MORE INFORMATION TO COME...
The Taylor-Cheris Foundation's president, David Cheris, recently traveled to Cusco, Peru to volunteer his time and resources at a local university’s animal sanctuary.
The sanctuary is home to a variety of animals that have been abused, abandoned, or identified as endangered. During his visit, David actively contributed by cleaning enclosures, preparing food, donating much-needed supplies, and providing companionship and care to the animals. His hands-on service reflects the Foundation’s deep commitment to animal welfare and global community engagement.

During this trip, over $1000 in food, medicine, toys, treats, and sanitary supplies were transported to an animal shelter in Aruba. We spent time with the dogs and cats, cleaned cages, and fed them. It was a rewarding experience!
This poor baby just laid in the corner. She enjoyed some petting though.
