The Land of the Strays in Costa Rica is known as Territorio de Zaguates, and it is surely a paradise for dogs and dog lovers. It’s a privately funded, volunteer-run, no-kill animal shelter in Costa Rica. Anyone can come to the shelter to spend time with dogs and eventually adopt one, all of the animals are up for adoption. They can also take the dogs for walks around the scenic grounds of the shelter.
Its advertising campaign carries the message “when you adopt a mutt, you adopt a unique breed”, wants people to think differently about mix-breed dogs. Mongrels are often deemed inferior to pure breeds, but the shelter believes that championing their mixed status is the key to helping them find homes.
