We started this year with a great challenge. Have enough food to feed the guests of our rescue center.
Previously we reached an agreement with PURINA that donated food, but their warehouses in the state have closed and we have been left without the important donation that they gave us.
For this reason, we appreciate every donation that you can give us, for veterinary services, maintenance of facilities and food
