Bandi's Place: Beginning Peru's Animal Revolution
Picture a sanctuary for all the downtrodden dogs roaming the heart of the city or locked up in the dismal dirt lots. Bandi's Place, set to be Peru's first animal sanctuary and dog shelter, is not just a canine safe space; it's a movement.
With over 500 claustrophobic dog lots cramming up to 110 dogs in spaces meant for a mere dozen, the tales of hunger, untreated injuries, and neglect are deafening.
Our mission? To stop the cruelty. Discover our journey of community-driven change – from widespread spay/neuter initiatives to adoption events, educational sessions, and groundbreaking public awareness campaigns.
The next milestone of my vision is to open Bandi’s House, a Magical Animal Sanctuary where Dogs/Cats can roam freely in specially made stimulating environments. The goal is to build out a space large enough to board, feed, and provide medical care, including surgery for 131 dogs and 128 cats on any given day. Bandi’s House will be Peru’s 1st Animal control resource center. The final design will depend on the layout of the land and existing buildings. We will hire the Shelter Planners of America for the final designs,
Already, we’ve initiated support for 3 dog lots – however, a big challenge remains. Aiding just one of these dog lots costs roughly $4,000 over a span of 90 days.

We need your support to keep it all going!
Currently, Peru’s dogs have:

Bandi’s Place is set to become Peru’s first animal sanctuary and dog shelter, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming the city’s forgotten canines.
Given the presence of over 500 cramped dog lots, with each cramming up to 110 dogs in spaces meant for 12, the need for a solution became evident. Bandi’s Place was founded to counter these awful conditions and to ensure every dog in Peru has a fighting chance.
Unlike other initiatives, Bandi’s Place not only focuses on animal rescue but also emphasizes community engagement, public awareness, and holistic care in its mission to transform the lives of Peru dogs.
A single dog lot costs about $4,000 to support for 90 days. Your contribution aids in renting transportation, ensuring timely medical supplies and food provisions, and coordinating with veterinary professionals.
Absolutely! Bandi’s Place facilitates local and international adoptions, ensuring that rescued Peru dogs find their forever homes.
Yes, besides being an animal sanctuary, we have a 24/7 rapid response team and a comprehensive veterinary clinic, and we even offer complimentary emergency services via live Zoom for any urgent situations.
There are over 500 dog dirt lots that we know about today, each holding between 60 and in some cases up to 110 animals. These have about enough space to house 10 to 12 dogs. The recurring theme is very little food, no medicine, no doctors, unvaccinated and injured animals
