Territorio de Zaguates is one of the organizations working to address the issue of stray dogs and animal abuse in Costa Rica. The shelter cares for a large number of rescued dogs, but it is not particularly popular among some local residents. The organization provides food, medical care, and a safe environment for the animals. In its early years, it accepted every dog in need, but due to limited funding and support, it has struggled to keep up with the growing demand.
There is a documentary about their work on Netflix. A preview can be found on Youtube.
Territorio de Zaguates was Databeet’s third quarterly 1 percent NGO in 2021. This means that for every 100 euros I earned, 1 euro was donated to this organization. This is one of the 17 sustainability goals the world must reach in 2030, animal welfare!
