    Heaven on earth for abandoned and stray dogs.

    From Smithsonian Magazine.

    Territorio De Zaguates is a no-kill shelter, homing stray or abandoned dogs from all over Costa Rica. The shelter itself was founded in 2005 in the home of Lya Battle and Alvaro Samut outside San Jose. But their house was too small to accommodate all the dogs, and around 2008, the couple moved them to 378 acres of farmland that had been left to Battle when her grandfather died.

    That is remarkable what they are doing to protect and keep the dogs safe. Some still look a little thin, or might just be their breed but at least they are all where they get food daily, medical treatment and love that they wouldn't get on the streets. Bless those that open their land to these dogs and the volunteers that help.
