Update: The Dogs at La Joya

Our partner organization and his team of veterinarians have begun helping the dogs at the La Joya garbage dump thanks to the donations we have received thus far! Around 120 dogs live in this garbage dump, living off of infested food and contaminated water while struggling to survive.

So far 50 dogs have been spayed or neutered, 4 are on antibiotic treatment, and 4 are receiving chemotherapy for TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumors). Niña, the mama dog who had several litters of puppies, has received blood work and has been spayed as well. Sadly, two dogs, Tonky & a small puppy did not make it. 

Progress has been made, yet we still need some help. There are 70 dogs left that need medical attention at La Joya. We really would love to help the rest. Would you please consider sponsoring a dog from the La Joya garbage dump?

Additionally, we are working to bring the most vulnerable La Joya dogs to the animal shelter of our partner organization, Rescatando Huellas, located in Jinotepe, Nicaragua. The first dog that was rescued is a female dog named Pinta. Pinta JUST arrived at the shelter yesterday, and you can see her arrival on our social media here. In order to make room for more dogs at the animal shelter, we also need to be able to make sure they are healthy, and well cared for.

We look forward to helping all the dogs at La Joya.
 

Warmly,
