Rescue FAQs

PAWS Wide Open Rescue was founded in 2018. We are a non-profit organization composed of 5 women that was formed in hopes of providing a refuge for neglected animals on the island of the Dominican Republic. We have also expanded our efforts to Puerto Rico, another underserved Caribbean island with a huge stray dog population. Unfortunately, the situation in the Caribbean is dire, with dogs and cats multiplying to no end. In addition, we receive dogs from VA and NC kill shelters and also network with and support other dog, cat and wildlife rescues in our area. Through donations and sponsorships each month, we can continue our life-saving mission. Please send us a message to find out ways you can help! www.facebook.com/pawswideopenrescue Adopt. Advocate.

Additional adoption info

PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE US IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. We are a small organization comprised of volunteers that all work tirelessly to find homes for the dogs in our care. Submitting an inquiry then not following through with completing the application takes our time away from the many other tasks we have. Yes, we have a lengthy application, because we want to ensure that our dogs go to the best homes possible.

Submitting an application does NOT guarantee adoption. If you apply for a certain dog but don’t get it, please understand that we may receive many applications for the same animal. We will always try to place the appropriate dog in the appropriate home.

Adoption fee is $275 (depending on expenses while in our care). We spare no expense on the care of our rescues and are looking for homes who can do the same.

Donations are greatly appreciated and help us continue our life-saving work! PayPal: @pawswideopenrescue Venmo: @pawswideopenrescue CashApp: $pawswideopenrescue
