For the past 30 years, Land of Strays has rescued and neutered thousands of strays. Currently, it is the home of more than 1800 dogs searching for a family. Land of Strays helps them get adopted and accepts them into their pack until they find a second chance. No straps, no deaths, just a family of 1800 dogs.

Located in the Costa Rican mountains, in an area of 375 acres surrounded by a beautiful landscape and lush vegetation, is Land of the Strays or "Territorio de Zaguates": a shelter that houses 1800 stray dogs.

It is estimated that in this Central American country there are a million dogs living on the streets. Because of this, Territorio de Zaguates has been working as a non-profit organization to raising awareness among the population about this problem. Likewise, its founders Lya Battle and Álvaro Saumet fight tirelessly to stop the cruelty and abandonment of these animals.

Territorio de Zaguates is an organization that believes in life and opportunities, that’s why they don’t consider euthanasia an option to canine overpopulation, and why their efforts are focused on providing the quality of life that every dog deserves, despite their health condition, it’s why they will always accompany any doggy in their fight to get healthy and find hope to keep living.

Animal Hope is a Costa Rican NGO that supports sick, run over or abandoned stray animals. It's goal is to give abused animals a better life. It also works to create awareness about the importance of protecting animals which have been subject of abuse.
