1 hr 14 min - Episode 77 Territorio de Zaguates
We continue in our trip to Costa Rica with a look into the world's largest animal sanctuary, Territorio de Zaguates. The land of the strays was founded by Lya Battle and Alvaro Saumet. We watched a Netflix documentary 'Dogs' which had an episode called, 'Territorio de Zaguates' for most of this episode's information. Run with the dogs and learn about this daunting and impressive undertaking, the least evil option these two compassionate people could make. All Zaguates deserve a loving home and family. No dog should be unwanted.
If you want to help, please look into donation or adoption at their website: https://www.territoriodezaguates.com/
