Morgan is a smaller black and white male dog; he stands apart because of his three legs. Panicked and dodging cars in the middle of a busy intersection in Escazú, a Good Samaritan managed to pluck him from the traffic and brought him to the Refugio. We are looking for a monthly Sponsorship for Morgan not because of his 3 legs but because he is incontinent.

Our guess is that Morgan was a casualty of the Holidays – one of the busiest times of the year for the Refugio. Between November and January AHPPA receives an inordinate amount of emails asking for help from pet owners to get the word out about their lost pet. Either someone abandoned him or maybe he ran away from his home freaked by the bombas (fire-crackers) and/or fireworks.

Most street dogs are pretty savvy with dodging Costa Rica’s crazy traffic. Morgan’s behavior and his overall condition didn’t indicate he had been homeless, or lost, for an extended period of time. Nonetheless, he is with us now and in need of Sponsorship to live out his life cared for in a safe and loving environment.

Morgans New Home

When Morgan first arrived, he was quite traumatized and depressed. However, he quickly responded and brightened up with lots of love and attention from AHPPA volunteers and staff members. For some strange reason he adores a particular dog bed (photo above); He actually stole it from one of the other shelter dogs and refuses to give it up!

Morgan resides now as a new addition to our Sanctuary-Sponsored dog area and would love a home and owner to call his own, however, because of his inability to hold his waste, he is not considered an adoptable candidate.
