Should dogs this young even BE on their own?

They are out there alone.

Every day. 

Struggling to survive. 

Dodging abuse. 

Trying to find food each day.

Struggling.

With almost no help from the community.

No support.

Few people that care about them.

We care, and we know YOU care, too.  With YOUR help, we plan to save them.  ALL OF THEM.

Clearly, we are launching Pets Alive Puerto Rico with a HUGE bang. We are going to make a huge impact in saving the neglected, abused and abandoned dogs that are dumped on the beaches and all over the local towns in Puerto Rico.

It had been so difficult in the past because we had no site there. We could pull just a few dogs at a time, get them vetted and then get them to the States where they were adopted out. This method made little impact since without spaying and neutering, the dogs left behind reproduce, resulting in a vicous cycle that left us always swimming upstream to try to save them all.  And the lack of vets to work with and lack of local foster homes or a shelter to house the dogs while we nursed them to health and prepared them for travel were huge obstacles in our efforts to save dogs remotely.

Our plan to build a Pets Alive Puerto Rico sanctuary is finally a reality. Now we have a location to help these dogs. We also plan to eventually offer low and no cost spaying, neutering and immunizations and medical assisance to those that want to keep their animals.  Too long the choice for animal loving Puerto Ricans has been to pay money they don’t have to keep their pets, or abandon them somewhere because they can not afford to get them help.  We will end that practice and we will extend our hand to all the people and animals – and offer them help.  If they wish to be kind to their pets, then we will see to it that they have that option.  That they finally, for once HAVE options.

Our new location is just perfect. Six secluded acres overlooking the mountains and lakes. Centrally located to major airports. Stunningly gorgeous property with paths that cut through the vegetation where we will build our enclosures for the dogs. The house is also beautiful. A warm and welcoming place for our supporters to come and spend a “rescue vacation”, volunteering at the sanctuary, helping to pull dogs from the streets & beaches, and transporting them stateside at the end of their stay.

Will you help us?

We are asking you to join us in this mission to save these lives. Please help us pay for just ONE dog's life, or even PART of that. Even $5 or $10 will help us. We need you. THEY need you. Please don't look at these faces and let them down.
