Away from cities there is a sanctuary at a highland in Costa Rica where hundreds of dogs are roaming freely. It is located about 30 km from san jose. These dogs are more than 800 in number. These are street dogs and rescued here.
The sanctuary is open to everyone for some days in a month. Here one can find every kind, size or age dog. Normally the street dogs bites but here they are all friendly and loving. They play with each other but by seeing any human all dogs come and surround that person and begin to play with him/her. Due to the friendly nature people visit here see it and also adopt it and also donate money.
These dogs eats about 10000 kilos food in a month in which 6000 kilos food is donated by food company each month. The rest is purchased. There are few volunteers and few paid caretaker look after these dogs.
All these dogs are vaccinated. Dogs are loving animals they have feelings like humans . They know forgiving and loving . unlike street dogs which are abused here one can see their love. A person who lay down they will lick your face or hand. Here each dog has a shelter and name. Around each month 40 to 50 dogs are adopted.
