I want to thank everyone who tried to help me find a home for the 2 puppies i found. the vet said they were as young as 35 days. I went to the province yesterday and was told by the neighborhood kids who played with them that someone adopted them recently. They didnt give me any details and i couldnt see the pups, but i hope it was a happy ending.
I hope to spread the word about the SOS Pulguitas website (mentioned below by Sivan). I called called the phone mentioned on the site and spoke with Valeria (6343-1816). If you go to the site and click on adoptions, you will see photos of the adult dogs who need adoption and a description. she explained that they didnt post photos of puppies.
she told me for 30 pesos one of the volunteers in their network would take the puppy until it was adopted. they dont have a refuge center, but volunteers take them into their homes. So maybe this is something some expats in this group would like to do?
It would be helpful to spread the word about this website to your argentine friends and lets hope for an increased acceptance here in the culture of adoption.
On a side note, one member from this group and myself sent out photos of the cute puppies and I think we both had the same experience. Argentines wanted nothing at all to do with the puppies because they were mixed race. It seemed to be a very common reaction. I dont think back home in the usa i would have had the same widespread reaction. So, something I learned about the culture here.
