Help Us Recover and Continue Our Mission of Saving Lives

The recent storm devastated our shelter, forcing us into an emergency move, replacing spoiled food, transporting animals, and facing mounting vet bills. Despite these challenges, our commitment to helping abandoned, injured, and neglected animals remains steadfast.

Why Your Support Matters
In just one month, we made a difference for five Ecuadorian families who couldn’t afford to spay their large female dogs. By covering the $400 cost, we helped prevent the suffering of countless unwanted puppies—most of whom would have faced neglect and certain death. Every act of spay and neuter reduces pain and suffering exponentially.

Our mission goes beyond prevention. We also provide critical emergency care for abused and injured dogs. But with an outstanding veterinarian bill and ongoing expenses, we need your help to recover from this crisis and continue our lifesaving work.

How You Can Help
Join us on Saturday, January 25th, at the Organic Market to support Amigos de Animales. Come and enjoy our delicious homemade products—all proceeds go directly to helping animals in need:

Tomato Chili Sauce - TBD
Bread & Butter Pickles - $10
Fresh Mango Chutney - $10
Confiture of Mango & Passion Fruit - TBD
Plus, don’t miss our baked goods:

Apple Pie - $2.50
Dog Cookies - $1.00
Panela Toffee Cookies - $1.00
Every purchase you make helps us save lives and continue providing essential care to animals and families who need us most. Together, we can rebuild after the storm and ensure no animal is left behind.

Thank you for being part of this mission. See you at the market!

Help us rebuild after the storm!

Dear Friends and Animal Lovers,
In the wake of a devastating storm, our small dog shelter was destroyed. The heartache of seeing the destruction was only matched by the incredible determination of the Ecuadorian volunteers and workers who stepped up in this time of crisis. Their quiet and steady rescue mission was nothing short of awe-inspiring: walking through deep mud and water, carrying heavy fencing and 30-pound propane tanks over 1.5 kilometers of narrow, slippery paths, and gently transporting frightened dogs to safety. These selfless individuals remind us of the power of community and compassion.

Now, we turn to you, our extended community, for support. To rebuild and ensure the safety and well-being of these rescued dogs, we need your help. Here’s how you can make a difference:
• Donate funds to cover transportation, veterinary care, and construction costs.
• Contribute supplies such as food, blankets, leashes, collars, and harnesses.

You can drop off donations at:
• UFO (donation box)
• La Baguette(donation box)
• AMI Vet Dr. Marianne's clinic (donation and supply drop-off) El Hatillo entre Bolivar y Valle Sagrado
• Tienda Andre on the main road in Vilcabamba (supply drop-off)

Your generosity will directly impact the lives of these vulnerable animals and help us maintain a safe haven for them. Together, we can overcome this challenge and continue our mission to protect and care for abandoned and neglected animals.

Thank you for opening your hearts to this cause. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a brighter future for these dogs.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Amigos de Animales

Amigos de Animales is faced with an emergency as two nights ago the river destroyed a refuge which sheltered 11 dogs and 4 puppies. Thankfully only two dogs sustained minor injuries but they are traumatized and they have been evacuated and taken to a new location.

If anyone can donate, however small an amount, to replace dog beds, blankets, food dishes, bags of dog food, roofing, dog houses and fencing, Amigos, made up of a handful of Ecuadorians and expats would be tremendously grateful.

You can find donation boxes at UFO, La Baguette, or Dr Mariana’s vet clinic. And see us at the market this Saturday as we've been busy baking and cooking up delights to raise money.

We also need:
* clean blankets
* collars
* leashes
* cleaning supplies
* bucket
* mop
* broom
* volunteer carpenters to make simple dog houses.

Thank you on behalf of the dogs!

Cinders and her mother Bella were rescued by Amigos de Animales volunteers who climbed a steep mountain path to save them from being hung by a farmer.

The man's 9 yr old granddaughter approached us begging us to save them; their only mistake was being unspayed. Bella had just given birth and he wanted the pups to die without their mother. We rescued all. 6. The pups have found loving homes.

Bella and Cinders are both now spayed, VERY good guard dogs, extremely affectionate, clean and can be adopted separately.

Hello good people of Vilcabamba. My name is Chiquita because I am. Chiquita... small. I had a hard start in life, being left to fend for myself at a garbage dump outside of town . I was so scared. It was raining hard and I had nowhere to shelter. I ate grasshoppers and moths to stay alive. Then Amigos de Animales came to the garbage dump and when they called me I knew I was going to be ok. I would like to snuggle with a special human . I'm healthy and very loving. Can you find it in your heart to give me a home? Or sponsor my food for 10.00 a month?

Chiquita is spayed ..a wonderful companion who doesn't need a lot of space

This beautiful affectionate girl was taken to the vet to be euthanized. The vet wouldn't do it. There is nothing wrong with her health.
She was left at the vet for flea treatment but the owners never returned.

So she is crying and missing her family.
She's good with other dogs and has been shampooed and treated for fleas, so they're all gone.

The vet will spay this sweet dog at no cost and give her follow up checks for fleas.
Can you foster her until she's given a home or adopt her please?

Amigos de Animales is looking for a temporary foster place for this small dog who was left tied up in Sacapo when his owners escaped the fires. He chewed through his rope and made it down to Vilcabamba where our volunteers are feeding and watering him.and treating his sore paws. He's good with other dogs and ignores cats. He is going to Dr Mariana tomorrow for a checkup and will be bathed.

Can you give him a chance?

Charlie, a young purebred Black Labrador, was found starving and despondent on the streets of Loja by an American tourist who contacted Amigos de Animales to see if we could help.

Charlie is a happy boy now, loving and protective. He needs a home with good fencing just to stop him exploring and he obeys basic training commands. He has been living with other dogs and would enjoy walks and daily games with a ball.
