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.
Hey Asha, Thanks for the kind words but a heads up - I did not make the video. I took all the pictures but the video was made by Corissa Meadors, a young woman who was studying in Costa Rica and came up for a week to do a volunteer study/project. I had the honor of squiring her around and showing her the ropes - she's the younger blonde woman in some of the pictures. She had a heart of gold and is an incredibly courageous person. I didn't even know she had made this - she must have taken the pics off the Sarna Dog Chronicles.
Thanks, Finnegan. So the video is actually a collaboration? Your photos, her format? Really nice work on both your parts. I'll add her name. Hey, speaking of the Sarna Dog Chronicles...let me know when you add a label so I can link directly to them. Great photos and story. Thanks, again!
