My name is Bo!

Submitting an application does NOT guarantee adoption. If you apply for a certain dog but don’t get it, please understand that we may receive many applications for the same animal. We will always try to place the appropriate dog in the appropriate home.

Adoption fee is $275 (depending on expenses while in our care). We spare no expense on the care of our rescues and are looking for homes who can do the same.

PAWS Wide Open Rescue was founded in 2018. We are a non-profit organization composed of 5 women that was formed in hopes of providing a refuge for neglected animals on the island of the Dominican Republic. In the past year, we have also expanded our efforts to Puerto Rico, another underserved Caribbean island with a huge stray dog population. Unfortunately, the situation in the Caribbean is dire. The dogs multiply without end, many are poisoned, killed or starved.

In addition, we receive dogs from VA and NC kill shelters and also network with and support other dog, cat and wildlife rescues in our area.

Through donations and sponsorships each month, we can continue our life-saving mission. Please send us a message to find out ways you can help!
