We’re taking it to Colorado!!!!!!

We’re taking it to Colorado!!!!!!

I’m reaching out to you, and any of your friends who might be able to help us at Amigos de los Animales (ADLA) in regards to a new initiative I’m working on with dear friend and sister ACO/CI Jennifer Montry. Montry is an expert in sustainable businesses and is helping us find appropriate sheltering solutions for some of Puerto Rico’s Husky and Alaskan Dog strays which do so well in the cold mountain climates.

Since I have been president of Amigos de Los Animales, here in Puerto Rico, we have been rescuing Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds and other arctic type long-haired breeds. They are so uncomfortable in this heat.

By now, you all know there is a huge problem on the island with dog over population and now that the PR economy has collapsed, there are many more dog owners who have abandoned their pets to the streets and beaches, and leave them to suffer and die alone. Many of those dogs are arctic breeds which do not belong in tropical environments in the first place and who suffer greatly in 85+ degree year-round weather.

Most of the smaller dogs we take into our shelter in PR get shipped to no-kill shelters along the east coast US where they get adopted. We have a partnership with American Airlines and a unique collaboration with other rescue orgs. such as All Sato Rescue who have helped us transport throughout the years. Once we get them spayed/neutered and they receive full vet checks and socialisation we ship our rescued pets to US mainland shelters where they are adopted.

What’s the plan?
Certified Animal Control Officer / Cruelty Investigator, Jennifer Montry is based just west of Denver. She has lived in Denver for 3 years and among other things, she currently runs the most profitable Airbnb rental property in Colorado. The plan is for Amigos de los Animales to buy a farm property west of Denver with loads of acreage, that will be used as our non-profit Arctic Dog Rescue which will re-home these beautiful cold weather rescues out of Puerto Rico and into great homes in Colorado’s more climate-appropriate environment.

The shelter will be economically sustainable by running off funds generated from renting the main house out on Airbnb to tourists, and will piggy back off the success of Jennifer’s current listing, And it will bring in a monthly rent to the ADLA shelter here in Piñones, Puerto Rico.

Between us Jennifer and I have a few decades of experience in dog rescue and we have enlisted the help of a crowd funding specialist and marketing team to help us raise the funds for the property. As part of our responsibility in beginning a successful crowd funding campaign we must unite a list of 150 individuals who are passionate about protecting animals and willing to help us out in any way possible.

This does not mean we are looking for donations right now, but rather, we are looking for people who are passionate about helping the abandoned and abused animals of PR and would agree to spread the word of what we are trying to achieve. Would you be willing to help Amigos de los Animales grow so we can continue helping the homeless strays of Puerto Rico?

We need your help in any way possible to help spread the word of what we are trying to do to save Huskies, Alaskan Dogs and double coated dogs from Puerto Rico. If this describes you, please send me your name and email address to be part of the 150 people we need in order to begin our campaign.

Thanks for your time, please share this message and feel free to contact either Jennifer at 312-350-4266 or Adri (me) at 787-313-5653 if you have any ideas or you can help in any way. Please share your name and email to be a part of this exciting initiative and if you can send us 4 or 5 names of your animal activist friends and their email addresses, you will really be helping out!

Many Blessings and thanks for reading!!
Adri

    I might move to PR and would want a big bodyguard type of dog since I am single, female, elderly and deaf. Do you ship all your dogs to USA or can I adopt one from you?

      Hello Barbara, sorry for the late reply! Of course, you can come to our shelter and adopt a dog in Puerto Rico.
