About TLC Animal Rescue, PR
Program Initiatives
Because adoption chances for dogs in Puerto Rico are very low (approximately 3%), Once the animals are ready for adoption, we air transport them to cities across the U.S. in order to help them find new families. This is done through partners in the form of shelters or fosters.

TLC Animal Rescue, serving Puerto Rico and Florida, was established in 2008 and is run solely by volunteers through the generous help of our supporters and their donations.
We serve as a model for animal rescues worldwide. Today, the relationship between humankind and animals is guided by compassion.
Pet overpopulation and animal cruelty are being reduced through animal welfare legislation, education of responsible pet ownership, rescue, adoption, non-euthanasia, and mandatory spay/neuter policies.
We are here for the welfare of homeless animals. Our priority is to facilitate the rescue and adoption of stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and surrendered animals and to place them into permanent, loving homes. In the interim, we will provide appropriate foster and veterinary care, proper nourishment, and give them plenty of love and attention.

Our Volunteers
Why Volunteering Matters
At TLC Animal Rescue, PR, every wagging tail and gentle purr tells a story of resilience, hope, and love. Since 2008, we've been a sanctuary for animals in need—stray, abandoned, neglected, and abused pets who deserve a second chance. But, behind every successful rescue, there's a team of compassionate volunteers who make it all possible.
🌟Volunteers: The Lifeblood of Our Mission
TLC is run entirely by volunteers. That means every transport arranged, every vet visit scheduled, every foster home coordinated, and every adoption finalized is powered by people who give their time, energy, and hearts freely. Without them, our mission would simply not be possible.
🐾Be a Hero for Paws in Puerto Rico! TLC Animal Rescue, PR is 100% volunteer-run, and we need YOU. Whether you can foster, transport, donate, or simply share our mission, every act of kindness saves lives.

About The Founder
TLC Animal Rescue, PR, was founded in 2008, by Tammy as I am known. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Retired and wanted to start traveling, along with my retired husband, Robert. I was a first time Grandmother and had no plans of making any permanent moves. My last trip to the Island, in 2007. I noticed the situation with the stray dogs, but, thought, maybe, it was, because I went to a different part of the Island.
I returned for a vacation in 2007 and again, noticed the huge problem, all over the Island. I was older than I was in the summers, when, I would come home on summer vacations. I was offered a relocation package by one of my old clients. I, spoke to my husband, and we decided it would be part time, and I would travel home, or he would travel to the island. We had Two pets of our own. Jessy and Jorgy. That's where my passion for animals began.
Since then, I, have rescued and rehomed thousands of animals, along with other rescue partners on the island.
Our Mission

Foster or donate everyone can do something
TLC Animal Rescue, PR is a passionate, volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Puerto Rico and Florida, dedicated to saving the lives of stray, abandoned, neglected, and abused animals. Here's a deeper look at what they do and why it matters:
Limited Funding:
Most rescues rely heavily on donations and grants.
Veterinary care, food, shelter maintenance, and transport costs add up quickly.
Without consistent funding, even basic operations can be jeopardized.
Veterinary Access & Medical Costs:
Animals often arrive injured, sick, or malnourished.
Specialized care (especially for wildlife or exotic animals) can be expensive and hard to find.
Spay/neuter programs are essential but costly.
Behavioral & Socialization Challenges:
Many rescued animals have experienced trauma or neglect. They may require time, training, and patience to become adoptable. Behavioral issues can deter potential adopters
Disease Control:
Contagious illnesses like parvovirus or kennel cough can spread rapidly in crowded environments.
Quarantine protocols and vaccinations are essential but resource intensive.
Public Misconceptions:
Some people view rescued animals as “damaged” or “risky.” Breed-specific stigma and lack of education about adoption contribute to low adoption rates.
