Life is tough for the street dogs of Peru, and Cristina Corales is doing something about it.  This web site has been created to tell you the story, to ask for your help and to keep you regularly updated.

Based in a very basic shack at the edge of the Tambopata River in the Amazonia jungle town of Puerto Maldonado, Cristina is helping to improve the lives of many neglected dogs.  Most of the dogs suffer from malnutrition, sores, mange and flea/tick infestations.  In addition to caring for many dogs in her own home, Cristina also runs feeding and sterilisation programmes and helps by providing free veterinary care where necessary.

On 27th November 2011, 20 year-old Joe Peacock from Tonbridge, Kent in England volunteered to travel to Peru and spend just under 8 weeks living in the shack and caring for Cristina's rescued street dogs.  This was to enable Cristina to return home to Australia to spend time with her family and friends at Christmas.  Click here JOE'S NEWS for a day-by-day account of his life-changing experience.
