Surge in April!  Community Listens to Our Plea for Help.

Due to massive overcrowding and the complete lack of shelter space, Amazon CARES has promoted adoptions very heavily.  We have had a record 13 adoptions so far this month!
