Second chances for stray dogs in Tela-Honduras

We still have a long way to go, we have not achieved even 1/3 of what it costs to buy a property where we can build and move into our own space, we are still paying rent and space is becoming smaller every day, more animals  appear every day, fewer adoptions happen, which makes our overpopulation higher, we have a total of 46 dogs and 24 cats at this moment in a property of less than 1/4 acre, which makes it difficult , The  space where the animals can run, play actively without bumping into each other.

Likewise, due to the amount of animals reported daily abandoned by their families due to the high costs of sterilization, we created a social project dedicated solely and exclusively to low-income families where we sterilize their pets totally free to avoid unwanted litters and fewer stray animals. called WITHOUT NAME BUT WITH HOME, since July that it was created until today we have sterilized 52 pets, as well as a vaccination clinic for 80 pets between dogs and cats.

Although we are very small in donations, all the donations that we receive in money and in kind are used solely and exclusively for the benefit of pets.

In October we were also a fundamental part as a rescue group to support a fire that occurred in Guanaja where more than 125 houses were destroyed due to the fire and the most helpless were the animals.

We have thousands of reasons for you to continue supporting us, as well as making our dream of having our own space come true.

GREETINGS FROM DOGS WITH NO NAME !

We continue day by day with our mission to help dogs and cats in street conditions, as well as low-income families who cannot treat their pets, in Latin America our economic is not open yet to help project like this, humans are making what they can to survive and we do what w can to help all pets in need. As today  we are still looking for a way to have our own shelter, things have not been easy, the money we have received in donations , it  have used in the remodeling, expansion of the house that we rent since every day there are more animals on the street and we have to adapt  the space to accomodatte each of them.

At the end of last year we joined the two shelters for dogs and cats to cut our rent expenses a bit, but still we continue to find space for a better living.

In May of this year, we were finally established as an NGO in Honduras. The process has been long and costly, but we can undertake new projects.

We are planning a clinic  for vaccines and deworming 200 low-income pets in our next month, we hope to have your  support for us to  continue with this mission.

eternally grateful.

Diana Gutierrez
founder

in the first quarter of 2021 we are focusing on feline sterilization clinics, due to the high volume of unemployment and shortages in the third world  countries  many of the owners have decided to put their pets on the street, especially cats, our foundation has focused basically on dogs but we could not turn our backs on the large number of stray cats that are invading the streets of the port of Tela, and preventing overpoblation because cats can be pregnant 2-3 times of year bringing 6-8 kittens for litter, so  we  decided to open  a small refuge for them, we still paying rent in both of our shelters but we can't safe money to buy our own place if we still dealing with a lot needs for stray animals.

Similarly, our first sterilization clinic was made in Feb 4-5-6 of the current year where we were able to help 47 low-income families with their pets  also we were able to  donated cat food for each family. 

We are working and hoping to get the necessary funds to make a vaccination and dewormre  clinic in the 3rd anniversary of our foundation in March.

We will love if the globalfamily and friends keep our foundation in mind when they do donations, we are really small but we work hard and spent every single donation in our mission.

Life after Eta and Iota arrived at the port of Tela

It has been almost two months since we were affected not only by the pandemic that has affected us worldwide, but also natural events such as Hurricane ETA and IOTA that both arrived with a difference of one week.
We fell back to where we were initially at zero, COVID, high unemployment, lack of government help for each of the inhabitants of the port of Tela – Honduras, hunger, the need for humans play a major factor in increasing abandoned dogs and cats right now, people don't have money  to keep their pets and end up throwing them to the streets for lack of resources.
In what we have been taking from October 2020 to today we have collected more than 5 dogs in gestation leaving us with an excess of puppies never seen before in our organization. Adoptions have come down for the same cause. don't work, not money  for keeping a pet.
In November 2020 our shelter began to provide assistance to the hundreds of cats abandoned in sewers, boxes or simply leaving them adrift.
Right now we are out of capacity in both Dogs and Cats, we no longer only have the costs of rent, medicine, food and maintenance of one place but two.
Which leads to our search for land to build our own place back on hold.
Probably when people return to work, when the economy goes up, adoptions go up, abandonments go down we can think about searching and buying our own land, for now all we have left is to keep helping with how little we have the hundreds of stray animals right now around us in the harbor.

we are happy to be able to help as we have during this time of crisis not only for stray animals but also for the muhas low-income families we have helped to keep their pets in their homes, while we recover.

Hope we can keep counting with your donations and one day we can say WE DID IT, WE OWN OUR OWN PLACE !

Thanks to all you   

Our rescue organiation has been working day by day to get our own space, we were woking on buying a piece of land and start develope step by step.

Unfortunately our plans had to change due to natural events, hurracane ETA arrived to Tela- Honduras and dragged part of our rented shelter, now we have to rebuild again until we could start over with the plans of getting our own space.

We had been able to help other abandoned and injured animals due to this catastrophic event, we will continue to work and helping stray dogs and we will need to put on hold the search for our forever home because as third world country it will take long to get the city back in their own feet, affecting everybody as well. 

Now more that before we will need your help most of our volunters have lose their home and business and it will be really hard for us to keep up with 40 dogs that we have as right and 21 cats, we were not rescue cats but due to circuntances we are trying to help with all needs for stray animals.
