nice they save these dogs, but as you said there are million street dogs and no way they could save all .... be real, unless this couple is filthy rich otherwise the "no kill" is insane and for how long could they keep doing this ??
I have veen donating $35 per month to this wonderful santuary for about ten years. There have been rough patches for me where I think that I can no longer donate, but I think about how so many dogs are given a second chance, so I always find a way to cut back, so that I can continue my small part in helping. Thank you for all that you do for these beautiful dogs. You people are teuly angels on earth. My small contribution is the best money I've ever spent. I plan to increase my monthly donations soon, and hope to inspire others to donate as well. ❤
Best part is that she already had that huge piece of land inherited from her grandfather which somewhat made this dream of her come true. God bless this lady 🙏
This women and her helpers are truly the saints of this planet....I thank you so much for not turning your back on these dogs...thank you for helping them.
Just when you think you love and care for your dog. This beautiful women shows you what love and care for any dog (or any animal) should really be. Much respect and proud to know we have people like this.
What blew me away about this place was the caretakers know every single dog and their stories, the ailments and background of each dog. They just know it all. That's true dedication and true love right there. I've been fortunate to visit this place all the way from India. At that time there were 776 dogs. I had only about 30 mins to spend there but I'll never be able to forget those moments. Maybe one day I'll have a shelter of my own.
Priceless... until one of them mutts bites you and the whole pack dog mentality sets in and before you know it your being eaten alive with no chance of escape.
@@tonytuffers I doubt that would happen. There is no guarantee that it won't but seeing those dogs makes me seriously question the validity of your projection.
Proud of these two lovely persons from my beautiful country, meeting them in person and running under the sun with all of those dogs it’s so priceless!
I just donated 36 dollars to these beautiful dogs. Please guys donate so this never stops. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to continue on. The only way for this to continue is for us to support it!
This Lady is a World Leader in humanity, and the balance that we as human beings can provide for the animals in our societies that need an equal chance to happiness as any living human being has been given. We need to be accountable to others for our own health and well being, and we need to be responsible for the wholeness of life on this planet as stewards. We are All ONe Within Love, We are All ONe Love Within, and We are All Love Within ONe. When we come together to heal with Love, We turn ON our collective awareness Within and become ONe Love, individual and precious in our differences, yet whole in all the blessed ways Love gives Within each of our hearts.
Compassion have to be taught to kids at a young age, ideally when they're still babies. That's how they'll grow up to be a loving and compassionate adults.
I agree...but videos of showing love and affection to pets and animals should be shown in schools and encourage kids and young people to volunteer at shelters...
I agree. While our schools are indoctrinating wouldn’t it be nice if they for once taught children how to love, instead of hate and not encourage selfishness.
Lya is an inspiration to humanity, and an angel sent by God for these dogs. I understand that sometimes doing the right thing is an uphill battle, but we must never give up. Much love from a fellow dog lover in Texas and owner of 3.
Your a Hero among us, God Bless you, You’ll have your place in heaven for saving these precious lives, and you know they are, like you said, they can’t care for themselves, Bless you for your humanity🙂💕🙏👍🦋
What an amazing woman!.. I hope to be able to visit them one day. I've learned that if you can't love animals, it's almost impossible to be able to love a human being.
Watch the documentary 100,000....sadly, the abandonment of animals happens more than we would like to acknowledge. Governments don't even care about the growing problem and is up to certain individuals to carry this titanic labor by themselves. I used to volunteer for a non profit in PR called save a sato. The lady that ran the place, gave up her whole life, to rescue and treat abandoned, wounded and sick dogs. Since she started, she dedicates everyday of her life to that place. Doesn't know what is a vacation or a day off. Is amazing and sad at the same time, because stuff like that shouldn't be happening
God Bless this Incredible Woman. Without God sent people like you, millions of destitute beautiful animals will unnecesarily die out. The sufferings they go through silently through evil wicked people cos they don't know that God Is Love and we are commanded by God to Care for his animals!
Amazing people who care so much it's a shame there aren't more people like this in the world. Truly amazing it's lovely to see the dogs get well and feel loved.
There are many, but it’s never enough. Animals can suffer at the hands of humans, or they are loved and cared for. They’re the only animals that cannot survive without human intervention. We need more people to care. Unfortunately with society becoming more selfish, I believe this problem is going to be worse and these poor precious animals will suffer because of it. All we can do is our part to help and educate those who are ignorant.
I've been rescuing since I was a child, something both my grandparents thought me. I just found this short film as I am looking for information on how to build shelter for dogs. I recently traveled to the Dom Rep from the US and found so many strays, I decided to fight the gov and make them implement the existing laws. I got them to donate a small piece of land and although I am struggling, I am traveling back and forth trying to see how I can build shelter for all the dogs myself and some volunteer friends of mine have picked up from the street. The nearest vet clinic is 4 hours away, so many animals dying from bad illness to small infections that turn into death sentences. I solute you, love you for what you are doing in Costa Rica. Thank you so much and thank God you are who you are! I will never give up, until my last breath.
Thank you so much. You are doing what I wanted to do. I’ve been to Costa Rica many times and each time I was saddened at how many dogs were on the street. Sick and starving. Most people would not go near them. I would buy food from the store and would stop on the road every time I saw a dog and give it food. It broke my heart, I was always in tears and angry that this was their only life. My husband and I divorced so we never relocated to CR where I too wanted to have a rescue for these dogs. May God bless you while you help these awesome precious animals.
This the most wonderful story i have ever scene...the line when that lady said all what dog need is just love and happiness gives me goosebumbs...i wonder if there is any one to take care of them after you mam...may god bless you ...i wish from my heart...god will surely help you..love from india
Yooo I cried at 6:05, that dog is so beautiful. The eyes are so soulful... they've been through so much. Yet you can see the hope in their eyes. So beautiful.
This was beautiful. Dogs deserve the best because they are so loyal and kind and they would never hurt us. I will be praying that this company can grow bigger and stronger because these people have such large hearts. Beautiful souls
See now this is the stuff that should be more recognized in the world she has such a big heart to do this and I can tell that it’s not easy she has such passion and love for dogs that she made it her life I only wish to strive to be as amazing as her and to make a difference in the world just as she has to so many of those dogs wish her, her husband, sanctuary staff and the dogs the best
I can only praise these people. I saw them first on a Netflix documentary called "Dogs". It's a bitter/sweet affair or as they said in that documentary. It is the lease of all evils. I have a rescue dog I saved from certain death, and I have promised her we are together till the end. I won't let her down, like as when her life started, and someone dumped her in a forest at 4 weeks old. The lady is a hero and you can see her love for the dogs. As she said, they are happy, and really that is all they want...to be free and happy!
I agree with you 100% we need to teach children in school how to be responsible for our pets and the hard cold facts of what happens if we don’t. Rite on sister. God bless u and all ur dogs.
What an incredible woman,with such a passion and love for animals. Trying to change the world one stray dog at a time. I have the ultimate respect for her, and to all those who have down voted this video. Go crawl under a rock and stay there.
I am very impressed. My family and I have been rescuing animals for a long time, but never on this sort of scale. However, once we have committed ourselves, we will not put an animal down, just because we have too many. Yes, it is difficult, at times, as we do not receive any funding. We feel though, that every living being, deserves the chance to live out their lives and be loved and cared for. We spay and neuter and vaccinate all the animals in our care. They are all special and are on this earth for a reason.
Such wonderful caring people who are giving God's creatures all they need most of all Love! God's blessings on you may your selfless service to these precious animals give you many rewards in life ..
This no-kill dog shelter started with a hundred dogs and slowly grew to thousands. What are your thoughts on this sanctuary for dogs?
This is so lovely I wanna cry tears of joy!!!
May God continue to bless all the people involved in rescue shelters everywhere. They give hope to the hopeless.
We adopted our dog from this place! What a wonderful place!
nice they save these dogs, but as you said there are million street dogs and no way they could save all .... be real, unless this couple is filthy rich otherwise the "no kill" is insane and for how long could they keep doing this ??
It's wonderful, but I hope there's a separate program to neuter all the dogs outside the shelter.
What one woman can do to make the world a better place for the most abused on earth is remarkable. I HONOR THIS WOMAN.

You're an amazing person for doing everything you can to help contribute to this great sanctuary 🙏🏽
You’re awesome ❤
God bless all of you who help animals.
This is what humans are here for, to be guardians for the other animals on this planet.
Wow. Maybe they should start a TH-cam channel to have some more revenue. Maybe volunteers can shoot video and do some editing? Just an idea...
Fantastic idea. A go fund me would be great too!
no sabia de esta situacion en costa rica NUNCA NA DIE LO DIO A CONOCER ME OFRESCO COIMO VOLUNTARIA PARA AYUDAR.
awesome idea yes!!!
Muy bien Filiberto. Buena idea si aceptan voluntarios.
Does anyone know the name of the song at 6:00?
Special place in heaven for people like this

I pray that you can open a shelter of your own some day.
Most heart felt short film I've ever seen! These people are incredible! I wish the best for them❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@tonytuffers wow you stupid cat lover
@@tonytuffers I doubt that would happen. There is no guarantee that it won't but seeing those dogs makes me seriously question the validity of your projection.
@@tonytuffers I don't think dog behavior works that way
This woman is an angel. She deserves a gold medal.
Proud of these two lovely persons from my beautiful country, meeting them in person and running under the sun with all of those dogs it’s so priceless!
Ana Bertarioni where y’all from??
memo g Costa Rica 🇨🇷!
Ana Bertarioni wow that’s awesome!!
Way to make it about you lady 😂
Anna, it is a beautiful country, it has it's faults - like all countries do - but this is something to be proud of :)
These people should be honored by all mankind.
This endeavor should be given a billion dollars.
I just donated 36 dollars to these beautiful dogs. Please guys donate so this never stops. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to continue on. The only way for this to continue is for us to support it!
how to donate please
Dogs are not objects but family
Inspirational . What a great woman putting her heart and soul into loving and caring for helpless animals . Someone cares hooray !
We need this in every city in America!! ❤️
God bless these beautiful people !

100% correct!
I agree. While our schools are indoctrinating wouldn’t it be nice if they for once taught children how to love, instead of hate and not encourage selfishness.
Very beautiful. I cried....
Me too!! Wasn't that a great video?! If only I had money, I would be doing the same thing, and have wanted to do it for the past 20 years.
What a wonderful heart this woman has. An Angel for sure.
Wow. Everything she said about how people need to change was beautiful.
My heart goes out to all those dogs, thank God that there's people out there that run sanctuaries like this.
Everystate in the U.S should have this sanctuary.
Yes 🙏🏻
This place is a sanctuary for the dogs, how amazing it must be to live there.
What wonderful people. I’m with them 100%.
On voit de l'amour que ce couple donne à tous ces chiens. BRAVO👏👏👏👏
No words to describe how compassionate these people are. They are real heroes. They are God to these animals literally.
This is for you ""Dad"" may he RIP..he always wanted to buy 500 acres of land to let all the animals in and the people out..this was his dream!!!!!
Lya is an inspiration to humanity, and an angel sent by God for these dogs. I understand that sometimes doing the right thing is an uphill battle, but we must never give up. Much love from a fellow dog lover in Texas and owner of 3.
Poor little babies, this woman is a true hero.
Bless this womans INCREDIBLE soul, wishing I had done this instead of spending four years and 200,000 at college
You can still do it
Wow! Haters actually thumbed down this beautiful video! Proves how sick the world is! :(
You have said it. It’s a sick world and theses dogs will suffer because of selfish humans
May God bless you all for your kind hearts. Thank you.
God bless you all ❤❤
Your a Hero among us, God Bless you, You’ll have your place in heaven for saving these precious lives, and you know they are, like you said, they can’t care for themselves, Bless you for your humanity🙂💕🙏👍🦋
Mary Vanessa “humanity” is a very ironic term considering most humans lack this quality...
Kevin Mace I agree with you 100% my friend 🙂👍🙏
this sanctuary is about kindness and caring and love - May there be a BILLION sanctuaries just like this one
💓People like you that make a difference in the world, I hold close to my heart! Thank you for being you!
One person can change the world..she is a hero..thank you for what you do!!!
I am proud of this kind of people.
Thanks
What a wonderful woman...God bless her sanctuary...
I have such respect for people with this level of compassion for animals...dogs in this case. Dogs can be such loving companions. Miss mine.
This is the best thing i ever saw in my life 😄😄😄🐶🐶🐶🐕🐕🐕🐩🐩🐩
If we all had hearts like these people what a wonderful, beautiful place our planet would be
Amen🙏🏻
What an amazing woman!.. I hope to be able to visit them one day. I've learned that if you can't love animals, it's almost impossible to be able to love a human being.
humans are animals too so it makes sense
Bless you sweet lady for starting this sanctuary!!!@!!
There will always be extraordinary people who do things that commoners cannot, and therefore the world is richer for it.
I love the cinematography
she's a hero!
I love this lady! She is amazing! We need more people like this!
Few videos make me cry. This one did. What a beautiful woman. Thank You Creator for Her.
A few people have hearts of gold, and the people here are!! Blessings continue to come your way!!

May God Always Shine His Light on this incredible couple Lya and Alvaro. Thank you for all you do.
Deserve all the respect in the world. Good job guys!
The couple and the vet all are so kind and gentle, I enjoy hearing them tell stories. We need a full-length documentary!
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!❤💛❤
Sweetheart thats the will of God in them and the heart of God in you. God bless you. Keep pleasing God.
God Bless this Incredible Woman. Without God sent people like you, millions of destitute beautiful animals will unnecesarily die out. The sufferings they go through silently through evil wicked people cos they don't know that God Is Love and we are commanded by God to Care for his animals!
Heaven for dogs
As the Lady said though, that dogs want to belong to a family more though.
That's a whole lot of good happening there. Beautiful
Amazing people who care so much it's a shame there aren't more people like this in the world. Truly amazing it's lovely to see the dogs get well and feel loved.
