We rescue dogs from poor conditions in Puerto Rico.  We pick up the dog from wherever they may be.  Most of the time this will include us picking the dog off of the street.  We try to find a foster home for our new pup, but if not we will board them temporarily or bring them home with us as we do not have a facility.  We then start assessing the dog to make sure they are in good health, but we are also looking for signs for what kind of home they would be good for.  Once they are ready to go, we have a few options.  Our goal is to send them directly to their new family, but unfortunately being a small rescue on an island, we are limited.  We work with a lot of sister rescues who take them if we are unable to find them a new home or a foster family immediately.  These sister rescues have the capacity, the staff and the volunteers to handle more animals.
