I think we can create unique content with the Ray Ban Meta glasses. Do you have a used pair around the office that you could send us so we could do this? @alexschultz @Meta

And knowing this mischievous old boy, we’re sure he’ll give us plenty of stories to tell in the days to come. 🐾

We’re so happy to share some good news! 🧡
Minimus came out of surgery without any complications.
A few days ago, we took him for a medical check-up and, to our surprise, the vets told us they could admit him for surgery the very next day.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

He was hospitalized, underwent the procedure, and has already been discharged.
Minimus is a senior dog, and a surgery at this stage of his life always carries some risk. Still, we trust that his recovery will go smoothly.

A few days ago, we were notified about this little friend, who people seem to know as Canelo.
We went to pick him up and took him straight to the vet.
Canelo has an old fracture in his front leg, which limits his mobility a bit, though it’s not causing any major issues for now.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

he caused the hematoma in his ear.
The vets recommended an eye enucleation surgery, but first, we need to help him regain some weight and strength, since he’s extremely thin right now.
We’re starting Canelo’s journey to recovery.

That’s why we need everyone’s support. A huge thank you to all who already help us and make it possible to keep saving lives.

Thank you, thank you so much for your donations!
Every kilo counts! 🧡
Every day, we go through over 960 kilos of dry food and 140 to 190 cans of meat to feed our furry friends. Keeping all the residents of Territorio de Zaguates Costa Rica well-fed is a truly titanic effort.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

At least, she spent her last hours surrounded by love: with warm milk, honey, gentle cuddles, and she left this world in our arms, feeling loved.
Endless thanks to the people who didn’t leave her alone and chose to help her. Every life matters. Help us keep trying.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

Sometimes, even when we give absolutely everything in a rescue, we can’t save them… and it breaks our hearts.
Rescuing dogs is a joint effort, and that’s why we need more people to step in and not remain indifferent.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

A few days ago, we had to say goodbye to this little one who was in critical condition. We raced against time, but sadly, we couldn’t make it.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

We recently rescued these little ones and their mom.
It wasn’t easy at all, this brave mama was fiercely protecting her babies.
Luckily, they’re now safe with us, getting healthy and chubby, and hopefully ready to find a loving family soon. 🐾

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

With your support, we can keep rescuing and transforming lives like Poncho’s. Consider donating and be part of his recovery: https://t.co/IK73qFFLHl

This new #Territorian arrived in very tough condition: injured, extremely thin, shy, and scared. And yet, he behaves so well and shows just how noble he is. 💔🐶
We’ve named him Poncho,

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

and starting today he’ll begin a nutrition and care plan to help him regain the weight and strength he deserves.
It’s heartbreaking to see how the irresponsibility of so many people leads to suffering for such innocent beings. But here we are, ready to give him a second chance.

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

Kira is a true fighter. Although we’ve managed to control the screwworms, her wounds remain a big challenge and her recovery is moving slowly.
With your help, we can give her the chance to heal and be happy again. 🐶✨

Unfortunately, because of the screwworm attack, Aurelio lost the vision in his left eye. We’ll continue to monitor his recovery and see what other challenges may come up.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for the support. 🧡

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

Look how well Aurelio is doing!
We rescued him on July 18th in a condition you can hardly imagine.

Our team is simply amazing, and so is the honey a dear friend gave us. What you see under his little eye is dried honey:

[Lya from Territorio de Zaguates @LandofStrays]

María Fernanda treats him with honey and a few other things, then bandages him up, like a little mummy,for 24 hours. After that, he spends 12 hours uncovered, and the cycle starts again. And it’s working wonderfully!
