In Latacunga, Cotopaxi, the Animal Help Foundation has launched a citizen-led campaign to collect signatures for the protection of community dogs and the promotion of responsible pet ownership. 

The initiative seeks to address public concerns regarding dog aggressiveness in communal spaces. According to Daniela Zúñiga, founder of Animal Help, investigations into reported aggression incidents suggested the animals involved had owners rather than being community animals. To address these issues, organizers are advocating for sterilization and measures to prevent abandonment, including the development of a digital platform and merchandise sales to fund sterilization programs.
