Island Dog Rescue

Island Dog Rescue, a compassionate organization, is dedicated to rescuing and transporting stray and abandoned dogs from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to the mainland United States. The program encompasses various services for these canine beings in need, including rescue, feeding, boarding, and medical attention.

Island Dog Rescue's mission is twofold. First, they focus on the physical well-being of the dogs by rescuing them from the streets and providing essential care. Second, they facilitate the transportation of these dogs to the mainland US, where they have a better chance of finding loving forever homes. The organization's efforts not only save the lives of individual dogs but also contribute to the overall improvement of canine welfare in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The Island Dog Rescue program begins with the actual rescue of the dogs. Stray and abandoned dogs are identified and carefully captured, ensuring their safety and well-being. Once rescued, the dogs receive the necessary food, shelter, and medical attention. Sometimes, this care includes basic vaccinations, deworming, and spay/neuter surgeries. The dogs are then prepared for their journey to the mainland US, where they will have the opportunity to find loving families. Island Dog Rescue's commitment to these dogs does not end with their rescue and transportation; it continues even after they have been adopted into their new homes. The organization provides follow-up care and support to ensure the dogs' continued health and happiness.
