Story
*Note: Miss Velvet is being fostered in Puerto Rico, until her perfect home is chosen. Her adoption fee includes all her vetting to date (including spay) as well a flying her to her adopters. Apply at: PRDF.org Meet Velvet! She is soooo sweet, and a wonderful, quiet, happy companion. Velvet loves other dogs, cats, and her human attention. She is very adaptable and quick to learn, as she has been successful in both a "group home" for our dogs, as well as in private fostering. Velvet was rescued with her brother, Coco, off the streets of Puerto Rico on one of our volunteer's feeding / watering routes. They were both so sweet, and looked at us pleading with those beautiful amber and green eyes... we had to try to save them permanently. So, that's just what we did! While it took a little bit of time for them to understand pet rules, Velvet is excelling nicely! She has been living with her foster in his apartment with multiple walks a day and lots of daily attention. There is also a foster cat in the home and the foster's own dog, and Velvet gets along with them all. The cat has taken to cuddling up in Velvet's "groove", and they adore each other. Velvet will do great with a family of kids, with a single person, or elderly couple - she's really a great all-around pup that can do well in multiple situations. She has been spayed, has all her shots and monthly preventatives, and we successfully treated her these past 4 months for HeartWorm and she is in great health now. Could Velvet be the dog that you've been missing in your life? Look at her smile! Let's chat, and see if you are the perfect match for her! Apply at: prdf.org and our volunteers will reach out.

Story
*Coco is in foster in Puerto Rico. His adoption fee covers his vetting to date (including neuter) and the flight to his adoptive home airport. Apply today, to be considered for this boy's family: prdf.org Meet Coco: A funny, playful, medium energy dog that enjoys other pups, grown ups and kids. He has a beautiful red coat and the tiniest little mohawk to remind you how cool he is! He has not been cat tested, but he is attentive to pleasing his humans so would likely do fine with proper introduction. Coco can thrive in a pack or as a single dog; just as long as his family wants him in their lives and includes him. :) Coco has a great balance of being a friendly dog, but warning his humans if needed. He will always give a deep, "don't screw around" bark when strangers approach the yard; once his human lets him know the person is ok, he's a wiggle butt and licks / jumps on visitors; absolutely perfect for a person wanting "protection" but not wanting to be worried about inconsistent behavior. We are working on the jumping, lol. He likes to run after a thrown ball, but it's a 50% chance he'll return with it, lol. He pushes his way into the cuddle pack to get his share, and is a happy boy. Coco is doing great on leash walks and meeting others while out. He has a fun temperament and is ready for his chosen home. Is that you? Apply at: prdf.org today and our team will reach out to you. Follow our work on IG with The Puerto Rico Dog Fund (PRDF).

Story
*Salma is being fostered in Puerto Rico, and her adoption fee covers all her vetting / care to date (including her spay) as well as flying her to an airport near her adoptive family. Apply Today at: prdf.org Meet SALMA!!! Salma has such a wonderful, patient story to tell about starting off as a scared, semi-feral dog that was caught by The Puerto Rico Dog Fund (PRDF) as a TNR and we couldn't let this sweet soul go back to the jungle. So, we kept her, and invested in her development to trust humans, start a routine, intro to new dogs, and learn that life is awesome to share with a two-legged person she loves. Salma loves other dogs, is respectful of cats, is tolerant of kids (although loud or sudden child play makes her nervous), is now leash and recall trained, and is very treat motivated - so she continues to progress nicely. She is quite cautious with new situations / people, but once you earn her trust, she is EXTREMLY loyal (without being protective or scary); she simply wants to be near her "rock" of a person. She is doing AMAZING as we transitioned her from our group shelter area to an individual foster home. Her foster mama, Adi, and her foster brothers Oso and Petey (Petey was also a PRDF dog last year!) are teaching her something new every day - and Salma is reminding those doggie boys how to train and listen, lol! We seriously joked that Foster Adi was sending us "stunt dog videos" of Salma, because we didn't recognize how QUICKLY she progressed as a "home dog" once in Adi's care. She has blossomed into a GREAT pup. Are you a patient, quiet home that wants a loyal dog to sit at your feet while you WFH and then go on long walks with a sneaky treat in your palm? Salma may be right for you! Follow all the work we do at PRDF on IG. Let's save more Satos!
