On November 6, we took thirteen dogs to the on-going Spayathon event, which took place in Arecibo.

This weekend, a group stayed after our regular Saturday Shelter Clean-up to help clean the beaches close to the Amigos de los Animales shelter.

Amigos de los Animales (ADLA) rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes abused and abandoned animals in the island of Puerto Rico. ADLA operates a Shelter located in Piñones, Loiza where we rescue stray dogs, rehabilitate, vaccinate and sterilize them and find new homes for them or transport them to no-kill Shelters in the mainland United States.
