In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, a group of taxis changed their traditional appearance to become ambassadors of a noble cause: **dog adoption**. At least 55 taxis in the city are decorated with photographs of [puppies looking for a home](https://noticiasambientales.com/animales/deja-huella-la-rioja-promueve-la-adopcion-responsable-de-mascotas/), a project that combines art, solidarity, and love for animals.
Since May 2024, the images of dogs up for adoption **adorn the taxis** thanks to the talent of photographer Nora Lezano and the artistic collaboration of Renata Schussheim. The photos are part of the *2025 Solidarity Calendar* of the Viva la Vida Foundation, dedicated to animal welfare.
These images not only capture attention but **seek to connect with passengers in a special way**: inside each taxi, a QR code leads to a page where interested parties can learn more about the dogs available for adoption, their stories, and the artists behind the project.
The goal of the **Viva la Vida Foundation** is to rescue dogs in vulnerable situations and find them responsible homes. Laura Rama, who leads the organization, explained that this initiative aims to **promote responsible adoption**, offering a second chance to animals while raising awareness about the benefits of adopting instead of buying.

## A message that transcends
Beyond promotion, this action **seeks to change the perception of responsible pet ownership**, highlighting the commitment involved in providing them with a safe and loving home. While caring for a pet presents challenges, **the emotional bond that is created is invaluable**.
This original campaign **captured the attention of residents and visitors of Buenos Aires**, showing how art, solidarity, and creativity can come together to improve the lives of animals and promote positive change in society.
