Our Mission
We were told that no vet here would spay or neuter our puppies before they were 6 months,
at which age the dog has almost no chance of being adopted.
We were told that no Uruguayan would pay an adoption fee for a once homeless puppy.
Guess What? All of puppies are sterilized safely between 10 and 14 weeks and we already have a wait list of Uruguayans ready to pay the adoption fee for one of our healthy, vaccinated and already spayed or neutered pups!* Now we just need your help.

-Through your donations and support we will:
-continue saving litters, spay/neuter the puppies before giving them up for adoption, and, find responsible owners who understand that a dog should be a beloved member of their family. -educate the public here. At present, few people regard dogs as any more than a rat. People take a dog for protection, feed it minimally and allow it to roam the streets breeding freely. The dogs that have not been hit by cars that day will make it home to sleep in front of the house, giving the appearance of protection to the family. -develop a school program which will allow us to address Secundaria students (ages 12-18). We have already seen several of these students be the voice that got their parents to spay or neuter their dog, but we must make this wide-spread. -offer affordable, basic dog training so that families can enjoy having their dog live inside with them. -set up apprenticeships for children so they can work with the puppies firsthand and learn how we value them. |
Having fostered literally hundreds of dogs and puppies for the Humane Society in the US, it is clear that we must bring the same practices to this country. The rescue organizations here are so overwhelmed that it is all they can do to hand the puppy to anyone who will take it, with only a verbal commitment to spay or neuter. There is no judicial system for dogs here and no degree of cruelty is penalized by the law.
By the time children are 2 years old, they have already come to believe that it is perfectly normal
to see dogs digging through the trash, desperately trying to find food, getting hit by cars and left to die and even mating right there on the street without so much as a word from their parents.

*Puppies that are already ill when they come to us will not be sterilized until they are in perfect health and have completed all vaccinations regardless of age.
