Toriano recently spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica, doing field research on ferial dogs in the streets of San Jose and San Ramon and met one of the most inspirational dog activists ever, Helen Wirt.
Helene WIRT, was born in Austria (Vienna), but has been living in Costa Rica in the area of San Ramón de Alajuela for the past 18 years.
Since 1997, she has dedicated her time, energy and love to providing homes to abandoned and poorly treated dogs. She supplies these dogs with medical care, spaying and neutering services, safe shelter; as well as, the love and affection they need. She has set up a 5 acre dog farm that houses over 93 dogs and she also lives on location with her canine friends. www.meetyourdog.com
Mr. Sanzone has partnered with Ms. Wirt to help place these doggies in homes across the world and to also bring Wolfkeepers-Dog Lovers to San Ramon to assist in the care and training of these abandoned dogs.
We are currently looking for people that would be interested in traveling to Costa Rica for 7-14 days to help Helen out with the care of her shelter dogs.
