Caring for a rescued dog is an act of love, but sustaining 70 is a team mission.
Hello, I am Cristina Rincón. Since I was 14 years old, my life has been dedicated to changing the fate of the dogs the world decided to ignore. Today, from Refugio El Valle in San José de los Altos, Venezuela, we work tirelessly to ensure that every mixed-breed dog (mestizo) that comes into our care not only recovers their health but learns to trust humans again.
After moving to our new home a few months ago, we are facing our biggest challenge yet: completing the construction of our in-house medical clinic and operating room. In a country where veterinary costs are rising and logistics are difficult, having our own medical space isn't a luxury—it’s the difference between life and death for a dog arriving in critical condition.


Why we need your support today:
Managing a shelter of this size in Venezuela requires immense effort. Your donation will be directly transformed into:
• Infrastructure: Materials to finish the kennels and the medical area (bricks, cement, sanitary paint).

• Healthcare: Vaccines, deworming, and specialized treatments for our seniors and injured rescues.
• Nutrition: Ensuring our 70 residents have full bowls of balanced food every single day.
About your donation and "tips":
We have chosen FundRazr’s "Free" model so that every cent you give goes directly to the shelter. At checkout, you will see an option to leave a "tip" to the platform; this is completely optional and is what allows us to use this service without paying monthly fees.
Our Digital Rewards (A gift for your kindness):
• $10 Donation - "Virtual Godparent": We will send you a personalized digital certificate with a photo of one of our rescues to keep on your phone.
• $25 Donation - "Wall of Solidarity": We will give you a special shout-out on our Instagram stories (40k+ followers), letting our community know you are a hero to our dogs!
• $50+ Donation - "Impact Report": You will receive an exclusive video from the shelter showing the construction progress and the happy tails of the dogs you are helping to heal.

ESPAÑOL
Cuidar de un rescatado es un acto de amor, pero sostener a más de 70 es una misión de equipo.
Hola, soy Cristina Rincón. Desde los 14 años mi vida ha estado dedicada a cambiar el destino de los perros que el mundo decidió ignorar. Hoy, desde el Refugio El Valle, en San José de los Altos, trabajamos incansablemente para que cada mestizo que llega a nuestras manos no solo recupere su salud, sino que vuelva a creer en los humanos.
Tras mudarnos a nuestro nuevo hogar hace unos meses, nos enfrentamos a nuestro reto más grande: terminar la construcción de nuestra clínica y sala de operaciones interna. Tener un espacio médico propio no es un lujo, es la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte para un perro que llega en estado crítico.
¿Por qué necesitamos tu apoyo hoy?
Mantener un refugio de esta magnitud en Venezuela requiere de una logística inmensa. Tu donación se transformará directamente en:
• Infraestructura: Materiales para terminar los caniles y el área médica.
• Salud: Vacunas, desparasitantes y tratamientos especializados.
• Alimentación: Asegurar los platos llenos de comida balanceada cada día.
Sobre tu donación y las "propinas":
Hemos elegido el modelo gratuito de FundRazr para que cada centavo que aportes llegue al refugio. Al finalizar tu donación, verás una opción para dejar una "propina" a la plataforma; esto es totalmente opcional y es lo que permite que nosotros podamos usar este sitio sin pagar comisiones mensuales.
Nuestras Recompensas Digitales (Tu granito de arena tiene premio):
• Donación de $10 - "Padrino Virtual": Te enviaremos un certificado digital personalizado con la foto de uno de nuestros rescatados para que lo lleves siempre en tu celular.
• Donación de $25 - "Muro de la Solidaridad": Publicaremos un agradecimiento especial para ti en nuestras historias de Instagram, ¡nuestra comunidad de más de 40k seguidores sabrá que eres un héroe para ellos!
• Donación de $50 o más - "Reporte de Impacto": Recibirás un video exclusivo desde el refugio mostrándote los avances de las obras y a los perritos que estás ayudando a sanar.
