It is estimated that there are up to 4 million strays on the streets of Lima. Despite informal efforts by local communities to care for individual dogs, there are many that fall through the gaps. At present, the government has yet to implement programmes to address this problem and small charities are leading the way in animal welfare.

Through private donations, we support local organisations in Lima-Peru  that share our values and whose mission is to help and rescue animals in need by promoting education, sterilisation, and adoption campaigns.

With the scale of the problem in Lima, we have realised that a focus on sterilisation campaigns is the best long term strategy to reduce dogs' suffering. Our partners arrange for a team of vets to visit a community, offering free neutering to dog owners. Volunteers raise awareness of upcoming campaigns in communities and identify people to look after stray dogs as they recover. As little as £12 can pay for neutering one dog. Even the smallest donation will make a difference to a dog's life in Peru.

Alongside this long term approach, we have a focus on the welfare of existing strays, providing nutrition and medication to those most in need.
