Humane Society of Puerto Rico

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of the animals of Puerto Rico. We operate a facility where we mostly house animals for adoption, stray animals, and accept unwanted animals through prior appointment and orientation. In addition, we have a low-cost basic health clinic where we provide sterilization and vaccination services. We rely heavily on the support that the community provides us through donations, volunteering, and other forms of participation. My name is Christian Serrano, my responsibility in the organization is to promote adoptions, temporary homes, look for responsible alternatives for unwanted animals since our spaces and resources are limited. Why do I do it? Since I can remember, I have always felt empathy for these living beings, not humans, I saw dogs, cats, horses in the street as something normal, I looked at them, fed and interacted with them, as I grew older, I understood that I did not It was normal that they were on the street or lacking attention and care, I began to look for information from organizations that offer help for stray dogs and cats, at that moment I came across the sad reality that they needed even more help, since then I I got more involved, started as a volunteer, provided a temporary home, cleaning etc with different rescue groups. Today I do not regret it, we all have a purpose in life, definitely, this is mine, as long as God allows me, I will continue to contribute my bit to improve the situation of animals on the streets of Puerto Rico.

The adoption process can be in person or virtual by appointment, our link for the virtual process is hspr.org/adopcion, the adoption fee varies according to the age of the pet and its needs, a form is filled out, interviewed and qualify.
