Spay & Neuter street dogs of Huanchaco, Peru

Greetings,

A heartfelt and happy update sent from gray and rainy Portland, Oregon. During this time of year we are primarily working with our partners on the ground to make sure that the dogs in the various shelters in Huanchaco are well cared for during the holidays and beyond.

This December we helped Ursula who runs Huanchaco Al Rescate to purchase food, medicine and some toys and treats for the dogs currently awaiting adoption at her rudimentary shelter. The donations of supporters like you all helped these dogs have much happier and healthier holiday season than they typically would.

Another piece of news we want to share with you all is that Lola, the spirited beagle with a broken leg that one of our volunteers worked tirelessly to bring the United States, arrived safely here this fall and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with her new family.

Longtime supporters might well remember that the dog who started this whole thing was also named Lola. :)

Both of these lovely ladies had their own lives improved through the Perros Project and went on to improve the lives of other dogs through their stories.

Finally, the key members of the US team – Dr. Brenda, Natalie, Kim, Courtney, and myself will be meeting via conference call in late January to chart out a five-year plan for the organization. We are very excited to discuss the various ways in which the Perros Project might expand its efforts and even better utilize the funds we receive from Global Giving.

More on that soon....

Thank you for all your amazing and wonderful support!
