Like the rest of the village, the food for animals is scarce. As life is filled with daily challenges, caring for pets is not a luxury the villagers can afford. As many visitors and team members have noticed the plight of the animals, there have been several contributions specifically to provide care to the beloved creatures of the village.
​
El Amor, in conjunction with the families who receive food subsidies, has started a dog feeding program.  Run by one of the mothers in Yalu, the village dogs get fed once per day.  Spay and neuter options are available, and other animal care is supported as the need arises.
