Guapo is a gorgeous Setter/Golden/Rottie mix (maybe). He was rescued by Paula Hillman after she found him abandoned and severely injured in a field. He had a shattered pelvis with a bone protruding, and was skeletally thin. She took him in and nursed him back to health, but after several months she decided that he…

Mica was found at Lake Atitlan by volunteers Tana and Wil. At first they thought she was dead. This tiny puppy was lying in a gutter, full of worms, fleas, and mange. Tana scooped her up and took her home, sure that she wasn’t going to make it through the night. Mica made it, and…

Aiko was the smallest puppy of a litter of eight two week old puppies left in a box by the door of a veterinary clinic. The clinic staff raised all eight to one month of age, and we took over from there, making sure that the pups had lots of contact with nice adult dogs, and…

Sandy is one of eight tiny, month old puppies we took in and hand raised. The pups were left in a cardboard box beside their mom, tied to the door of a local veterinary clinic. The mom slipped away and was not seen again, and the clinic staff raised the fifteen-day old puppies to one month of…

Kishi was found running alongside a busy road by a good samaritan who scooped the tiny, frightened puppy up and brought her to us. Kishi weighed a whopping 1.1 pounds, and was flea and lice infested. We treated her parasites, and wonderful UPA volunteer Carla and her husband Thomas offered to foster this tiny little…

We met Abbey and her brother Ben when we held a spay and neuter clinic in mid December, 2013. We approached a poor family who live at the gate of the coffee farm we visit to see if they wanted so spay their female dogs. They did, and brought us two tiny, very sick puppies as…

Quincy was picked up as a 3 month old puppy, foraging on the roadside in very poor shape. She had mange and a skin infection, and was brought in by friends.  Volunteer Juani and her family fostered this little girl for about a month, and we moved her to Linda’s home for training and polishing.…

Bobby was very skittish and head shy. We posted him, but no one ever claimed him. After several months of rehabilitation…
