RESCUE PETS - Lighthouse Animal Rescue in Costa Rica

I'm Mr BudBud. I'm the Perro Primero (that means top dog!) of Lighthouse Animal Rescue in Atenas Costa Rica!!! Me and my human Mom and Dad do animal rescue here. When we moved here, 6 years ago, from Florida we brought 8 dogs and 2 cats with us.

Mom has been doing' rescue since she was 4 years old!! That's 59 years!!!! I've been the "Perro Primero" since I was about 4 years old so me and Mom have a lot in common!!

I keep things running' smooth and tell all the other critters what to do!! There's usually LOTS of them to look after and it keeps me awfully busy!! It's a lot of work for a little white dog!!!

All us critters have full run of the property and the house. We sleep in the beds with Mom and Dad or in our dog beds and NOBODY has to live in a pen or a cage except for the first few days when they might be contagious. After that they run with all  of us!!! There's 21 of us right now!!

YOUR PET AND THE LAW

While you're alive, your dog is, legally, your property. Aside from the restrictions of cruelty laws, you can do almost anything you want with an animal you own: sell it, give it away, or have it humanely destroyed.
