DEAD DOG BEACH
Situated along the southeast coast of Puerto Rico, lies Yabucoa. The animals abandoned or born on the Yabucoa coast are destined to die a painful death. On a daily basis animals are being poisoned, beaten, or butchered to their demise. Animals here and throughout Puerto Rico are desperate to be rescued and receive the loving care we believe every animal deserves. With your contributions we can establish a rescue center in Yabucoa and other communities with similar needs. We can teach children torturing and killing animals is wrong. We can give parents resources to educate themselves and their kids about caring for their pets-- inevitably creating support systems for both people and animals.

"The Dynamics of Dead Dog Beach"
Location: South east coast of Yabucoa. Sits directly across from a major Shell Oil Plant. An old shipping port exists where many of the dogs find shade from the sun. Unfortunately, the port is still used by locals to train dogs such as pit bulls. Locals chain dogs to the old dock polls and force their dogs to tread water....sometimes for hours. Because of these incidences, the port is not a safe place for the dogs to rest.
Safety: There is NO controlled beach access, which means anyone can enter the beach at any time and perform any type of activity. There is NO law enforcement at the beach and seldom come when called.
Food & Water: Volunteers feed the dogs daily, and give fresh water. There is no other access to clean drinking water, except what the volunteers provide. Your donations help fund the food given to the dogs.
Medications: Medications are given on the beach when necessary. Dogs are treated for heartworm, mange, infections, etc. Your donations help fund the medications given to the dogs.
