At night, they can curl up in a bed in one of the indoor facilities on the grounds.After Costa Rica banned euthanasia in 2003, the country moved to managing animal populations through affordable spay and neutering, as well as sanctuaries like Territorio de Zaguates. The sanctuary is open to the public, and probably the best opportunity you'll ever have to be overtaken by stampede of happy and eager puppies (if you're into that kind of thing).And if an actual visit to Costa Rica isn't on the horizon, fear not: Just enjoy a look into this puppy paradise.
