Scabby!
My name is Scabby :) I'm a puppy who was found at 5-months by Aaron, born right on the streets of Tzununa. I was found with a very severe case of mange, as well as fleas and ticks. After many baths, lots of food, and being given lots of medicine I have been healed and fully recovered with a full, beautiful coat of fur, and happy life! I'm the dog that found Aaron, and he found me: and I showed him what it means to rescue a dog! :)
Perrita!
Perrita was the first dog we ever saw come off the street into a happy home right before our eyes. She was found from a local breeder from Santiago named Mario, and lived decently but on a diet of only tortillas. She was adopted by a friend after she approached us to help find veterinarian help for her. Within weeks of adoption, she began to exhibit very ill signs and turned out to have a case of Distemper. With immediate care and then constant love and protection, she has happily made a full recovery!
She now lives on the dog-sanctuary full time and is a mother, a protector, and guardian of the sanctuary and is a protector of the innocent.
Pepé!
Pepé was our very first adoptee! He was found literally a month old on our very doorstep (no joke) by my roommate. After caring for him for 2 weeks, this boy who is our neighbor asked if we had "any small dogs" for him and his family. This was just before we legally formed, but now he brings Pepe over a couple times a week to show us how big he's gotten! He lives happily adopted in Tzununa with this loving family.
Surya!
Surya is an approximately 8-year old Silver Labrador, an extremely unique and specific breed from a place of often very mixed dogs: Tzununa. Born in Tzununa but has travelled all the way to the U.S. and back: he’s one of our greatest dogs at Perros Libres. He’s our pack leader, and an extremely intelligent dog on all levels. Surya loves to run, play, and is a high-energy dog even for his age; so he would be best with a very active owner who likes to be outside, hike, travel, and the like. As one of our most valued dogs in the pack, we’d only want him to go to a highly-qualified dog owner who knew how to handle such an incredible and intelligent dog.
Tostada!
Tostada: the dog that doesn't quit! What a cute little gordo, he is a dog that used to have what his owner called "Doggie aids", also known as Ehrlichiosis, which is a tick-borne disease which destroys the immune system. He was given 3 rounds of chemotherapy and gained a lot of weight because of it, not to mention his undying appetite! But he's a very happy sweet dog and we give him lots of exercise and an excellent diet which has helped him immensely. One of the best behaved dogs we have, he doesn't ever cause anyone trouble but loves to explore town on his own all the time. He was returned to his original owner and lives happily still in his hometown of Tzununa, daily frequenting town center and spending time with all his doggie friends!
Chispita!
Chispita is an amazing dog we had at the sanctuary for a long time before she was adopted. She now has been adopted and lives happily ever after with a Guatemalan family on the west-coast by the beach! She spends her days helping an old man on his morning runs, and his wife with protecting their farm and being the guardian of the household. She's happier than she's ever been!
Pluto & Vibiana!
Pluto and Vibiana have a wild story. They were two of the litter of four found on the "Dog Land", the area where we intend to build the Dog Sanctuary. The very first day of our construction of the fence, the brother of the land owner said: "Hey there's some puppies over here." I didn't understand, I thought he meant my dogs. Then I come over to see, and these guys little heads poke out of the very large boulders in the middle of the land. We began feeding them for a month, and eventually adopted 3 of them out to neighbors, but then Pluto was found in San Marcos alone, hiding under a chicken cart. One of our volunteers spotted him and we got him with haste. We've discovered there are risks involved with adopting to locals, and we since re-rescued him where he stays with us now. We know the culture is quite different with how they treat animals, but with education and working together we can improve the situation. Pluto has since been adopted to a loving home.

Ramon!
Athena & Flacka!
Perrita's adorable puppies.
Blessed to have experienced their birth, we take the utmost care of our little ones. They get good training, playtime, and food as much as they could want. They have two more brothers, who have since been adopted to a well-caring family.
They're each currently 4 months old.
Neptune!
Neptune is a little guy that was found being "played with" by local boys a little too roughly. A good friend we know rescued him and his sister, whom they have the sister and asked if we could take him in. He's been an amazing addition to the family.

Delta & Gamma!
Another two sisters of excellent relation! Each now 2 years old, these are special babies who were born with a local family in Tzununa but caught the dreaded distemper at a young age. Rescued by an animal loving couple and nursed to health, they were adopted to Perros Libres and then trained and domesticated. They are super cute dogs, very fun together and love to play, but are delicate creatures as well. They had a rough first half of life and require a new owner that is very gentle, soft, and loving with them as that is the type of ownership they need. With just a little love they are incredibly loyal companions and also quite independent.
