I simply know this as Rosemary’s House. Located in Colan, Northern Peru, Rosemary and a small team care for six dogs, two turtles and around 50 cats.
Rosemary founded the organisation in 2005 to combat the neglect, both intentional and unintentional, imposed on domestic animals such as dogs and cats.
Along with the main shelter and education programs for the local community, AHSFA also staff one veterinarian and one assistant who run a mobile clinic in the nearby rural villages.
In 2019 I spent a week with Rosemary in Colan helping in any way I could.
My work involved-
- Walking the dogs
- Taking charge of the care of a very boisterous kitten named Pedro
- Feeding the animals
- Helping with the care of sick animals
- Helping with supply pick-ups
- Working in the gardens
If you’re going to be in Peru and would like to help Rosemary and the team, please look them up.
