We did it! FAAN-ATICS! We not only raised funds to purchase permanent land (10 Acres)for the abused, abandoned, and senior dogs of Cuenca, Ecuador, for a modern sanctuary, but we also raised $31,000 at Gala FAAN-TASTICA Old Hollywood to jump-start phase one of FAAN’s SuperDogs Building Project. Our hearts are full with your love and generosity.

Now, an animal-loving family has stepped forward with a $5,000 MATCHING GRANT — and every gift made before December 31st will be matched dollar for dollar.

$50 becomes $100

$100 becomes $200

$1,000 becomes $2,000

By giving today, you join our Paws Circle of Benefactors, a special group of donors committed to transforming the future of animal welfare in Ecuador.

Share the Project with your animal-loving friends and invite them to join our mission to do better for the most vulnerable dogs of #Cuenca # Ecuador. Ask us about Matching Grants and Partnerships.

Give today and double your impact

Together, we are not just rescuing dogs —

We are building hope, dignity, and second chances where Underdogs can truly become Superdogs through prevention, education, sanctuary, and fostering a culture of animal kindness and adoption.
