  The Roof Dogs are a group of local missionaries from Christ Church who feel especially called to minister to the needs of the orphan children of Casas Hogares in Arequipa, Peru.
  
  In Arequipa, some dogs actually live on the rooftops of their owners’ homes to serve as protectors over the family. This missionary
  group has therefore chosen to call themselves the “Roof Dogs” as a way of expressing their love and desire to protect these children.
  
  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 every February and continue to be deeply moved by the love of the Holy Spirit that these children exhibit.
  
  All proceeds from the Roof Dog Run will be contributed to the Casas Hogares for food, clothing, shelter and other daily necessities of the beautiful children who live in these homes.
