Welcome: Bandita! 🐕
Bandita is a tiny dog from the town of Santa Cruz, not far from us on the lake.

⚠️We now know, FOR A FACT, poison ☣️☠️ is being used by certain parties in and around the lake. 😨They seem to definitely be SPECIFICALLY targeting dogs. This is one of many reasons we do this:

☝️🔴 The dogs do not have lots of friends around the lake. There are many who do not like them and don't want them around.

🟠 Our rescue provides SHELTER and SANCTUARY from these heinous people and we took Bandita for this very reason: her siblings died from poison. ☠️

💛 This is the cause: we need to improve operations by expanding, with people available to JOIN our cause by signing up for the new puppy-foster network. You can help temporarily house these babies 💓 and help bring them happiness and a great life.

🟩 Bandita is currently adoptable!! 🌟
She is also FOSTER-ABLE with our new program! This will allow her to take the time she needs to get sterilized and then be ready for the perfect home.

🔷 We can work with you to get any dog you need STERILIZED at the next sterilization clinic! We are working together with other organizations to make this CONSISTENT and available for everyone.

💜 Reach out to save a dog today!

Another great day with Mr. Mullets! 🌟

After an awesome day with the volunteer crew from our partners Mr. mullets, we had an action-packed day at the dog sanctuary!

🟦 Clean the feeding area for the dogs
💜 And begin constructing a new roof extension!

What an absolutely amazing day! We're so grateful to have the help from the visitors from Mr mullet's hostel, and really appreciate the help and support that they give us.

⚠️Operation: Save the puppies! 🐕🐕🐕🚨
❗🔴 The sad truth is puppies are dying daily across all of the towns of Lake Atitlan.
🟠 Despite our sanctuary's existence having rescued over 150 dogs in 3 years cannot keep up with the high demand of requests for new rescues into our sanctuary, shelter, rehabilitation, and care.
🟨 We have a potential solution. A PUPPY FOSTER NETWORK 🛜👬👭👬👭👬👭 of people willing to accept puppies TEMPORARILY into their homes.
💚 That's what foster means: temporary housing.
🟦We as the organization hosting the foster program, will provide all necessary medicine 💊 and vaccines 💉 for the dog.
💟 The intention and goal is to have MORE accessible space to put dogs TEMPORARILY in the hands of loving people who are willing to assist in the cause of SAVING LIVES.

❗This is a serious responsibility we have in rescue, lives are delicate and in the balance. ⚖️
🫵 You can directly help these dogs and their livelihood.

⚠️ Please reach out if you want to know more and join the beta version of the "Save The Puppies" foster program!

Volunteer appreciation post: Brach! 🥳
Coming from the good ol' USA 🇺🇸, just like myself, is our amazing short-term volunteer Brach. He was able to come in with just barely fitting into our packed-up schedule, and we're so glad we let him in! What a super-joy it was to have him join our vagabond team! 😆
Despite a short visit, we had an immensely fun and productive time here together. Rescuing puppies, growing the team, cleaning the land and building new sinks and doggie beds have kept us VERY busy these last weeks! But our amazing team is up for the challenge 😎🙏🥇

Brach is a part of a cool and growing new start-up application called .hop, and brand-new application created to help travelers (like most of our volunteers) find cool places to stay that have been recommended by others who have been there. 👍✅

If you want to experience new forms of travel, 🧳 going to new countries on a budget 💲, then Hostel-hop can help you do that! 💫

THANK YOU Brach for the awesome time together and all your help. Good luck on your journey and come join us again anytime! 🙏

Another day, another puppy! 🤗
Hairless special pup from San-Pedro! 🐕

We have been lately in an extremely high-level amount of activity.
In the last month we've:
🔴 moved dogs all around Guatemala
🟠 gotten dogs specialist veterinary services
🟡 adopted dogs
💚 are constantly making steps to our improvement and expansion!

This pup, affectionately nicknamed "Mr. Burns" 😂 until a better name is found, is a special emergency rescue from a large litter in San Pedro.

Granted, there are many litters currently and constantly being born all around the lake in desperate need of rescue. However we are just the one location, one small group of rogue social workers, saving the few lives we can.

🟦 We need your help!
🟣 Dogs are dying daily around the lake. We rescued Mr. Burns simply because we couldn't bare to see him in his condition, alone in an unhappy puppy file off the finca road. But he is just one many.

⚠️ Call to action: let's make a puppy sanctuary! ⚠️
💫 We can use support building up this organization and need helpers in many facets. We also seek donations in order to help secure alternative area to build a new puppy sanctuary. It will have the ability to house lots of animals like Mr. Burns and many puppies like him.

If you want to reach out for any reason, and would like to potentially be involved, reach out to us today!
Thanks and have a great day. 🤗🙏

Simba: adopted!! 💫🥳🎉🎅🐕
With the neighbors we are building our relations. The locals know when they want a dog to adopt, we're the place to go!
We have a very nice neighbor who lives nearby who is trying to train a dog to stay at his house and help a company their family. They had a family dog who died not that long ago, and this is usually when families look for a new one. ✅

This adoption is a trial and potentially Simba could be traded out for a younger puppy, if he has difficulty training him to stay in his new home. This is the beauty of working together with the locals and neighbors, as you can work together to solve problems to help progress their goals and yours. 😌

This is a great day to get any dogs in the hands of another person, who is loving and also sees the dogs in the same vein as human children. Thank you for this great opportunity, and if you would like a dog from us please reach out today!

Happy princess Juno! 🏵️
Happy princess Juno is a special dog indeed,
The little tiny dog has everything she needs.
Taken very special care,
From the day she was in our care,
It's actually the first day she has ever been.
Such a sweet angel, 😇
She follows all the rules.
Although sometimes she likes to roll in p**p,
Or grab a diaper or two. 😝

She loves to run and play,
Truly she can go all day.
A very special dog,
In a very special place. 🏡🐕‍🦺🐕✅😌💫

❤️ Juno is the granddaughter of Perrita, Aaron's very first rescue dog, originally found before Perros Libres was even born. She is the daughter of Athena, Perrita's original litter, and now a "part of the family", a dog with a very special place in our hearts. 🐶💕

This is her after a lovely play session with her mama. 🙏💕🐶🐕😌

Food time! 😜
Doggies enjoy a delicious set of bowls of dry food 😁
No, it's not our FAVORITE kind of food to use, however it is the one we use the most. That is because it's cost efficient, generally good for the dogs, but requires hydration 💦 to get the proper actual full vitamin and mineral absorbtion possible for the dog's digestion. ✅

Here you see:
1. Khaki
2. Milagro 💫
3. Sammy
4. Perrita

With only special exceptions for Perrita, all these dogs are adoptable under correct circumstances.
Please DM for info if you want to adopt!
😌🙏🐶

The rescue puppies grow...🥹
What an incredible journey it is watching puppies grow.
From streets, to the sanctuary, and eventually to a home 🏡: the process is what takes the most time.

They rehabilitate well. They learn to play, to love, to make friends. The hardest part is getting them to want to leave 😅🌞🐶🥰

Once they go through the process of rehabilitation, they fall in love 💗 with this place, their friends, and their caretakers. That's why it can be so hard to find them homes, but also why it's good to get homes when they are young if possible.

This puppy yet has no name, no home, no sponsor, and just the friends he's made with us. Still recuperating and gaining strength, we don't know what they went through before getting into our hands exactly. They need strength, love, and compassion.

We love you little pup. Another life saved. 💗🙏

💫 Do you want to adopt/foster/or sponsor a rescue pup?
Reach out in our DMs!
Thanks, and have a great night. 💗🙂🐶

Thank you Mr. Mullets! 👊🎉
From the awesome town of San Pedro, Mr mullets hostel are partners with us to bring you an excellent volunteer experience, even for visitors! 😎

Every Wednesday is group volunteering day, where we have people come from San Pedro to visit and help us out for the day. It's a humongous help, a lot of fun, and we always get lots of extra things done on group volunteer days! 💖

So the big thank you is not just to ALL the volunteers that come through every week, but the biggest to ! They are super cool and amazingly helpful and beneficial to our organization. 🌟💯

As well thanks for all the volunteers who I know are in this photo: , .e, and ! If you want a tag but didn't get one, send me a message!

So many puppies! 😍
One of the greatest blessings of this job, is getting to play with puppies. 😛💕🐕
I don't think there's a single person on the planet Earth that does not like playing with puppies. ☝️
They're just too cute, too sweet, and just too much fun! 🙃🐕
We've had a lot of new Young puppies come our way this year, and in memory of Mr fuzz, they have gotten rapid vaccines thanks to our lovely lady from raise the woof: Julie! 😜

Thank you Julie for all your help with these puppies, and slowly but surely our puppies get healthier stronger and more prepared for the happy home 🏡🙏

Ever seen a dog play cards? ♦️🃏🙊
Well, one thing we've learned is that dogs like to do all kinds of interesting things.
Things that you would never expect a dog to do, they might actually do! They are so curious, inquisitive, interested, and observant! Dogs are truly a powerhouse of intellect and need to be further studied and understood. 🧠

This is little Sammy, by the way! 🐕
He's a happy pup we've been looking for a home for since he was a little boy. Sammy should now be reaching close to a full year old, and he is vaccinated and sterilized. 💉✂️

Sammy knows how to play fetch 🩼, walk on a leash 🐕‍🦺, catch a ball 🥎, and do lots of cute things that doggies do. He is absolutely ready for a home, and also has an adorable brother Sonny, who's also looking for a home!

Do you want to adopt or foster a dog with us?
Reach out, and maybe you can have a cute dog like Sammy play cards with you on a Saturday night 😛💞

We love you Sammy-boy! 🥰

Perrita dreams...😴
Perrita dreams of sunny days. 🌞
But in the rain 🌧️ Perrita often sleeps the day away.
When she wakes up, she wants to howl.
When she goes to sleep, she wants to snuggle.
When her babies play ⏯️, she wants to play.
When her babies are too annoying, she says to them to "go away!" 😂
Perrita dreams of yummy bones 🍖
Perrita dreams of taking the boat home 🛥️
Perrita really likes San Marcos,
Except when the street dogs come sniffing around.
She grew up there, free as a bird.
But now has a big sanctuary she can call her home. 🏡
Perrita dreams 🌌 of happy days,
But when she wakes up gets even happier ones anyway 😁🐕🦮🐕💕🌞

Artemisa is off to the city for help!! 🏙️🥹🐶👏👏
Thanks to excellent work by our veterinarian friends in San Pedro , Artemisa has been incredibly cleaned up, disinfected, medicated, and the closest she can get to healing in this condition. 😁✅
However, the big job is just beginning. Artemisa needs a specialists' care to "skin graft" and cover the exposed area of flesh and muscle 💪🐶.

We had a CRAZY early morning trying to get her from her location and then into a car and off to the specialists. she's still riding there with me and we'll be there within hours. 🐶🚐💁

We will update how she is and what they say. There is no doubt she will need atleast days (if not weeks?) of hospitalization to recover from this correctly.

Thank you to every donor and for every donation that has come in for Artemisa. I see all of the lovely notes and Artemisa has a BIG support team out there!! Thank you , , Pablo from Vetitlan, and everyone who is apart of her journey here now. You guys are amazing!! 😍

Rachel and Rommy! 😄🐶🙌
Here is Rommy on Rachel's head, 😂🐶🗣️
An excellent display of just the pure natural fun we have at the dog sanctuary.
Rachel is one of many new volunteers here ready to help the animals, and a nice part of our growing team and family. 😁 ✅

🐶 Rommy, as well (full name Romulus), is one of our newer puppies. VERY cute, very special, and everyone falls in love with her. What an alpha-girl, too! 😂

⏩ Everyday is a journey and adventure here. Thank you Rachel and everyone else who is involved at the Sanctuary! We cannot do it without you guys!

It's Angus! 😎
🔴 Welcome the coolest new addition to the Perros Libres team! ⚕️🌞
And as they say..."team work makes the dream work!" 😆
🟠 Angus has "leveled up" 🆙 from being a volunteer roughly a year ago, who loved the experience enough to come back and ask for a job!
🟡 Well, the mate pulled through amazingly as he's only been here a month and is the best doggie and volunteer manager we've had yet! ✅

🟢 Our team grows, new friends are made, old friends come back, and other friends just pass on through. The best friends are the ones that come back 🔙, and what a huge compliment to us!
🔵 Angus has excellent experience with animals as he's worked in multiple animal rescues or sanctuaries and has seen most of what there is to see in this type of environment. He's well-traveled and comfortable in this unique and rugged environment.

💜 Thank you Angus for being a part of the team. You're incredible aid and support has come at the most opportune time for our growth and expansion. We couldn't do it without you!

❗Save-the-puppies foster program! 👍🐕🌟 [☝️ Must be in Guatemala Sololá/Atitlan/Antigua area to qualify.] ⚠️ daily are puppies both being born and dying in the streets: homeless, hungry, and alone. 🔴We see the endless suffering of these animals and despite all the progress we've made, there is SO much more to do for these dogs. 🟠That's why we're beginning a brand new save the puppies Foster program.

How is Artemisa?? The updates finally here! Artemisa has SURVIVED surgery, and is doing amazing! 🤩🙏 I am on my way to Guatemala City to get her, as I type this. Shes coming home TODAY! Watch the video to see the details, a little clip of her post-surgery, and how fundraising is going! Thank you everyone who donated for her already, and see what our good work has done!! 💯👍🐶😁 #puppy #pupdate #artemisa #surgery #miracle #survive #success #medical #operation #dogrescue #dogsanctuary

Have you ever needed a video just to play when you want to be loud and annoying? 🤣 Well, I sure know some people would get a laugh out of it! 😉 These are my mom's two Chihuahua mixes, "Foxie & Minnie", doing their signature howl! 🫨🔊🐶🐶 These are her very own rescues from a shelter in Florida, and they have recuperated very well from their original state: in her loving care over 9 years now! 🗓️💫🤯 I just thought this was too cute 🥰😂😊 #chihuahua #cute #rescue #florida #howl #funny #dogs #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs

❗Artemisa update!! ⚠️ How is Artemisa?? 🤔 Finally has Artemisa come out of the local vet! The amazing vets at @clinicavetitlangt were able to clean her wound out immensely and give her proper high level antibiotic treatment! We just paid the full bill of all of this hard work! Despite the large amount of time and energy they have put in, they are not confident they are the experts to do a perfect skin grafting operation on this high level need dog. ❗ We have the specialist confirmed tomorrow! ✅⚕️We leave at 4:00 a.m. 🌞 and we'll get her all the way to the city. We will let you know how she does, in transit and at the hospital, and what we learn from there. 🥹👏 Thank you for your donations, so far artemisa's bill has been totally covered 👌✅ for this first part, but now the biggest operation comes next! A humongous appreciation to everyone who donated because artemisa has come really far already thanks to your help. 😁🙏💪🐶

🚨Artemisa is in trouble! 😵‍💫 🔴 In a very horrible freak accident, Artemisa has been attacked by a pack of dogs! 🟠 We explain in the video how this happened, but Artemisa is currently at the vet under intensive care, but needs to go to a specialist! 😲 🟡 This is very reminiscent of the Milagro incident, where we have a dog with such severe injuries our local vets are not capable of solving her issue. We need the city specialists! ⚕️🧑‍⚕️🐶 🟢 The same challenges from them are the same now. We need to find 1. A private driver who can take her in a way where her injuries will not be bothered. 2. An estimation of time, cost, and capability for her to heal. 3. The specialist to agree to take on the job! 🔵 As well, the sooner we can do this the better. The wound may not be able to properly heal in the environment of the veterinarians care unit. They need even stronger support to properly heal and save her life. 💜 The donation link is right in our Instagram bio, as well as on our website. DM if you have any questions or need any support for any form of money💲transfer. We accept US 🇺🇸 bank transfer, Guatemalan 🇬🇹 bank transfer, paypal, venmo, and I think that's it. Message for Bank transfer details. ✅👌 ✴️⚕️🙏Prayers for baby Artemisa!

How is Mr. Fuzz? ⭕🐶 Well, not so good. Mr. Fuzz has passed away this morning, as of 09:00 am on this 8th of November. ✝️🐶😭 This is very hard for all of us, but it is a part of the rescue life. Thank you to everyone who donated for him, his vet bill was covered and your extra donations will allow us to cover another puppies (Artemisa's) medical bills as she got into a nasty scuffle yesterday as well. We also have a new puppy that literally came today, weirdly on time to soften the blow of the loss of Mr. Fuzz. 😔💔 You can see the new puppy on the cover and in the video. 🐶🎥 Thanks for those who supported us and continue to do so for our efforts and for the dogs in our care.
