Our very first student volunteer rescued two puppies from being thrown in the river
-
We identify dogs in a state of abandonment and street situation, capture them, then go through a process of evaluation of their health, determining age, sex, nutritional conditions, and possible diseases
-
The young dogs, under 12 months, are placed with volunteers who give them a temporary home (as a one-week quarantine). Then they are vaccinated and placed in the Allqo Llaqta shelter for adoption
-
Dogs older than 12 months are evaluated and treated if necessary, dewormed and vaccinated, bathed and placed in the Allqo Llaqta shelter for adoption
-
To improve the life of street dogs that can not be placed in the Allqo Llaqta Rescue Centre, drinking troughs, food dispensers and sheds will be installed in different parts of the cities and rural areas of the Sacred Valley
Our work with schools
A Friends of the Animals club is being developed as a pilot program in two primary schools in the city of Urubamba to create awareness and education about responsible pet ownership and respect for animal life in general. The club members will help with some activities at the Allqo Llaqta Rescue Centre such as walking the dogs, playing with them, bathing them, etc.
Temporary Cradle program
We have right now a Temporary Cradle Program. A very young puppy cannot go to the centre right away, so the idea is to have a volunteer keep it for a short time until it is ready to go to the rescue centre, which means they have passed the quarantine time and they are healthy and vaccinated.
Old Friends Program
This program aims at getting senior dogs adopted by senior people. These older dogs do not need to exercise a lot, so they are a good company for them. Before adoption, the elderly dogs receive rehabilitation and physiotherapy to guarantee their quality of life.
Children and Dogs Program
In this program, the volunteers give talks in schools and teach children about being responsible with pets.
Sterilization and health campaign in the Sacred Valley
We are doing on a regular basis sterilization campaign and health campaign both for stray dogs and for owned dogs.
What geographical area do we cover?
The main objective is to work at the level of the province of Urubamba and the Sacred Valley and participate and support activities related to animal protection at the level of the region of Cusco and nationally.
