"Dogland" and the "Meet Your Dog Spnsorship program" were created by Helene Wirt with her non profit organization "Asociacion Elena - Perros que ME encontraron". The translation in English means literally "Association Helene - Dogs They Found Me"
And dogs HAVE found her!
Dogland is exactly what it sounds like, a place where the unwanted, neglected, homeless, the sick, young or old, any dog in need can find love here in a safe and nurturing environment.
The Dog Shelter looks like a small dog city or dog town. Wide open spaces and small houses dot the landscape, not the typical dog house you might think. The view the residents have from their dog city is amazing as is the creator of this magical place.
Helene is one of the most remarkable woman I have ever met, to know her is an honor, to be involved with her vision, a privelage, and what beautiful vision she has.
Dogland Shelter currently holds 163 dogs. We are involved with numerous adoptions every year, spay and neutering programs, education & outreach programs, and now Helene's new Dog Sponsorship Program, Meet Your Dog.
To address the problem of the estimated 1,000,000 street dogs here in Costa Rica is no easy task (yes thats ONE MILLION!) , but with people like Helene in country, and her supporters, many have a chance that was not available before.
Please take a moment to look around. You will find information on adopting a dog, here in Costa Rica or to your home abroad. You can learn more about the Dog Sponsorship Program "Meet Your Dog", see the pups available for sponsorship and become one yourself. Check into Volunteer Opportunities at the shelter in Costa Rica, make a donation, or just join us on our Facebook or Facebook Causes page.
If you live in Costa Rica, need to travel, and want a safe environment for your four legged family, the shelter also offers Boarding for your dog while you are away. You can read some of our success stories and dog-facts under Dog Tales, and learn more about the creator, Helene, to whom so many souls owe their lives, in the About Us section.
Make sure you stop by our BLOG for the latest Dogland News, you can check out our list of Sponsors, and keep up to date with us.

Dogs were first domesticated from wolves at least 17,000 years ago, but perhaps as early as 150,000 years ago based upon recent genetic fossil and DNA evidence.
