Are you a stateside shelter?

Satos on their way to our Partner Shelters.

We need qualified stateside shelters to help us find loving and stable homes for our dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. Many stateside shelters find that they do not have enough locally surrendered animals to meet the high demand for adoptions. Often they have only medium to larger size dogs when people come in wanting small ones...often they have only adult dogs when families want puppies...and, sadly, often they only have types of dogs that don't appeal to every household. If there are no suitable animals available for adoption, people often are forced to go to pet stores or backyard breeders.

Puerto Rico's smaller dogs and year-round puppy cycles mean that we can meet these needs for stateside shelters....while at the same time finding wonderful homes for our needy animals.

Messages from our Partner Shelters -

We hear wonderful, positive feedback from our partner shelters on a regular basis, here is what a few had to say about recent shipments of satos -

"Hi all,

The pups were all tail wags when they arrived in Hartford. We made good time back to Norwalk. They had a quick meal and some playtime in the yard. I'm in love.

I spent this morning with them. They have settled-in just fine...Could they be any cuter? Have I told you I'm in love?

Thank you for all your hard work to get them here!" -- PAWS in Connecticut

"They are all doing wonderfully. Billy has been going home with me and will most likely find a forever home with me as well. He holds a special place in my heart. I will keep you posted on their adoptions.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this effort." -- MSPCA in Massachusetts
