Please reference www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/Adopt  to learn how adoptions work with Defensa & Rescuers.  In mid May, a good samaritan found a pregnant dog who had been dumped at an abandoned house in San German. The dog soon gave birth to three puppies—Mateo, Iker, and Abril. The puppies are now almost two months old, and they are happy, playful, and get along with cats, dogs, and people! They are also parasite-free and have had their first vaccines. For adoption inquiries, please contact Ana at ana.j.navarro@gmail.com or 787-518-3950. Thank you for considering adopting a rescued animal.   Learn more about what we do and support our efforts to help the street animals of Puerto Rico at www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org May 15, 2025, 2:16 pm

Story
Please reference www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/Adopt  to learn how adoptions work with Defensa & Rescuers.  Kaya was found outside of Panadería La Cumbre in Vega Baja in early May, with a fleas and a swollen leg. Her rescuer believes she may have been hit by a car. Now flea-free and walking much better, she has an appointment with the vet to get checked out, vaccinated, and sterilized. Kaya is young (6-8 months old), very sweet, and loves attention! She gets along well with dogs (a bit of food aggression, though); she's not a big fan of cats. For adoption inquiries, please contact Jay at 787-237-7924 or jaygc415@gmail.com. Thank you for considering adopting a rescued animal.   Learn more about what we do and support our efforts to help the street animals of Puerto Rico at www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org May 15, 2025, 1:32 pm
