SURPRISE, AUDREY! YOU’RE GOING TO RALEIGH!

Tonight, sweet Audrey is leaving behind the overcrowded shelter in Puerto Rico and heading toward a whole new life filled with green grass, soft places to rest, and a loving foster home.

Audrey is a sweet, submissive girl who has so much to learn about the good life. She may not know it yet, but she just won the golden ticket! No more waiting in a crowded shelter, wondering what comes next. Her next chapter is full of possibilities, and we couldn’t be happier for her.

A HUGE thank you to her Angel Flyer for getting her to Raleigh and to her wonderful foster for opening their home and heart to this deserving girl. You have changed Audrey’s life for the better!

And now, Audrey gets the chance to change someone else’s life, too. Somewhere out there is a family who will fall in love with her, give her the security she deserves, and discover just how special she is.

One flight. One foster. One life changed forever.

This is what it means to be part of the Caribbean Paws family.

PUPDATE: Olivia was too big to fit in a travel bag. We don’t know what dog is coming but we will be excited to meet the lucky pup! 🤗
___________________________________
Two more sweet pups may have the chance to catch a flight to Raleigh, NC!

We are working on building a network of fosters and volunteers in the Raleigh area so we can help even more deserving dogs from Puerto Rico find their way to loving homes.

These adorable littermates are hoping someone will open their heart and home to them. Do you have room to foster one of these babies? Or better yet, could one of them be your future best friend?

Every foster home makes a difference and helps us bring more dogs to safety!

And now for the fun part… anyone want to guess their breeds? We have to admit, our breed guessing skills aren’t always the best, so we’d love to hear what you think!

Please message us if you might be interested in fostering or adopting. Let’s see if we can get these pups on that flight to Raleigh!

This little sweetheart arrives Saturday night and still needs a foster. She is 10 months old and was just spayed this week. She did not have any luck finding a loving home in PR so we promised her rescuer we could find her a loving home in the States. Please help Chloe get on the right path towards a furever family.

🤍 Looking for a little white puppy to love?

We have 6 adorable little babies waiting for their chance at a new life! Meet Barbie, Briana, Becky, and Brad. These precious pups were found abandoned on the streets of Puerto Rico with their mama, left to fend for themselves.

Just a few weeks earlier, Tom and Jerry had also been found. Sadly, stories like theirs are far too common in Puerto Rico, where there are so many wonderful dogs and not enough loving homes.

Thankfully, these little ones are now safe and working on their socialization skills while completing their veterinary protocols. They are getting the care and attention they need to prepare for their big journey to the States!

✨ They will be ready to fly soon, but they need people willing to open their hearts and homes.

Could you help one of these babies by fostering or adopting? With foster homes waiting for them, we can coordinate their flights with our amazing Angel Flyers and give them the chance they deserve.

You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. Fostering gives a puppy a safe landing spot and helps make their journey to a forever home possible!

Meet Nala! Your future lap dog might be waiting for you!

Nala is a 3 year old, 16 lb sweetheart who is already in Virginia Beach and looking for a foster home or, even better, her forever family!

This lovely little girl has spent much of her life being a mama. She was dumped after having six puppies simply because she had never been spayed. Thankfully, Nala and her babies were rescued, and she was a wonderful mom to the D litter: Duke, Dafne, Dakota, and Draco.

Now it is Nala’s turn to be someone’s baby. She is spayed, retired from motherhood, and ready to enjoy the life she deserves!

Nala is calm, social, and loving. She adores people of all ages and sizes, gets along well with other dogs, but doesn’t need another dog in her home. She enjoys chewing on bones, although toys haven’t quite won her over yet. She travels well and would make a wonderful little companion and lap dog.

She did a great job meeting everyone at our adoption event yesterday, and we were reminded all over again what a sweetheart she is!

🐾 Adoption fee: $395

Let’s find Nala the loving home she has been waiting for!

Meet Duke! One brown eye, one blue eye, and a whole lot of puppy personality! At just 2.5 months old and 4 lbs, Duke is an adorable little boy who is ready to bring some fun into his forever home. He loves to run, play, and show off his signature move: splooting completely flat on the ground! (we are guessing he will grow to about 20 lbs full grown) Duke is full of the happy, silly energy you would expect from a puppy his age. He is also just entering the teething phase, so his new family should be ready for the chewing, exploring, and learning that come with puppyhood. He will need supervision, appropriate chew toys, enrichment, and plenty of patience as he grows. His mama, Nala, is also here in foster! She is a 3 year old, 14 lb Chihuahua mix who was clearly someone’s beloved pet. She seems to love everyone she meets, just like her little boy. Duke is tiny, charming, and full of life. Are you ready for a little puppy joy in your home? Apply to adopt Duke through Caribbean Paws Adoption Network! https://caribbeanpaws.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=7208 Bringing Island Hearts to Mainland Homes. ❤️

Marley is doing so well in foster, and we are loving watching this little guy grow!
At just 2.5 months old and under 5 lbs, Marley is a tiny, scruffy sweetheart with so much potential. He has even started picking up some leash skills by following the lead of his foster brother. How cute is that?
Because Marley is so little, a home with young children may not be the safest fit. Older, gentle, and considerate kids would be wonderful!
Cats and other dogs are still much bigger than Marley, but he is young enough to learn to live happily with just about any furry friend who is willing to welcome him into the family.
Marley is a special little guy, and we want to find him the perfect home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished as he grows.
Could Marley be your new best friend?

🐾 Two Island Hearts, Two Second Chances 🤍

Meet Duke and Nala, a mama and her baby who are getting a chance at the lives every dog deserves.

🐶 Duke is an adorable 2.5 month old little guy who is so tiny he fits right in the palm of your hand! Currently living in a foster home in Virginia Beach, this sweet boy is snuggly, loving, and impossible not to adore. And just look at those eyes! One brown and one blue make this little island original extra special.

🐾 Nala is Duke’s mama. She is a 3 year old, 16 pound, now spayed female who will be arriving at her foster home this week. After being dumped on the side of the road, she deserves a family who will love her, care for her, and never leave her behind again. She has so much life ahead of her, and we hope her next chapter will be filled with the security and affection she deserves.

Sadly, Nala’s story is a reminder of what can happen when dogs aren’t spayed responsibly and puppies arrive unexpectedly. Thankfully, her story didn’t end on the side of the road. Thanks to their rescuers and a whole lot of luck, Duke and Nala have been given a chance to leave the island behind and discover what it means to be safe, cherished, and part of a family.

Now we hope their next bit of luck will be finding the forever homes they deserve.
