Dog rehabilitation center

Although you can't say Panama is a poor country, the well being of dogs is often very sad and there are many dogs that need help.

Fortunately the town of Boquete counts with a dog rehabilitation center. It was founded by a couple from Peru. They are real animal rescuers, vegetarians, and animal lovers, and have established a large property as a no-kill shelter for the dogs of the community. They:

* Rescue abandoned and abused dogs

* Educate the local families about responsible pet care

* Rehabilitate dogs to be ready for adoption into their “forever homes”

To help cover daily expenses, they offer affordable boarding services and doggie day care and training. They average around 35-45 dogs at one time at the facility.
