Our goal is simple. We want more animals in loving homes, fewer animals on the streets, and a Puerto Rico where less and less animals need rescuing.
Adopt a light
Create New Stories with Bright Futures
For more than 25 years, El Faro de los Animales has helped change the stories of abandoned dogs and cats across Puerto Rico. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization, we rescue, rehabilitate and protect animals through veterinary care, adoption, transport partnerships and lifelong sanctuary when needed.
With your support, each animal receives the care, safety and compassion they need to move forward, along with the opportunity to find a loving home where a brighter chapter can begin.
