Flacka on his day off. 😁
Every dog deserves his day.
Every dog deserves to go outside, and get some rest.
Life in a sanctuary is hard and sometimes bearing down on the inhabitants, if they are not happy or lacking basic needs.

So, sometimes, a dog has to have a day off.

Volunteer appreciation post: Eric! 😁💫💥
Eric showed up at a time most chaotic here at Perros Libres. The locals were banging down our door and asking us to "keep it down". Eric saw that things were not so simple, here in "doggie paradise". 😅
The challenges here have gotten only bigger over the years. Eric, being quite a young volunteer and new to experiences like this, got to experience challenge involunteering unlike probably anywhere before.

Despite this, Eric stuck it out for quite some time and helped us get through one of the hardest times we've ever had. We give our thanks to Eric, and all volunteers like him, who despite being surprised with challenges and rough patches are willing to give their fullest effort.

Let his experience be one that speaks to all: if you come to a dog sanctuary, be prepared to work hard. Imagine what it's like roughing it out in the wilderness, building your own fence, digging your own compost, and hustling and bustling all over a Mountainside in order to have dog food and human food sufficient for survival. This was not an inaccurate description of what our time has been like here.

Eric surely could tell the story well, from an interesting perspective. If you want a real hard yet awesome experience volunteering where it counts, please reach out to us. We want the tough, the strong, and the willing.

Thank you.

New Sanctuary space! 🥹🙏🐕💫
🔴 Here we are in new designated space for our beautiful babies!
🟠 Getting set up has taken an entire month. But the dogs are safe and secure!
🟡 Our new changes have had a very positive effect on the dogs. However, we need more help breaking them into new space! (Hello dog walkers? 🐕‍🦺🚶‍♀️)
🟢 There are so many ways to help our cause at this time! Volunteering, promoting dog adoption, dog walking, and organizing events like adoption fairs!
⚠️❗️We can use donations of materials: dog crates, bowls, leashes, medicine (nexgards, flea meds), blankets, towels, and building materials are VERY welcome right now!
🔵 We have 30 dogs on this new location: and if you've ever wished to help rescue dogs, we can use your assistance now more than ever!
🟣 Would you be interested in joining our family of dog heroes? We need you!

Me and Linda: a very special dog 🦴🐕‍🦺🤗💫

STATS
age: 1 year + some months
Status: sterilized/vaccinated
Tempermant: gentle yet playful and excitable. Not a biter but a 'nibbler' 🤣
Breed: Husky/Akita mix
Adoptable! ✅️

Linda has an interesting backstory. While I was on a Rescue Mission in Antigua, I stayed at a house of some friends and supporters of our rescue. I had found out that they too were rescuing dogs, which is something that has given unique challenges for all of us in this type of social work. 😅

They had found Linda as a young pup, beautiful as she is, wondering the streets of Antigua looking for a home.🥺🐕 Despite the fact that they did not have an open large Sanctuary space, they opted to take her in as she really needed someone.

When I met her and stayed with one of the two people running the new rescue operation, Linda and I got to bond very strongly. I felt a special connection with her and she wanted to follow me out the door as I was leaving every day. I asked the both of them is if it was okay, and they gave me their blessing to take Linda to the sanctuary of ours in Tzununa.

Thank you so much Hannah for allowing us the opportunity to raise and train this beautiful, special girl. And for her sponsorship 🙏✅️🐕‍🦺

Rescue dogs bring their own unique types of challenges, and Linda is a special one indeed. She has a very lovely personality and temperament, but need special love and attention like husky types do. She can play fetch, knows a few basic commands like sit and wait, and we'll make an excellent addition to any family. However it needs to be known Huskies need a lot of attention and exercise, and are Hunter types which can chase cats or chickens and potentially even kill them. This is important to know as an adopter would need to be aware of the breeds personality traits.

Would you like to give Linda a special home? If so, we will accept applications in our inbox or DM. Send a message today.

Sleepyhead Perrita in the new sanctuary...💤😴
➡️A lot has happened at Perros Libres in the last few weeks. We have been shuffling around Tzununa moving dogs into a new Sanctuary space.

Though this is a goal we have long been waiting to achieve, it came in an unexpected and you can say 'rushed' way. We were asked to move dogs into a new space once acquired, and were asked to do to do it in a relatively short time. However, out of the mud the lotus blooms. 🌸

The dogs are both happier and safer, as well as quieter, in the new Sanctuary space. It's proven to be a benefit to all parties and we are much the happier for it. Thankfully it did not take a lot of funding to provide the switch, and we're grateful for all our ability to overcome challenges, frustrations, roadblocks and disagreements. We are an organization of a diplomatic nature, and seek to find solutions for any and all conflicts that reside in our area.

Thank you to everyone who have supported us over the years and into this new year aswell. It's time to make a better world for all the animals! We are so blessed to continue working in Guatemala with the dogs and the local community too.

If you'd like to get involved into our new year developments, please reach out. We're developing further programs to get dogs out of the country, and adopted and happy homes both here and abroad. We can use help in organizing and building our team. If you've ever wanted to be a part of animal rescue, now is an excellent and exciting time.

Pedro: adopted!! 😁🥳🐕
Once beginning the new sanctuary, we started to meet a lot more people! We got a new set of workers who have helped us secure the fence and make a safe new dog sanctuary!

Once Juan Miguel here met Pedro, he admired him from a distance until he worked up the courage to ask me if he was for adoption. I told him that he has the potentiality, but we will check and make sure that he's a good owner and follow up with Pedro occasionally. The great news: he's local! Pedro will now live down the street from us with an entirely new family to love him. ✅️🐶🌟

It is a win-win when we can adopt with the local people from our village. It builds bonds of trust and friendship, and word continues to spread that there is a healthy place to adopt dogs in our town. We want all the locals to come visit and see how beautiful the dogs are!

Thank you Juan Miguel, Diego who helps Pedro get help from the rest of the family, and all of supporters who make this happen!

And thank you to Pedro's sponsor .dalkowski for helping make Pedro's dreams come true! 🌟🐕🙏

Remy: adopted!! 😆🥳💫
Word on the street is, we have dogs to adopt. When Nicholas here, who is a cousin of our worker Diego, heard that we have lots of adorable puppies he reached out. He works here in our local Tzununa, and maintains a long-term relationship with us as they go back and forth collecting coconuts from the coast.

We love when we adopt dogs with healthy happy local families. This is the ultimate kind of adoption because it gives directly back to the community whose Land We Share. It is a blessing and an honor to get to work here and to help improve the lives of people that live in guatemala, with the beautiful animals whom we all know deserve love.

Thank you Nikolas and Diego who is helping us secure more adoptions with amazing locals! Thanks guys, and we'll see you soon Remy!

If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, please reach out. We have MANY in need of adoptions, fosters, or any happy friendly companion. Save a dogs life today.

Doggies: sit! 🌟🐕
This is a photo of me and the first three doggies we brought to the adoption fair. From left to right:
1. Milagro
2. Sammy
3. Bronson

Every one of these dogs was looking for a home that day, and none of them found a one. These dogs are trained on a very basic level, they are least trained, they can do a couple basic tricks like sit, they can wait for food, and they have excellent recall and fetchabilities.

¡Perros Libres y Vetitlán están trabajando juntos para salvar a los perros! 🙏🐶🌟
Vetitlán es un excelente Servicio Veterinario profesional en San Pedro, y ofrece todo lo que hace un veterinario en nuestro familiar mundo occidental. Hablan tanto español como inglés, y tienen un servicio muy amable y un personal dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier problema relacionado con el perro 🐶 (o gato🐱). Se han ofrecido a aceptar donaciones en nuestro nombre en su ubicación en San Pedro, y puedes dejar una bolsa de comida, una correa, un arnés, un juguete para perros, una donación monetaria o absolutamente cualquier cosa que quieras regalar a los perros rescatados. Dog Libras está atravesando actualmente un cambio grande e intenso. Estamos pidiendo a los partidarios de todo el lago que se comuniquen si apoyan la causa de un santuario para perros. ¡Este es un lugar desafiante para tener éxito en nuestra misión y nunca termina! Los perros necesitan cada vez más apoyo a medida que aumentan los ataques contra ellos y todavía les suceden cosas terribles a los perros en la calle.

English: Perros Libres & Vetitlan are working together to save the dogs! 🙏🐶🌟
Vetitlan is an excellent professional Veterinarian Service in San Pedro, and they offer everything a vet does in our familiar Western world. They speak both Spanish and English, and have a very friendly service and staff willing to help with any dog 🐶 (or cat🐱) related issue.
They have offered to accept donations on our behalf in their location in San Pedro, and you can leave a bag of food, a leash, harness, dog toy, monetary donation or absolutely anything you would like to give to the rescue dogs!
Perros Libras is currently undergoing a big and intense change. We are asking for supporters from all around the lake to reach out if they support the cause of a dog sanctuary. This is a challenging place to succeed in our mission, and it never ends! The dogs need more and more support as the attacks on them have grown, and terrible things still happen to dogs in the street.

Puppy needs a home!!🫨🐶
A good samaritan here (named Karlissa) came up to us today with this puppy, whom we had to inform we cannot take into our own rescue. We get requests like this all the time and have to turn away puppies everyday because we and all the other rescues on the lake are full. 😳

The situation with stray dogs and puppies is an actual epidemic in this area of the world. We are on the Forefront of a cultural War to take care of them and show the world that dogs can be healthy happy and safe, in the right context and environment. 🐕

If you've ever wanted to get involved in animal work, dog rescue, or just want to help this little puppy here then please reach out today. We use our words with full intention when we say this is a war, and the ones we want to win are the dogs. Dog sanctuaries and dog rescues have a right to exist in every part of the world where there are sick and malnourished animals. Even if we are battered, pushed against, and even asked not to do what we do best we will work harder for these animals.❤️‍🔥

Can you help us by maybe saving this one little innocent puppy? Are sanctuaries overloaded with dogs currently and there's never been a better time to adopt, sponsor or foster a dog. ☝️

🚨Juana has been seen! ⚠️🤯
In an incredible turn of events, Juana, the dog who went missing near Panajachel on our special outing has been seen in Tzununa!

By our very own Angus, who recently has left, on his way out sent me this picture not sure why this dog was looking at him so funny. He is ACTUALLY the Juana and we are so amazed to see him alive. 💜

However he has not yet been captured, and is still loose! If you see him PLEASE contact us right away. We are looking for him on the daily and would very much like to take him home. 🏡

Thanks and have a great night.

And this lovely volunteer named Jessica along with other friends of theirs came by and helped all the puppies this day of volunteering. Thanks Jess and friends!
Puppies for the win! ✋🐕👏👏❤️

♦️Hey: adopt me!! 🌞
🟠 I'm Sammy-boy! 🐕
🟡 Sammy is one of the cutest of the cute. Volunteers and visitors every day fall in love with Sammy all over again. Him and his brother Sonny were born nearby in our village in zuna, but then passed over to us.
🟢 Despite being completely full at the time, with the locals asking us nicely we could do nothing but open our arms to these little puppies. 😅✅
💙 Sunny and Sammy now are both over a year old, vaccinated and sterilized, very trainable and quite domesticated as well!

🟣 These dogs are just perfect for a brand new home. Either Sammy alone or with the two of them as a pair. Sunny will get his own lovely post as they are both very individual and wonderful pups.

⚠️ If you'd like to adopt Sammy, or even just temporarily Foster, please reach out. The dog Sanctuary is an extreme need of adopting dogs now more than ever. Can you help us out, even if only temporarily taking a dog as beautiful as Sammy?
If so, reach out today!

🟡 If you possibly want one of our many beautiful dogs taken all the way to your own home: it is possible! (Ask us how!)
🟢 Every dog adopted is a dog saved. ✅
💙 Are you in Guatemala, and want one of our dogs? If so, we can arrange to have a dog transported all the way to you, even as far as Guatemala City!

Adopt me: Pitaya! 🌟
📃 Facts:
Age: 3 years ☑️
Condition: healthy/vaccinated/sterilized. ✅
Training: high-level leash trained. But not very good with off-leash. Has a "prey drive" for chickens 🐓.❌
Personality: extremely friendly and a funny dog. She is a great protector and should be handled with care, and in a home with basic dog-training and experience. 👍

❤️ Pitaya is a special dog with a special story. She is the single only dog that was ever given to us through the help of the local police! 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🚓
🟠 She was, in fact, a severe neglect case. She was tied up for extremely long periods of time, in a condition that is considered abusive by Guatemalan legal standards.
🟡⚠️ Believe it or not: Guatemala has excellent laws protecting dogs and giving them rights. However, the downside is there is virtually no enforcement of this at all. 😢

🟢 Here's where you can help! You can help Pitaya get adopted! 🙌
💙 Pitaya is one of the dogs with the most need for a home out of all of our dogs. For this we can say she's one of the highest priorities for homes: she does not like fireworks, she is afraid of local people for obvious reasons, and would be much much happier in a domesticated space and a happy family.
🟣 Call to action: there are many ways you can help Pitaya find a home:
1. Share this post with friends, share to your story, or write your own post showing this beautiful dog who needs a home.
2. Reach out to us if you're local (or not!) but want to help in more technical, online, or networking/fundraising volunteer work. There may even be paid 💲opportunities!
3. Donate to our cause via our website, and you can say: "for Pitaya's home".

**ANY donations received for Pitaya will be used in the campaign for her adoption. If we receive donations specifically for her, we can target ads to the United States 🇺🇸 or fund a local adoption event just to help these dogs find homes. 🏡🙌❤️

If you have any questions about Pitaya, her needs, or how you can help with us, please reach out today!

Meet Sox, your new cuddly best friend! Sox is a 1-year-old female who’s bursting with joy and ready to light up your life. This lady has the warmest and most silly personality and would do anything to climb her way into your lap. Sox is extremely food motivated and thus very eager to learn.
She would love to accompany you on walks, aventures, and let her playful side come out but can be distracted by chickens on the run.

Her cuddly nature makes every moment with her a joy. She’s a confident and affectionate girl who thrives in social settings and is always smiling. Sox is friendly with everyone she meets, including cats, and would flourish in a home with a yard where she can run and play.

Her ideal home would be one where her new family is active, and she’d be happy in a busy household with kids. Ready for training, Sox’s good leash manners are just the beginning. Sox has so much love to give. .’

You can adopt Sox today for free! Let us know if you have any questions.

Lovely day yesterday! Thank you for your donations 🙏 Doggies already eating better 🐶🍖🥩😁 #guatemala #dogsanctuary #dogrescue #dogs #rescuedogs #vlog

New Sanctuary up! ✅️ ⚠️Assistance with funding needed 🙏 🔴 Hi guys, we have been working very hard on the new Sanctuary space and moving the dogs into it. As this process has come to completion, funding has gotten dangerously low and we need assistance to buy dog food. 🟠 under our normal system with one sanctuary and all the dogs in one place, we have always been able to feed all the dogs and keep everything orderly and organized. However, now we are in two places and just finished developing the fencing and gate for the new place. 🟡 If you are able to help by making a donation today, you're donation would immediately be able to be used to feed our dogs! 🐕🙏🍖 🍏 Thank you to ALL our supporters who have cocntinously empowered us to do this work! 🔵 The Sanctuary needs your help now more than ever! There are so many ways to help besides donating, we can also use materials like towels blankets dog leashes dog harnesses dog beds, building materials like wood or bamboo, and even just direct dog food or human food! As well of course, the most valuable thing anyone can give is their time by volunteering. 🟣 If you would like to be a part of the dog sanctuary Journey, or help support us in any way at this time, Please reach out today! #help #assistance #guatemala #nonprofit #dogsanctuary #charity #socialwork #fundraising #ayuda #perros #dogrescue

Linda: the beautiful Husky mix! 💫Adoptable!✅️🐕‍🦺 Linda is a special girl with a special story. Recently during the holidays she caught mange, but is on the mend. Nexgard ✅️ has got to be one of the most useful pills for us here. We were able to afford some for Linda thanks to her sponsor. But truth is every dog should have a sponsor, so they never lack for anything! Linda is an amazing dog with an amazing temperment. Who just like all of our rescue dogs, really needs a home. Would you be interested in fostering or adopting Linda? Reach out to find out how! #adopt #dogs #adoption #perros #adoptar #rescuedogs #rescates #husky #dogsofinstagram

Happy dogs in the new sanctuary! Come see the new setup as we prepare the dogs in a new space. #sanctuary #dogrescue #guatemala #volunteer

Changing it up! A new location means new routines, new strategies, and new people! We are a little short on volunteers lately, and need help with some basic things like getting groceries. If you're able to possibly help us even by volunteering for just a couple hours, we would appreciate your help! And if you've ever wanted to volunteer at our dog sanctuary with free housing, send us a DM! Minimum 2 weeks. Thanks and have a great day! #volunteer #guatemala #dogsanctuary #savethedogs

Looking for homes for dogs! 🌟 While we are expanding into new Sanctuary space, and minimizing dogs in the original Sanctuary space, it's become increasingly more relevant and important for us to adopt or Foster dogs. The doggies are safe and secure, but they are not yet used to a new space, and this is a truly perfect opportunity to transition them into any new living space! This is the best time ever to get a dog from Perros Libres, as they are in humongous need for a place of their own!🐕➡️🏘 If you can, please help us find new homes for these incredible animals. We need your help! If you'd like a dog from us, reach out today. #adoption #dogs #dogsanctuary #guatemala #perros

Developing new space! More dogs looking to be adopted! Seeking new volunteers for February+March! Reach out if you want to know more, and join our doggie-family! 🤠 #dogrescue #dogwarriors #rescuelife #dogsanctuary #dogs #guatemala #nonprofit #grassroots

We need dog warriors! 🐕💪🤠 This has been a trying time for us over at Perros Libres. Despite making rapid change, and moving the dogs with Incredible swiftness, we work harder still to secure and protect the dogs. This has been hard on all of us, and our group morale has been damaged. We need to Rally the support of those who care about us and love us to help us succeed in caring for the animals that need it. Where are our strong dog Warriors? This is a call to arms. If you've ever wanted to make a difference in helping save the lives of animals, there's never been a better time than now. #letsgo #dogwarriors #guatemala #tzununa #dogrescue #dogsanctuary #volunteer
