Story
Please reference www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/Adopt  to learn how adoptions work with Defensa & Rescuers.  Poor Brandom was hit by a car and lying in the road. A kind woman saw him, brought him home, and got him treated for his injuries. Unfortunately, this woman and her husband have very serious health problems of their own and were unable to properly care for Brandom, so he was chained in their yard. One of the woman's friends, who has a lot of experience rescuing dogs, stepped in and now Brandom is with her. At her house, he is free to roam and spend time with other dogs. He also has an appointment for neuter and vaccines. Brandom is a shy but very sweet dog, and he loves playing and exploring. If you are interested in giving this deserving boy a home, please contact Rosa at rosallavat0757@gmail.com or 939-319-7180. 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 April 28, 2025, 12:39 pm

Story
Please reference www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/Adopt  to learn how adoptions work with Defensa & Rescuers.  Mally's rescuer was on her way to church on Easter Sunday when she saw Mally wandering down the middle of a road in Aguada. She couldn't leave Mally there, so she scooped her up and took her to church! Mally is a sweet and tiny girl who has an appointment with the vet to get checked out, vaccinated and spayed. For adoption inquiries, please reach out to Grisel at griselvalle62@yahoo.com or 787-629-3504.
