If You Are Trying To Help a Dog or a Cat in Puerto Rico

If you can fly them home with you?

Flying animals from Puerto Rico to the USA  is easy and not that expensive when you consider it is likely saving that animals life.  We have a Travel Page to help.  Once in your home area,  you (or a friend) can keep the animal as your pet or take the animal to a NO KILL SHELTER  or  foster the animal while  you market the animal for adoption in your home area.  The only shelter we know of accepting dogs and cats is a KILL shelter – Villa Michelle,  They do work to adopt animals out but it is a KILL shelter (787) 834-4510

If you are not able to fly them home with you?   We can help with Vet services and/or Marketing for adoption
