Roof Dog?
Since 2005, the annual Roof Dog Run has been held by Roof Dogs from the Plano area as a fun family event which raises funds to benefit orphaned children in Peru and raise awareness for international needs. In Arequipa, some dogs
actually live on the rooftops of their owners' homes, serving as protectors over their family's household.
Inspired by the canines, a group of missionaries from Christ Church Plano adopted the name for themselves as a way of expressing their love and desire to protect the children of Casas Hogares children's homes. Casa Hogar San Jose and Casa Hogar Sagrada Familia are the homes of orphaned children ranging in age from 3 to 18. The Roof Dogs visit the orphanages annually and continue to be moved by the gentle spirit that these children exhibit.
All proceeds from the Roof Dog Run contribute to the Casas Hogares to build a new orphanage. The Casas Hogares provides shelter, food, clothing, and other daily necessities; as well as giving a hope for the future to children who have been abused, abandoned and neglected.
