Las Terrenas Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that rescues animals to provide them with shelter and better life. We act as the facilitators who look for compassionate guardians to match with these needy lives. We rely on donor funding and human resources to improve the lives of helpless animals.  

 

We extend our love and compassion to neglected and suffering animals by offering them love, house and medical care. 

 

How everything start ? I'll always remember this day, 9 years ago, when Copain, this beautiful but skinny dog, walked into our garden. I went up to him and pet him. Every day he came and spent more and more time with us. In fact, very quickly he spent all his day with us, except for two hours in the afternoon, like a mysterious appointment not to be missed under any pretext. Otherwise, he followed us to the river, waited for us on the porch when we went out, partied with us when we came back, protected us from visitors. 

 

It's like step by step, he adopt and love us as much we love him, our first beloved dog. He was 3 years old and it was with him that this great adventure began...
