My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✨ Meet the Sisters! ✨

Shakira, Sofia, and Cristina are three beautiful 18-month-old sisters (40–47 lbs) rescued from Puerto Rico. These girls were abandoned as tiny puppies in the mountains, but they’ve grown into gentle, loving dogs with so much affection to give.

They are sweet-natured, friendly, and get along wonderfully with other dogs. Each one has her own charm, but all three share the same gentle spirit and grateful heart.

Now they’re ready to leave their past behind and find the forever families they deserve. Could one of these island beauties be your new best friend?
