Norma

your support as a ‘foster from afar’ will help change this sato’s life forever.

Municipal shelters in Puerto Rico are severely overburdened and maintain a combined 94%+ euthanasia rate. They barely have the space or resources to keep dogs housed for any length of time, let alone give them access to extensive veterinary care.

When we first met Norma, she was at one of these shelters. The shelter was giving her basic care; however, Norma was positive for heartworm. Heartworm is a common disease in Puerto Rico, but requires costly and tedious treatments in order to recover. If left untreated, it can lead to a very slow and painful death. To save her life, we brought Norma into our own program, where she is now receiving the life-saving treatment she needs at our clinic. While she is on her recovery journey, Norma would love your support as a Foster From Afar to help her continue to get the care that she needs. Sign up to foster Norma from afar below.

In exchange for any gift of $24 or more, you’ll receive a special digital postcard and a link to download a printable, foldable card. You can print the postcard for yourself to show off your foster dog or give the greeting card to a loved one as a gift to let them know that a grateful sato was fostered in their honor. We’ll also keep you in the loop of Norma’s progress.  Just like an in-person foster, you’ll be among the first to know when she completes her vetting, flies to a new family, and has all her dreams come true.
