The Land of the Strays where 900 dogs roam free
There’s nothing quite as heartbreaking as a walk through an animal shelter, past abandoned, sometimes frightened dogs with the appearance of prisoners in cells.
But as you see in the gallery above, not all strays are consigned to this fate.
Home to over 900 rescued pooches, Territorio de Zaguates (Land of the Strays) is a volunteer-run animal shelter located in the rolling hills of Cosa Rica.
The Land of the Strays lets neutered canines roam free around the spectacular property and play with visitors, heading back home to comfortable beds at bedtime.
Each dog is given a name and unique breed, with no preference given regarding mixes and purebreds. If you’re looking to adopt you can schedule a walking hike on the property and even any of the dogs take a shining to you you’re welcome to adopt them.
Doesn’t it look like an incredible place for dogs (and dog lovers)!
