2019 was a banner year for Humane Outreach for Latin Animals. It was the year that we started our organization, that we set a lofty $12,000 fundraising goal, recruited volunteers for the first time and hoped to help 400 animals in need.

Well. 867 animals later, it’s safe to say that we hit our mark. 

We can’t thank our volunteers, donors, fundraising partners, family and Colombian locals enough for all their support in making our first year such a success.

Two successful campaigns, two Colombian cities, one senior dog re-homed in Canada, 850+ animals reached and a new network of animal advocates in Latin America, ready and willing to do more.

Then, COVID hit – effectively halting all HOLA campaigns for the forseeable future. Our 2020 campaign was cancelled and our accounts more or less went dormant. The world had been through the wringer. In early 2022, conversations amongst small animal welfare groups began to consider what might be possible. September 2022 kicked off a collaborative campaign, bigger and better than we could have imagined in Malambo, Colombia. Another 334 animals spayed/neutered thanks to donors, volunteers, our amazing veterinary team and local animal welfare advocates.
