🐈🐾🐕 Help needed!! 💥 I help out at The Wet Nose Project in Atenas where Ash Leigh almost single-handedly takes care of 54 dogs and cats that she has rescued off the streets in varying degrees of neglect and abandonment. She relies on donations to be able to house and feed these rescues.

She has an awsome raffle right now for a free night's hotel stay and free night walk tour in Arenal for two at Arenal Oasis Ecolodge.

Tickets are only 3,000, colones or $5 each. If you don't want tickets, perhaps you can buy a couple of numbers anyway and then donate the prize to someone you know like a cleaning lady or taxi driver. If you just want to donate to the rescue, that would be very much appreciated as well.

The drawing is scheduled for Sunday. Available numbers are in green in the comments.

Thank you for your help. It takes a village!! 🙏🐾🐕🐈🙌

Sold out! Acabado!
