Who we stand for

WE SEE GHOSTS

We see Ghosts.

In the heart of Puerto Rico, many homeless street dogs roam unnoticed, uncared for and unloved. To the majority of the community in Puerto Rico, these dogs are like phantoms – present, yet overlooked; beings without names or recognition.

But at Puerto Rico Ghost Dog Rescue, we see them.

We stand for these "Ghost Dogs," the forgotten souls living in the shadows. We are their voice, their beacon, ensuring they're not just seen but also cherished.

At Puerto Rico Ghost Dog Rescue, we're committed to opening our hearts and doors to these souls, giving them another chance at life and love.
