I adopted an apple head chihuahua and rat terrier mixed puppy , in 2019, at the local animal shelter. It was truly, love at first sight. During the Pandemic and for the past 18 months, Gizmo spent 24/7 with me, while I was working from home. Most of the time, he slept in his cozy little bed, by my feet.

That little guy became my loyal friend, confidant, personal assistant, "therapist" and body guard.  I was able to learn so much about dogs and specially about my little Gizmo, and nobody knows more about him than I do.  I know Gizmo gets excited as well as depressed, happy, anxious, worry, nervous, and upset. I know what he likes and what he dislikes. I know he senses danger and I know he senses when I am upset, hurting, or in danger.

I know how much that little guy loves me, and I know Gizmo knows I love him a lot.

Most of the time, he wants to play and he wants to be the whole center of my attention, which he is, and most of the time, he wants to seat on my lap. Dogs are not meant to be alone...And I can only imagine the mental anguish, all street animals go through everyday, not to mention the physical pain, the hunger, and the abuse and neglect...

The best thing 2020 did for me, was to solidified that love and compassion I have for the street animals.

Seeing how fortunate Gizmo is, having all my love and devotion, being safe and secure inside our home, while millions of other animals just like him are not, breaks my heart.

And I decided I wanted to do more, to help street animals in need, and I started to work on my next big project; an animal sanctuary in Panama, for street animals, specifically the ones that are more vulnerable.

There are exciting things coming and exciting things to be shared, so please, keep in touch.
