You are what you eat
This year, as you can see, Dakota will be a chicken for Halloween, and her sister, Renita (also an adopted sato), will be a pig. If Patty wasn't such a good mom, I might comment, "Poor babies!" However, when it comes down to it, it doesn't get much cuter than dogs dressed up as chickens and pigs. Thanks for sharing, Patty. While Dakota does look a bit annoyed in the photos (Ha!), I couldn't be happier she continues to live the life she always deserved.
More news to come this weekend...I promise. There's A LOT going on. For an update right now, check out Liz's summary of recent events at the Arecibo shelter. Yup, there's trouble over there again. It's a mess: an inhumane, gut-turning mess. And, of course, Amigos de los Animales will be involved in making something, though we are working on what, happen. Arecibo Shelter In The News Again
Adopting a dog from Puerto Rico is not as complicated as it may sound. All it requires (after being rescued, cleaned up and properly medicated) is a health certificate from a local vet on the island to be shipped to the U.S.
Sponsoring a dog means making a donation that would go specifically to an animal of your choosing who is currently homeless, needing to be rescued, rehabilitated, given all appropriate shots and treatments, altered and loved in a foster home until he or she is ready to be shipped off to the U.S. to his or her new forever home or an animal shelter for adoption. The process requires at least $300 per dog, truly a small price to pay considering the end result.
For any more information about adopting and/or sponsoring please email: LosMachosSatos@gmail.com
