Island dog is a charity dedicated to helping the hundreds of stray dogs and abandoned dogs on the streets of Puerto Rico.
About them:
| www.islanddog.com wrote: | Who we are: Island Dog, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to building animal friendly communities in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Vieques and Culebra.
We are an animal welfare organization focused on raising public awareness concerning the sufferings and cruelty animals endure in our own United States Caribbean Islands.
Our Mission:
To provide children with "Kind News," a humane education program encouraging kindness to animals,
respect for natural habitats, good citizenship, and peaceful conflict resolution.
Feed and medicate homeless dogs living on beaches throughout Puerto Rico.
Offer clinics providing fee or low cost spay/neuter services.
Provide rescue and rehabilitation services for abused and adoptable animals.
Advocate shelter adoptions and work to eliminate puppy mills.
Promote responsible pet ownership.
OUR BELIEFS:
We realistically believe not every animal can or will be saved.
We believe overpopulation, abuse, and neglect are preventable.
We believe education breeds kindness.
We believe in a safe, happy, and healthy future for all animals in America's Caribbean.
WE BELIEVE PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A CURE. |
I came across this site from a video made by Selena Gomez (This youtube video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u3zsBZ5sv4&feature=channel_page)
I wanted to do something to help, But at the moment cannot take in any more dogs or help donate, So im going to help the way i can.
Please, If you can take in a dog or spare a few dollars, You can help this service help the dogs on the street of Puerto Rico.

There is a chance that everyone will say something positive just to try and impress you.
There is a 99% chance that everyone wants to take a dog in, but their parents will not let them. This goes out to all the under 18 people.

I don't want to be the one douchebag here, but for what reason might I decide to ship a Puerto Rican dog all the way to my home to adopt and take care of before visiting a local shelter and finding a dog there?
All I'm saying is that it's a noble cause, but I don't think everyone should be taking it up. I mean just because they have a web site...
Their goals, judging from the quote, are set in the future -- preventative strategies and the like. Little more to it than feeding some animals in the street.
Also, no offense, but if I had cash lying around to donate to somebody, chances are that it would be to someone a little closer to where I live. (Unless it's one of those schemes where you pay $17 a month to feed a puppy with rice and they send you pictures. Those puppies were cute.)
