It's not really talked about here, but there are so many stray and abandoned animals here in BA and in other areas of the country and yet so few animal welfare groups or people who spend their time and money to help them. In the States we have so many groups and individuals and they receive a lot of attention and help. It has come to my attention that there is an English gentleman here who recently lost his wife and was left to care for her remaining 15 dogs from her dog sanctuary. He is doing this while coping with the loss of his wife, and not being completely fluent in Spanish. If you want to help him out by sponsoring one of the 15 doggies or just donate then visit his website Rescued Doggies.
We were in Buenos Aires during July of this year and also realized the sad situation of Argentina's street animals. You can take a look at one of my blog entries.
