Story

Please reference www.DefensaAnimalDePuertoRico.org/Adopt to learn how adoptions work with Defensa & Rescuers. Meet Choco! Here is her story as told by her rescuer: "A few days ago, I stumbled upon a little surprise - five sweet pups hiding out together. Most of them were too shy to come close, darting away into hiding…but not Choco. She walked right up with a wagging tail and the gentlest eyes, ready to trust, love, and be loved. Choco is about 3 months old and full of puppy charm. She’s the only one of her litter who was brave and curious enough to come out and seek human connection, and it shows in everything she does. She’s super friendly, loves giving kisses, and will snuggle up close for nap time or movie nights. Choco will grow to be a large dog, and she is already showing signs of being loyal and smart. She deserves a loving home where she can grow up safe and happy. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly pup with a heart full of love, Choco is waiting for you. Ready to meet her? Reach out and let’s set up a time — Choco’s future family might be just a message away!" For adoption inquiries, please reach out to Jay at Thank you for considering adopting a rescued animal.
