Welcome to Casa Lupita's new blog

Casa Lupita is a health clinic for homeless animals located in Granada, Nicaragua. The clinic is a project of Building New Hope, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to linking people to people working towards a flexible, democratic, healthy, sustainable way of life in Central America and the world. This blog is for the animals.

Street Dogs in Nicaragua is the result of a collaboration between a couple of Americans who met while volunteering at Casa Lupita. The photos are by photographer/blogger Finnegan Dowling. Corissa Meadors used them in this video as part of an independent study on Nicaraguan street dogs she was doing while at Casa Lupita.


There are a lot more photos and stories as Finnegan's blog, Nicarugua Redux: The Sarna Dog Chronicals and be sure and check out Corissa's detailed, infuriating, and inspiring article here. Meet some of the lucky, sad, and not so lucky, heartbreakingly sweet street dogs of Central America.
