Otherwise known as Territorio de Zaguates, The Land of the Strays is in fact a paradise, at least for dogs and dog-lovers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a privately funded, volunteer-run, no-kill animal shelter in Costa Rica. So far, so conventional. What makes this shelter unique however is its message. Territorio de Zaguates, whose advertising campaign carries the message \u201cwhen you adopt a mutt, you adopt a unique breed\u201d, wants people to think differently about mix-breed dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Mongrels are often deemed inferior to pure breeds, but the shelter believes that championing their mixed status is the key to helping them find homes. Each dog for example is given its own unique breed, so instead of being nondescript mutts, the animals become exotically-named rarities. Ever wanted an Alaskan Collie Fluffyterrier? How about a Fire-Tailed Border Cocker or a Chubby-Tailed German Dobernauzer? If so then you know where to go!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>You could be forgiven for thinking this place was paradise\u2026<\/h3>\n<p class=\"attachment-link-container\"><a class=\"attachment-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica\/?image_id=land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-437081\" src=\"http:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-11.jpg\" alt=\"land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-11\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>But it\u2019s a real place in Costa Rica called The Land of the Strays<\/h3>\n<p class=\"attachment-link-container\"><a class=\"attachment-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica\/?image_id=land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-437072\" src=\"http:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-2.jpg\" alt=\"land-of-stray-dogs-territorio-de-zaguates-costa-rica-2\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Best part?
