What do you do when you find an animal in the streets and are unable to take it in? Many people have gotten in touch with me asking if I will accept a dog that was found on the streets, under the impression that we have a shelter. Since I do not have a shelter, the short answer is, no I can't take the dog in. But the longer answer is, yes I can help!

As an independent rescuer in Costa Rica I have very minimal and very limited resources when it comes to dog rescue. I focus mainly on life or death cases of rescue and take on one case at a time. To see the kinds of cases I take on look at my rescues page.

The biggest most valuable resource that I have is reach. I can reach a lot of people through social media and my website. So my first point of action would be to advertise the dog or cat. To do this I need you to send me as many good quality pics and a couple short videos to me via whatsapp or email. Add to this a description (as much as you know) which will include:

• Male or Female
• Castrated yes/no
• Size
• Colour
• Temperament
• Gets along with other dogs, cats or children

If you are able to help, these are the ways that will make it easier for me to place a dog in either a forever home or a foster.

• Take the dog to be vaccinated is s/he is in good health
• Give them Nexgard
• Take them to be castrated
• Get them dewormed
• Supply a bag of food

The final and most important way that you can help me to place the dog is to deal with queries. Please give me a phone number where anyone interested can be reached, preferably someone who can speak Spanish.
