Sorry for my English.
In Argentina there is no established governmental system to protect stray and abandoned animals. There are regional centers where dangerous and aggressive animals are controlled (observation for rabies suspicion) and disposed. There are as well some private places (not state regulated) where wealthy people can leave their pets when they go on holidays.
Strays dogs and cats have a sad and short life and a terrible death in the streets.
There are few good persons that let abandoned animals to live in their lands; in this precarious environment, but somebody has to provide food and medicines.
I happen to know a scientist (biology at state Medical School), committted to animal welfare, she lives in the Capital city, but also owns a small piece of land (1/2 acre extension) with a simple hut, where about 20 to 25 dogs and 2 cats can live and shelter. At that place a 80 year old woman very poor from the North of the country, Isabel, lives and cares for the animals, recieving in exchange home and shelter as well. I pay a monthly fee, also buy medicines, blankets, food, etc. Nobody visit her or the animals.
This is a photo of Isabel, a little moved, it was imposible to make her stand still.

I wasn't trying to be mean. I just was confused in the situation is all. Thank you for the clarification. It sounded as if you gave up your own dog to a shelter. But sponsorship is a million times different. I applaud what you are doing.
And NO! the US has a HORRIBLE system to help with abandoned animals. Absolutely atrocious. So many healthy, loving, beautiful animals are put to death every single day that the numbers are sickening.

The world could use more people like Argentinas Isabel.

Helping and rescuing animals doesn´t always have a happy ending, even the ones privileged who survive when they die is devastating.
I have suffered and cried a lot for them, but nothing compares with the joy of seeing them alive and healthy, even if they don´t "return the favor" with their love because they don´t live with you.
In another post I told that I helped this cat to give birth to 5 kittens at a seaside resort. They´ve grown up healthy and wild in the dunes.
It´s very rare to see them, but I was lucky to see the 5 of them during these years, I will post some photos of one of them, the 2nd. from the left.

Staying at a friends house right now & they have a 3 legged big dumb dog. Lost it's front right leg several years back from hit by a car. But 3 legs does NOT slow this fucker down. All he wants to do is play play play. I took a short video of him chasing the ball. The hill is a lot steeper than it looks. I have trouble walking up it & have to side step my way up.

It´s a Southern Crested Caracara, here we call it "Carancho". Is a bird of pray of the family of "falconidae".
It has a total length of 50–65 cm (20–26 in) and a wingspan of 120-132 cm (47-52 in). Weight is 0.9-1.6 kg (2-3.5 lbs). Individuals from the colder southern part of its range average larger than those from tropical regions .
A bold, opportunistic raptor, the Southern Crested Caracara is often seen walking around on the ground looking for food. It mainly feeds on carcasses of dead animals, but will steal food from other raptors, raid bird nests, and take live prey if the possibility arises (mostly insects or other small prey, but at least up to the size of a Snowy Egret). It is dominant over the Black and Turkey Vulture at carcasses. It is typically solitary, but several individuals may gather at a large food source (e.g. dumps)
The Southern Crested Caracara occurs from Tierra del Fuego in southernmost South America north to the Amazon River region and southern Peru. An isolated population occurs on the Falkland Islands. It avoids the Andean highlands and dense humid forest, such as the Amazon rainforest, where it is largely restricted to relatively open sections along major rivers.
Took this adorable shot of Yellow Belly and Smokey the other day...had to share. Does that boy look guilty, or what???
Some nice pussies all up in here!

Happy Birthday to our favorite kitty Yellow Belly! This is our middle daughter and the birthday boy.
OK, when there was an RA pet around here, her name was Stoney. RIP.

I dig turtles-literally. I'm part of a group that monitors nesting activity and the subsequent nests of sea turtles. These guys aren't the ocean variety, but they are just as cool
