One banana tree down is the only damage we had. So grateful.All dogs are in their kennels, very quiet.Princessa is doing her daily rounds.Tigre and Viva have their dry place in the back but want to always see the action...Years ago rains ere very dramatic for us, with the whole back mountain slide, flooding..it took lots of time and effort to clear all that but ever since we had no more issues.
On rainy days dogs eat and stay put.If we have a hurricane they all go inside..I know these are the lucky ones if I think of how many still are on the streets.
Thank you to all the friends that allow us to keep helping.

Doña Sonia in action.The food will not last forever but at least will bring some relief.

The dog thought it was all for him😀😀
Doña Sonia yesterday preparing the bags with dog food to give away.
How can we spread the food...by finding compassionate animal lovers in the communities which in turn know well the needs and the people.
I wish I could help more with the spaying/neutering and medical like TVT and vaccines but the costs are too high for our little shelter.
The transportation cost for all the food received can only cover the spaying of 2 dogs...200$ a female.
So all I can do is give the food away when available.

I met this lady 10 years ago...she had a dog with a terrible cancer on his paw.I called him Nino.Nino was hard to deal with because he had too much pain. At first we amputated 2 toes but it didn't work so then the whole leg too in order to save his life.
Nino lived till the end with us about 4 years more.
I loved him dearly....
Today the same lady received dog food and this is her humble home.Not really hers, she is the caretaker so she can live rent free.She is alone..with the cats and dogs only.
She is older, more bent but still cats and dogs live in her shack.
She is just one of the many people who received the pet food.
To whom much is given much is required from...deffinitely it is a blessing being able to share.

Everyday same thing.....especially on cruiseship days when buses, taxies, workers hurry more.
For an empath to see this while driving it just simply brakes your heart.
What is happening to people?Why these hearts so hardened?
Hungry, skin on bones, afraid and alone....that is no way to die for anyone human or animal.Not even the decency to stop and bury him.
But why would I marvel...the other day an expat ran 2 dogs over on different occasions,maiming both while the owner was walking the dog and left behind the second dog with a broken back.The guy never stopped.He even ran twice over the dog...so it is not a matter of culture or nationality..it is a lack of heart.
This is the other side of Roatan, seems the bigger the road the less compassionate people are.Maybe it was better before, less "progress" and more heart.

rumi
The baby bed bought at Megapaca day 1..Megapaca is a large secondhand store like Goodwill.
Rumi is a beautiful 5 years old, 50lbs male, neutered, healthy and very loving.
He needs a home.There are plenty of animals who need homes on Roatan and all of them are special..Rumi needs only 1 person to say yes.
No adoption fee, just a loving home.
Why adopt from IDR?Because they have no behavioral issues, because they are treated well which makes them easy to adjust in a home.
All the difficult stages or the sad stories of the rescuing is behind them.They just need a second chance...

Emma
Emma the tripod not knowing what to do ....but she did no harm to the little one.
The little one was adopted and gets all the attention she neeeded.
I still hope someone will adopt Emma....but having 3 legs in a world that looks for perfection is hard. No local will ever adopt her....and local people told me that...
