There are two cute puppies on Emotions by Hodelpa beach area, Juan Dolio, I fell in love with them. I do not see a bright future for them, they are skinny with fleas. I gave them food during my stay. I hope someone that read this rescues both of them. I have pictures but I do not know how to upload here.

Save the dogs
yes I am sure those cute puppies need food...but maybe a Dominican child would be a better place to give a helping hand........
The more people I know, the more I love animals. Dogs especially. We don't deserve them, really.
There was someone looking for chihuahuas recently and I found a couple of rescues in SD.
I’ll message them and see if they have the time or resources to check out these JD dogs.
Boricua if you see this, and are in a position to help in the future, there are DR rescues looking for people to take adopted strays back to Canada/US families. I did this a few times for a rescue in Punta Cana, and it was simple and easy. No charge to you besides a few extra minutes at the airport.

I wished to take them home, somebody I know from DR told me there is a process before taking them home . I saw them during my last day of my trip, according to employees they live there.
I was just in contact with the director of Dogs and Cats of the DR :
They are completely overloaded with animals to re-home. There is no more "room at the Inn" so to speak.
I don't think the airlines, even Canadian ones, are as good about bringing pets for free as they used to be, can anyone confirm that?

The island definitely needs a humane euthanization program. There are way too many stray animals suffering.
They have to be vet checked, cleared of fleas or any other parasites, up to date on shots, and given a clean bill of health to travel. It takes a few months but there’s always dogs needing homes, everywhere on the planet.
Rescátame Punta Cana is the rescue I worked with. I will ask them if Covid has put a major damper on things for them.
They implement a sterilization campaign that had made a big difference there on the local viralata (virUlata?) population.
Its not the be all end all solution, responsible dog ownership is. In the meantime, spaying, neutering, adopting strays, and supporting rescues helps a lot.
