My name is Bellisima!

Our adoption process works by allowing potential adopters to work directly with the animal's rescuer to decide if it is a good match! You can find the rescuer's contact information in the animal's adoption listing. Should you encounter any problems reaching the rescuer, please let us know at defensarincon@gmail.com – we are here to help! You can read more about our adoption process at http://DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/adopt For off-island adoption, please see http://DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/travel
