Imagine a sanctuary where over 1,800 stray dogs roam freely in the lush mountains of Costa Rica, living lives filled with joy and dignity. Join us as we uncover the remarkable journey of Territorio de Zaguates, a haven founded by Lya Battle and Álvaro Saumet, where love and compassion reign supreme. From spaying and neutering to rehabilitating even the most aggressive dogs, this episode promises to inspire with heartwarming tales of transformation and second chances for our furry friends.
Legislation and government hurdles present significant challenges, but they also ignite our determination to push for change. We explore how countries like the Netherlands serve as models for tackling stray dog populations, while also addressing the ongoing scrutiny faced by Lya's  farm. Through community support and small daily acts of compassion, we emphasize the importance of spreading love—both to animals in need and our own pets—creating a kinder world where every dog receives the care they deserve.
