"Roses are our specialty, rescuing dogs is our passion." This is perhaps how we can most reflect the inspiring story that Inroses SA, a rose farm based in Cayambe, has been doing for the last 16 years, when the owners, Paola and Giovanna Valdospinos, saved a little puppy that had been hit on the road to Cayambe. Since then, and thanks to their love for animals, they have been receiving more and more dogs.
Today, there are around 80 dogs living at the farm. "Each and every one are taken to the vet for a checkup after being rescued. Some will have to be hospitalized, others overcome diseases, all vaccinated, and then they will begin a new life with care and love", explains Paola.
In 8 independent cages for the most traumatized dogs and a 200 meters closed environment just for them, at Inroses each dog gets a name, females are sterilized as soon as they get there, and feeding and vaccinations are up to date. "Every day 30 dogs get out from their cages so they can walk around the farm and at night they become the most tenacious guardians for the 58 rose varieties this farm cultivates on 12 ha. They are barking and jumping around to whomever visits the farm."
They have received all kinds of dogs: dogs that had been so badly hit by a car that had to have one of their limbs amputated, so now they are three legged ones, very thin ones for not having eaten for weeks, others full with scabies or other skin diseases. They have been all taken care of.
Even though they have been supporting the dogs without any external help for the last 16 years, a few months ago they had to reach out for external help. "We had to close the farm for around a month on March because there was no way to export any product. Everywhere where we exported has begun the lockdown, so nobody was buying any roses. We started to work again on April 13, we are exporting but very few boxes, not enough to cover either farm costs or the food for our babies."
So, they decided to create a page in which any person in the world can donate so that these animals can be taken care of in the best way possible. By clicking on the following link, https://gogetfunding.com/rescued-strayed-dogs/ anyone can help with any amount. "Even a dollar is very meaningful."
Also, when buying their roses, which they export all around the world, $0.01 or $0.02 can be added. "Anything counts because we don’t have an a side foundation but it is done with Inroses money from the sales of our roses."
