Unfortunately, especially since Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico has been experiencing a problem with abandoned, stray dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens. It's estimated that there are at least 500,000 dogs and 1,000,000 stray cats on the island.
There are a number of wonderful rescue organizations that are doing amazing work and really need as much support as they can get to save as many of these precious furbabies as possible. Plus, helping a rescue can be a great experience for visitors to the island! Below are some of my favorites.
Rescuing animals is a passion of mine, so I decided to use my website to promote different ways you can help. As an additional incentive for people staying in my apartments, if you make a donation to any of the below organizations or offer yourself as a Flight Angel®, I will offer you a Donation Discount off of any future stay in my apartments for the amount of your donation (up to $150), or $150 off if you become a Flight Angel.
Amigos de los Animales (ADLA) Puerto Rico is a non-profit rescue organization and shelter that since 2008, rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes abused and abandoned "satos" (strays) throughout Puerto Rico. Their shelter is located in Piñones, near Carolina. After making sure the dogs are healthy and ready for a home, ADLA puts them up for local adoption or transports them to no-kill shelters in the United States through Flight Angels®
Save A Sato is a non-profit rescue organization has been around for 26 years. The main shelter of Save A Sato foundation is known as the "Shelter of Miracles", where the organization takes care of over 120 dogs and close to 200 cats (sometimes more). They also have a second shelter, "Gatolandia", only for cats. Their shelters are located in the metro San Juan area. They rescue "satos" from the streets and beaches, give them medical care, food and shelter, and plenty of love. When they are healthy, they send them to partner shelters for adoption into loving homes.
Flight Angels® is a volunteer group founded by Jada Adorno. This group works 'round the clock to pair air travelers with Puerto Rican satos and gatos needing to travel to United States. This group does amazing work! Pairing with organizations like ADLA and Save a Sato, Flight Angels® has saved countless lives by connecting Puerto Rican rescues with their furever homes or shelters stateside that can help them find their new families!

* How the Donation Discount works: If you make a donation or transport an animal through Flight Angels, please send me documentation within one week of the end of your trip (donation receipt or copies of your communication with Flight Angels and confirmation that the animal transport occurred). Then, upon future booking, mention your prior donation and the Donation Discount will be applied.
