We rescued this sweet chocolate lab the other day after she collapsed in front our house. She is a nice pup but really sick. At this time she is at the vet’s office in Fajardo.

Please, if you know of anyone who is willing to offset the vet care (bill expected to exceed $1500) or who would like to adopt her when she is well, go to the Animal Welfare of Culebra website to donate.

ANIMAL WELFARE OF CULEBRA ANNOUNCES NEW PROGRAM

The Animal Welfare of Culebra, Inc., a non-profit organization, has announced a new program in conjunction with the new Ecological School in Culebra, to promote the sterilization of the island’s animals. In cooperation with the first, second, and third grade teachers, a program was developed to encourage the children in those grades to convince a parent, neighbor, friend to have their animal(s) sterilized in order to reduce the animal overpopulation in Culebra.

Upon the sterilization, the child will receive a tee shirt with the inscription, “Yo cuido los animales de Culebra.” Their picture will be taken each time an animal is sterilized, placed on a special bulletin board, and, at the end of the school year, the child with the most pictures will receive a special prize.

To learn more about this program, and how you could possibly help, please contact Terrie Hayward, 787-742-0257, or Addie Vasquez, 787-742-0353.
