At first, i may write a list of what i need to prepared for those animals such as food, water, and so on. With the increasing number of animals, i may attract some other people who love animals to donate for my institution and take part in us to make it better.               Q3. The word self-proclaim in the article means that someone claims himself is a dog lover.

QuestionQuestion1:
The owner of the shelter in Costa Rica loves dogs, and they want to give these dogs a good environment to live. I think the owner might see that looks of dogs are homeless and starve. Therefore, as a people who love the dogs, he found a good place to rescue and raise these dog.

Question2:
If I were the owner of the organization, I would invite the local people who have dogs to visit the Costa Rica. However, I would charge the entrance fee for each visitor. On the one hand, I can provide the good place for pet dog to play with the dogs in the Costa Rica. On the other hand, I can use the entrance fee to improve the living condition for dogs in Costa Rica.

Question3:
I do not think the word “self-proclaimed” in the passage used very well. The word “self-proclaimed” means giving yourself tile without others’ approval and agreement. In the passage Giannopoulos thought himself as a dog lover. However, the reader do not know exactly whether is he a dog lover. In the passage, the author need a professional people’s favorable comment about the Costa Rica in order to emphasis the beauty of the shelter.

There's a place for all the abandoned and neglected stray dogs, it's called "the Territorio de Zaguates no-kill dog shelter". It is located in Costa Rica where every single stray can be nice treated and even get their single name.  This "land of strays" are open to tourists and the dogs there are ready for adoption.  Giannopoulos, a photographer who was concentrating shooting people in UK, is now photographing the strays there.  “There are a lot of dogs there that you can fall in love with,” Giannopoulos says, just like the Labrador who has a paralyzed leg and accompany him the whole shooting process

Response:(J)
As a dog lover, I will definitely take a visit to this place if there's a chance for me. These people who organized this place are so admirable and honorable. They are trying so hard maintaining this place and trying to make this place better  As the passage described, it is just the haven for the strays. The last sentence really touched me, "This sums up the place for me”. For me personally, I can really feel the love these people have for dogs, and I can see the strong connection between the dogs and the workers there. The whole place is just so sweet , hoping the Territorio de Zaguates no-kill dog shelter has a bright future.

At the Territorio de Zaguates no-kill dog shelter in Costa Rica, every animal coming to live at the rescue facility gets a name. And at the moment, there are approximately 970 dogs living here.

British photographer Dan Giannopoulos recently spent time with the dogs and the people who take care of them at this notable rescue facility, which translates to "Land of the Strays."

Located about an hour from downtown San José, the shelter is famed for its approximately 378 acres of tropical mountain land where scores of canines stroll, frolic, and race alongside human visitors, shelter employees, and volunteers. The vast majority of the animals are up for adoption and visitors can bring their own dogs to play with the rescues.

"To look out and see hundreds of dogs running across the field was completely breathtaking to me. I've never seen anything like it," says Giannopoulos, a self-proclaimed dog lover currently based in Nicaragua.

Giannopoulos, who has spent the last few years shooting alternative cultures in the UK, thought it might be difficult to photograph a story about dogs instead of people, but says they were all friendly, curious, and well-behaved. A labrador with a paralyzed leg stuck by Giannopoulos for an entire day, waiting for him if he dropped behind the group to take pictures. When it was time for him to leave, she followed him all the way to the gate and watched him get into a taxi. "There are a lot of dogs there that you can fall in love with," Giannopoulos says.

Founders Lya Battle and her husband Alvaro Saumet began taking in strays from the streets of San José about 13 years ago. When the number of dogs in the couple's small backyard topped 100, they began the process of moving their unofficial shelter to the farm owned by Battle's grandfather.

Running the facility has not been without its challenges. They are nearing the end of an arduous process to become an official nonprofit organization in Costa Rica. They also face the daunting reality of what it takes to feed the ever-increasing number of animals-the cost of the 13 66-pound bags the dogs consume a day comes to around $600. And, after 11 dogs were found dead a short time ago, Battle worries neighbors who have been trying to buy the land from her family are resorting to sordid tactics to destroy her organization.

But for the dogs, Territoire de Zaguates is a haven from past lives of abandonment and neglect. One image shows José, a full-time employee of the shelter, resting his arms on the back of a dog that is standing on his lap. A mountain ridge with rainclouds above is behind José and he's sitting in a green field covered in dogs with fur in hues of brown, black, and white. "This sums up the place for me," says Giannopoulos.

"If I can take pictures and tell their story, and help in some way, then I'll do that. That's the most important thing for me."
