Mission: Saving Dogs and Cats

We receive many daily calls for help, including medical, food, and rehoming needs. In 2022 we helped more than 230 dogs and cats living with families in our community. We anticipate that this need will continue to grow in 2023. In the past October, we also focused on post-hurricane flooding relief in the low-income communities of Cortés and the farms of Palmar. We collected a large amount of pet food, cat litter, linens, toiletries, clothing, food, and cash, thanks to the generous donations of our volunteers. It was delivered to the special people in these communities who give what little they have extra to help homeless dogs and cats.

Many of our intakes are dogs and cats that were lost, abandoned, and even discarded. We receive requests for help daily. In 2022, we took in over 165 dogs and cats. They have been loved and cared for by our volunteers and veterinarians. Over 150 of these animals found their forever homes in 2022, for which we are so grateful. Our foster families are our lifeline, with limited living spaces and no kitten nursery or proper space for puppies at the shelter. Some of our extraordinary fosters lost hours of sleep bottle-feeding tiny kittens, and so many puppies and adults are receiving care in the comfort of loving homes.

Spaying and neutering dogs and cats are the only solutions to their overpopulation and suffering when rendered homeless. This year we spayed/neutered 432 community cats and dogs and hope to do many more in 2023!
