Puerto Rico

Our mission at Save A Friend P.R. (SAFPR) is to end the needless suffering of animals in Puerto Rico through education, spay/neuter programs, and adoptions. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization registered in Washington State, USA. We are volunteer based and receive all our funding and supplies through donations. We rescue stray dogs, give medical treatments and make sure they are healthy and socialized before arranging their adoption in a new home. Most of our dogs are flown to the States. We believe in teamwork and volunteer with other rescue groups and the Spay-a-thon. Marla Farren is our founder and has been involved in rescuing animals most of her life.

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of the animals of Puerto Rico. We operate a facility where we mostly house animals for adoption, stray animals, and accept unwanted animals through prior appointment and orientation. In addition, we have a low-cost basic health clinic where we provide sterilization and vaccination services. We rely heavily on the support that the community provides us through donations, volunteering, and other forms of participation. My name is Christian Serrano, my responsibility in the organization is to promote adoptions, temporary homes, look for responsible alternatives for unwanted animals since our spaces and resources are limited. Why do I do it? Since I can remember, I have always felt empathy for these living beings, not humans, I saw dogs, cats, horses in the street as something normal, I looked at them, fed and interacted with them, as I grew older, I understood that I did not It was normal that they were on the street or lacking attention and care, I began to look for information from organizations that offer help for stray dogs and cats, at that moment I came across the sad reality that they needed even more help, since then I I got more involved, started as a volunteer, provided a temporary home, cleaning etc with different rescue groups. Today I do not regret it, we all have a purpose in life, definitely, this is mine, as long as God allows me, I will continue to contribute my bit to improve the situation of animals on the streets of Puerto Rico.

Our mission is help animals (dogs, cats & horses) in and around the Western side of the of Puerto Rico. To spay/neuter, vaccinate, address the health of and find homes for the street animals. Secondly to work with Veterinarians throughout Puerto Rico to offer discounted spay/neuter services for owned animals

We are not a registered organization. We are a family taking care of abandonned puppies and dogs. We provide food, shelter, complete medical care without limits and as much love and attention as possible. We are doing this, because we love animals and want to help better the dismal situation here in PR, and give our puppies and dogs a forever home.
