Costa Rica to California Our First Successful Dog Adoption

SUCCESS! One of our dogs straight off the streets of La Fortuna, Costa Rica has been adopted in California.

First, a little background.  When you're as passionate about dogs as I am, you often meet others with an equal passion, which is  exactly what happened with Shannon, the owner of LA's, Bark n' Bitches

From Shannon's website:

"Not only do I have this amazing Dog Boutique in the heart of hip L.A., but I created "Jimi's Angels Rescue" to continue my work to support the homeless dogs of Los Angeles."

Shannon said she'd love to help us anyway she could and now she's instrumental in helping to rescue not only LA's homeless dogs but the homeless dogs in Costa Rica as well. With our fingers crossed, we  began sending a few of our 'street dogs' to Shannon  in hopes of finding them good homes, because as you can probably imagine, it can be hard for dogs to make the transition from a life on the streets to the boundaries of a home.  But great news for 'Reina', one of our first dogs to make the trip to Cali, she's been adopted into a loving home.  *That's her above with her new owners.  

Our first report on how Reina is adjusting-
 "At first the transition was a little difficult for Reina as you might have guessed.  But now she's bonded with our family and she's turning into a great dog who loves to give kisses".
This is great news and hopefully will be the first of many more successful adoptions to come.  Thanx so much Shannon, we truly appreciate your help and support.

 Until next time- Pura Vida!








Reina has found her forever family. She turned into a great dog. It defin

itely took her some time to really bond with humans after living on the street. At the beginning she would barely tolerate people butnow, she just loves people and gives plenty of kisses.

The couple has another dog that Reina will be playing with and she will be very well cared for! http://www.barknbitches.com/

  1. Hi Scott! Found your blog looking for blogs about costa rican food and I can't say how happy I found your blog. I live in Playas del Coco and work at local vet clinic and I have to say that I am so thankful for people like you who are helping dogs off the street and finding them their forever homes. There are so many street dogs that it's really a big problem. Anyways, I just want to say thank you for doing what you do and I'm going to keep up with your blog!

    Keep up the good work!
