***COMPARTIMOS***

¡Hola a todos! Acabo de publicar esta hermosa perrita (hembra) Creo que no es mayor de 5 o 6 meses.

Dejada por alguien en el desarrollo yo vivo en playa lagarto, la encontré por una de las villas totalmente sola buscando desesperadamente que alguien la ayude, le den de comer y le den un poco de agua y amor, es triste porque esto es más común de lo que todos piensan 😭y me rompe Alma.
(¿Cómo puedes deshacerte de un dulce ángel como ese??? ) 💔💔

Ojalá pudiera conservarla porque es muy cariñosa y hermosa, pero ya tengo 2 perros y ya es mucho con lo que lidiar, además viajo por todas partes y 3 perros es difícil de llevar a cualquier parte.

Por favor, si usted o usted sabe de alguien que busque adoptar y quiere el perrito estaré encantado de traérselo a cualquier parte de Guanacaste sólo asegúrese de darle un lugar cálido amoroso, por ahora ella está conmigo me aseguraré de que ella es buena hasta que pueda Búscale una familia.

Por favor, vuelve a publicar y comparte esto para que pueda llegar a más familias y personas que puedan quererla 🙏🏼❤️

Pura vida gracias

ENGLISH:
Hi everyone! I just posted this beautiful little dog (female). I think she's no older than 5 or 6 months.

She was abandoned by someone in the development. I live in Playa Lagarto, and I found her completely alone in one of the villas, desperately looking for someone to help her, give her food, water, and love. It's heartbreaking because this is more common than people think 😭 and it breaks my heart.

(How can you get rid of such a sweet angel???) 💔💔

I wish I could keep her because she's so affectionate and beautiful, but I already have two dogs, and that's a lot to take on. Plus, I travel a lot, and it's difficult to take three dogs anywhere.

Please, if you or anyone you know is looking to adopt and wants this puppy, I'd be happy to bring her anywhere in Guanacaste. Just make sure you give her a warm, loving home. For now, she's with me, and I'll make sure she's well cared for until I can find her a forever family.

Please repost and share this so it can reach more families and people who might want her. 🙏🏼❤️

Pura vida, thank you!

🚨PUBLIC DENUNCIATION: JUSTICE FOR THE DOGS OF SAN JOSÉ DE PINILLA🚨

With broken hearts and profound outrage, we publicly denounce an act of cowardice and extreme cruelty in our community. In San José de Pinilla, Guanacaste, several dogs have been poisoned en masse and mercilessly. This will NOT go unpunished!😡

We deeply regret the loss of these innocent lives, but we will transform our helplessness into legal action. We want to remind those responsible that in Costa Rica, animal abuse and cruelty are CRIMES punishable by law.

⚖️ What the Law Says in Costa Rica:
The Animal Welfare Law (No. 7451 and its amendments in the Penal Code by Law No. 9458) stipulates severe consequences for those who commit these acts:

*Article 279 bis (Cruelty against animals): Punishes with prison sentences of three months to one year anyone who causes harm to a domestic or domesticated animal that causes it suffering, intense pain, or prolonged agony.

*Article 279 ter (Animal death): Establishes direct prison sentences for anyone who causes the unjustified death of a domestic or domesticated animal.

🔍 The investigation is already underway.
We want to inform the community that several individuals, rescuers, and organizations are joining forces and conducting a thorough investigation to gather conclusive evidence, testimonies, and identities. We will not stop until we find the person or persons responsible for this atrocity and file a formal criminal complaint with the Specialized Section for Environmental Crimes and Animal Welfare of the OIJ (Judicial Investigation Agency).

If you saw anything, know who bought or placed the poison, or have any information (no matter how small), please contact us privately. Your report will be completely anonymous.🙏

Silence makes us complicit. If you touch one of us, you touch us all. We demand justice! 🐾💔

Team, this little dog arrived at a house in Lagartillo, Guanacaste. Please help us share this so we can see if anyone recognizes him.🙏

The person told us that he seems lost or abandoned, as he's thin and looks neglected, as if he's been missing for a long time.

Please help us share this.

ESPAÑOL:

Team, este perrito llego a una casa en Lagartillo, Guanacaste. Por favor, ayudenos a compartir para saber si alguien lo reconoce.🙏

La persona nos indica que al parecer está perdido o lo dejaron abandonado, ya que está flaco y parece descuidado como si estuviera perdido hace mucho.

Por favor ayudanos a compartir

🐾 Four-legged angels seeking a miracle in the mountains! ❤️✨

Yesterday, the Zaguaticos de Avellanas team visited a very humble community. We encountered a heartwarming reality: a beautiful family who, despite their limited financial resources, showers 16 dogs with love and cares incredibly well. 🐶🏡 Yes, 16 grateful tails! Seeing this family's dedication to their well-being filled our souls.

We knew we had to help them, and miracles do happen! Thanks to the enormous heart of - who have been true angels to us, we have already received all 16 neuter surgeries! 🎉🙏

Their generosity and love assure us that we will break the cycle of overpopulation in this area. Thank you so much for helping us.😭♥️

However, the mission doesn't end there.
To ensure the day is a complete success and the dogs recover safely, we urgently need your help with the following post-operative supplies:

📋 What we urgently need:
• Elizabethan collars (cones): Essential to prevent them from licking or reopening their surgical wounds.

• Collars and leashes: Because it's a mountainous area, their instinct is to go into the mountains, and they could seriously injure themselves in their current condition. We need to keep them secure and safe. They don't have to be new; used ones are fine.

• Blankets/beds: We need several old blankets or secondhand beds so they can be comfortable after their neutering.

• Food: To ensure they have excellent nutrition during their recovery (there are a lot of tummies to feed!).

📍 How can you help?

You can drop off your donations directly at my house in Playa Junquillal, Guanacaste.

📞 Or, contact me directly at +506 7221-3060 to coordinate.

Every little bit helps, no matter how small you think it is, but for them, it means the world. Help us share this story and protect these 16 warriors! 🇨🇷🐾

A Second Chance at Life: The Value of Caring, the Value of Spaying/Neutering. 🐾

We recently rescued a sweet little dog who needs us now more than ever. Upon examination, we discovered she has a canine sexually transmitted disease (yes, just like Pirulo, who sadly didn't survive) and is also battling ehrlichiosis.💔

Our hearts are with her; we will begin her chemotherapy and treatment process with complete faith that she will overcome it and finally have the healthy life she so deserves. And all of this is thanks to - who will cover the cost of this little dog's treatment.😭🙏♥️

Her story motivates us to share a very important message with you:
Sometimes, due to a lack of information, we think our dogs need to reproduce, but the reality is that spaying/neutering them is the greatest act of love we can offer them. 😊

➡️Why is spaying/neutering so important (for both males and females)?

🐶Preventive Health:
We prevent serious and painful diseases that, as in the case of our little one, are easily transmitted.

🐶Goodbye to Overpopulation:
Every puppy that isn't born responsibly is one less life that ends up abandoned or on the streets.

🐶General Well-being:
A neutered dog has a better quality of life, less stress, and becomes a more balanced companion.

Neutering isn't taking anything away from them; it's ensuring them a healthier and happier future. It's a way to be responsible owners and help prevent fewer animals from suffering the consequences of abandonment or the spread of disease. 🙏🏼

We sincerely hope this little warrior pulls through. Thank you for helping us be her voice and for understanding that, together, we can change the destiny of many more.

Thank you for being so kind and helping this sweet dog.♥️😭🙏

Help us share this message of love and prevention! 🐾❤️

Looking for a family for this kitten named Michi🐈

He's a male, super affectionate, loving, and very calm. He'll be your ideal companion. He does all his basic needs outside, but you can train him to use a litter box; he's very intelligent.

He's currently in Callejones, Guanacaste. If you're interested, please contact us.📞
