“We are an association based in Huanchaco, Peru, dedicated to rescuing and caring for street dogs. Our mission involved providing shelter and care for abandoned, sick, injured, or mistreated dogs, with the ultimate aim of finding them permanent homes. However, due to challenges in finding adoptive families and an increasing number of dogs coming into our care, we have made the difficult decision to stop accepting new dogs with the goal of closing the shelter.

Currently, we have over 40 dogs still in our shelter, and despite our efforts, we have been unable to find suitable rehoming solutions. Our top priority remains the welfare of these dogs, ensuring they are cared for as long as necessary. Additionally, we continue to actively seek new homes for them.

To sustain our efforts, we require funding to cover the costs of caring for the dogs and maintaining the shelter. Any contribution towards this cause would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to support us, please visit our donation page.

Thank you for considering helping us in our mission to care for these animals and find them loving homes.”

Esperanza means ‘hope’ in Spanish and that’s what we want to give dogs in need of help.

The association is officially registered in The Netherlands under the name ‘Stichting Esperanza Canina’.
