DCDR, is dedicated to the well-being of over 150 dogs spread across three sanctuaries in the Dominican Republic. Many of these dogs have been rescued from dire circumstances, and without DCDR, their survival would have been unlikely. However, due to the limited availability of homes on the island, challenges in finding homes in North America, and the ongoing influx of animals in need, many of these dogs face the possibility of spending their lives in sanctuaries.

You can make a significant impact by becoming a monthly sponsor for just $30 USD (approximately $40 CAD). By doing so, you'll receive monthly updates on your sponsored dog and play a crucial role in their life as their personal hero. Your sponsorship not only provides essential support for food, shelter, and medical care but also ensures these dogs receive the love and attention they deserve. Join us in making their lives better, one sponsorship at a time.

Hi! I’m Blanquito. I am one year old and was rescued by DCDR Luperon after being found with a badly injured leg that needed to be amputated. I’m a friendly guy who gets along well with children, dogs, and cats. *** I am sponsored by Jacqueline Simons***

Olga has been waiting for a home since May 2019. Olga’s favorite things are belly rubs, chasing a ball, and playing frisbee. She’s a very active girl who would make a good jogging or hiking partner. She has a special talent of being able to jump very high so she needs a 6 ft. fenced yard. ***Katherine Hale has sponsored Olga***

Hi! I'm Lawrence,

I was rescued by DCDR and am living at the Luperon Haven. One day I was taken to the vet by my owners to have my damaged leg amputated. Sadly, my owners never returned.

I'm told that I'm a sweet and loving boy that will probably be here forever because of my breed. Soon I will need a wheelchair to get around.

Hi! I’m Monty. I am 4 years old and was brought to Coconut Hound Haven in November of 2021 with an open wound on my neck that was infected and full of screw worms. After I recovered from my injuries my family never came back to get me :-(. I am living a good life here at the sanctuary. ***I am sponsored by Kim Gilbert***

Hi! I’m Chocolate. I was hit by a car and left on the streets for days with severe injuries, including dislocated femurs and a fractured jaw, thanks to DCDR and many surgeries I have been given a second chance. *** Sponsored by Trisha McIntyre***
