Sponsor the Pets of an Indigenous Family Fund

There are 24 indigenous villages surrounding Cotacachi within a 10 km radius.

Many of these families make below the minimum salary of $450 per month, and are  living with very scarce resources. Their income provides for basic human needs, making veterinary care an unaffordable luxury. The indigenous villages develop significant bonds with their dogs and cats for security of their homes and protection of  their farm animals. Although the relationships between the animals and the people are very different from the human-animal bond associated with our companion pets, it is culturally significant. 
 
By sponsoring a family, you will be providing sterilization campaigns, vaccinations, deworming and general veterinary care for the pets in these villages, which in turn will lower the overpopulation of dogs and cats and keep the spread of infectious diseases in animals and people to a minimum. This provides  Amici Cannis the opportunity to educate the family about animal welfare, care and changing the pets quality of life. This valuable sponsorship is not only providing important care for the animals, but also helping a family, which in turn is helping an entire indigenous village.
