Saving lives, completing families, and building a healthier more stray free Puerto Rico
Welcome to Palmas Animal Welfare
Palmas Animal Welfare was founded on the idea that every dog and cat deserves to live a full, healthy and happy life. We are devoted to those dogs and cats who have been neglected, abandoned, and mistreated.
*From the streets of Puerto Rico to loving homes-every rescue is a story of hope*

Who We Are
At Palmas Animal Welfare our mission is to confront Puerto Rico’s stray animal crisis with compassion, responsibility and action. Guided by strict shelter medicine protocol’s, we do extensive vetting and prepare animals for safe fostering and adoption, often flying them to loving families stateside through trusted partners.
Education:
We work to build awareness about responsible pet ownership, with a strong emphasis on sterilization as the most effective way to break the cycle of the stray and suffering.
Healthier Stronger Puerto Rico:
By reducing the stray population, we not only protect animals, but also contribute to safer streets and healthier communities for all who call Puerto Rico home.
With our valued shelter partner, El Faro de Los Animales, we strive to give every animal, not just a chance at survival, but a chance at a better life, while creating healthier more stray free communities across Puerto Rico.
Dog Of The Month: Meet Daisy!
Meet Daisy, a 3-year-old female mixed breed. Daisy’s story unfolds from the depths of cruelty and was saved by PAWS. She is thriving in her foster home and is waiting to find her forever home. She is good with children and adults and likes to play with other dogs. Is Daisy the dog to complete your family?
Those who believe in unconditional love are dog and cat owners.
