Today we celebrate the adoption of Estrella
.
Tigre – the community beach dog in Venao. Tigre can be seen around Playa Venao most days. He is getting old and has several issues that need medical attention. Melissa, at #RicosCoffee has taken a personal interest in Tigre and reached out to PAS to help. Abbe and Gord picked up Tigre, and took him to see Dr. Jose in Pedasi. He is now on three different medications for several medical issues. He is on the road to recovery and Melissa will ensure he gets his medications each day. She will also be taking donations to help pay for the vet bill and the medications that were quite expensive. So if you are in Venao, go say hello to Tigre and Melissa, and have a coffee at #RicosCoffee! Don’t forget to donate to Tigre’s medical fund. It’s actions like this from the people in our wonderful communities that give these animals a good life. If you would like to donate to support Tigre’s medical costs, there are several options: GoGundMe http://gofundme.com/f/pro-animales, PayPal – http://paypal.me/abbedrossner1 or send an email to fundraising@proanimales.org and be sure to add “Tigre’s Care” to your email. www.ProAnimales.org. Tax #87-3770161 – donations are tax deductible in the U.S.A.
The foster story of Guinevere. Our expat plan included me living alone here for about 6 months. This was the perfect time to foster a dog! And, oh what a dog I got… Guinevere was living on the streets of Pedasí and rescued by a local. She was an angel from the moment I picked her up, a truly sweet spirit.
For the next couple of months, I gave her love, regular meals, a soft bed, and a farm to run to her heart’s content. It was so heartwarming to see her blossom. It wasn’t long before Pro Animales found the perfect home for her. Although it was SUPER sad to let her go, it just wasn’t the right time for us to have a dog (if it was, I totally would have kept her!) and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to protect and care for her until she went to the perfect place. I felt like the lucky one!
Today, she is cherished and spoiled rotten. SO well deserved! Pro Animales is an outstanding organization run by people who adore animals and have lots of connections that enable them to make a huge difference for a lot of dogs and cats.
Pro Animales Santeños is a compassionate group of animal lovers who are truly dedicated to the welfare of animals in need. They do a great job in finding foster and adoption homes for their rescued animals. The application process for adoption and fostering is easy and there is always someone available to support you in caring for your animal.
