About Cunucu Animal Rescue

Co-founders Jane and Jeremy have longstanding ties to Aruba, dating back decades. The island is home to a vibrant, welcoming, and loving community, but, simply put, there is a homeless dog crisis in this beautiful place.

A vast number of pups in Aruba are not sterilized, and as a consequence, there are thousands of homeless dogs aimlessly wandering the streets, desperately searching for food and a safe place to rest their paws. Without a sufficient pool of local, potential adopters, many of these homeless pups tragically end up in the kill cage - a dirty, enclosed space, where people drop unwanted dogs to be euthanized daily by an Aruban, government worker.

Jeremy and Jane have spent time volunteering at the Aruban Animal Shelter in Oranjestad, currently the only brick-and-mortar shelter on the island. This work, and an experience with one pup, in particular, inspired the idea for Cunucu Dog Rescue. While at the shelter in December 2018, Jane and Jeremy fell in love with a pup named Hazel, and knew they could not return home without her. After getting Hazel the medical attention she needed, Jane and Jeremy scooped her up, got her through customs, and brought her back to the US, where they promptly found Hazel an incredible forever home.

Immediately following their experience with sweet Hazel, Jane and Jeremy created Cunucu Dog Rescue. By partnering with the dedicated yet under-resourced rescue organizations on the ground in Aruba and serving as a direct conduit to potential adopters in the U.S., Cunucu Dog Rescue seeks to dramatically expand the number of forever homes available for the native Cunucus in need on the island.

And with your help, we can play a meaningful role in saving these beautiful pups!

Cunucu Animal Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in NY, NY.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
