A couple from the United States came to Peru for a surfing trip and the vision of many stray dogs in the streets of this country moved them to start a project to find happy homes for them.
Craig and Tami Schreiber worked with The Barking Lot in San Diego, California to start Project Peru. “The rescue provided medical supplies, antibiotics, flea and tick pills, dog clothing, leashes, beds, blankets
“On a surf vacation in Peru last month, we encountered a family of street dogs that followed us everywhere and gave us so much love. One of the street dogs, Pisco, had a big open wound on his leg and looked sick. Unable to look away and go on with our vacation while this little dog suffered, we contacted a small dog rescue several hours away run by an amazing Peruvian woman Mariella. We were so moved by her compassion for us and for the 40 plus other street dogs that she cared for on such limited means that we promised not only to come back and bring our street dogs to San Diego to be temporary barkers at The Barking Lot, but that we would come back and help her with the 40 plus other street dogs permanently living in her modest shelter”, she told this media.
The Schreibers are looking forward to travelling again to Peru to bring to the United States more Peruvian street dogs and be part of The Barking Lot family and hopefully find them a forever home.
