Moyo Village March Fundraiser
General campaign
You probably found this fundraiser through a current or past volunteer who has or is joining us in Puerto Rico on one of Volunteer Trips. So let's get you some background on who we are and why we're asking for your donations...
Puerto Rico has one of the most out-of-control populations of street animals in the world, which has resulted in a unique mixture of dog breeds locally referred to as satos, as well as cats (gatos). Puerto Rico’s stray animal epidemic is ultimately a result of a lack of spay + neuter, which leads to unwanted litters and a never-ending cycle of reproduction. Compounding this issue is a lack of access to affordable veterinary care, and multiple natural disasters (hurricanes and earthquakes) that have destroyed thousands of lives and caused many people to abandon Puerto Rico for the mainland. Animals are left abandoned, neglected, starved, abused, and often die of injuries, parasites, disease, and infection that could be easily treated with minimal intervention. Moyo Village believes that the animal rescue mission takes an entire community, not just individuals acting alone, and we stand by other organizations in their efforts to both care for and find homes for stray + rescued animals. We are an animal rescue partnership, with boots on the ground (our volunteers!)
Your donations not only help us accomplish the big goals we set, but they help provide the monetary support for us to truly make an impact day to day - we’re able to provide funds for our partners for daily needs, veterinary care, cleaning supplies, much needed renovation projects, and to get more rescues off of the island and into forever homes.
Please know that no donation is too big or too small!
Our main goals for this March fundraiser are to:
• Give substantial monetary donations to each of our rescue partners
• Donate much needed supplies, based on our rescue's wish list
• Fund a project to get running water into Luquillo’s Safe Haven Animal Shelter
In 2024 so far, Moyo Village has:
- Donated $400 in monetary funds to our partner rescues
- Donated $230 in supplies to our partner rescues
- Flown 4 dogs off the island to mainland US for adoption
- Fostered 2 dogs
- Hosted 3 Volunteer Trips in Puerto Rico
