These are some of the faces that look to us for food each week. Last week, we couldn't tell them that we were $600 short on the $5 Friday campaign to feed them.

Each dog costs around $13USD to feed each week. This amount feeds the one dog and allows us some left over to distribute food in town to starving dogs. I have included the list of the dog's names in the comments. This week, we ask that you donate in the name of one of the dogs on the list - as a commitment to feeding that dog this week. We need 69 people to step forward and donate $13 each (one dog). Or, 32 people willing to donate $25 each (2 dogs). Even better, choose a dog and commit to feeding the dog for a month with a recurring donation. ***Please make sure all donations are in USD. Methods to donate below. 👇

They depend on us. We depend on you. Commit to them this week. Let's make it a goal to cross every name off of the list by Sunday. Can we do it?

**PS... Any amount helps. ❤️

It's Tuesday.

Jamaican dog rescue is a never-ending uphill battle. One that has been made even harder this past August by a new regulation put in place by the Center for Disease Control in the United States that requires that any dogs coming into the US**:

(1) Appear healthy upon arrival,
(2) Be at least six months of age,
(3) Have an ISO-compatible microchip implanted for identification purposes, and
(4) Be accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form online submission receipt (no cost) and written documentation that the dog has resided or otherwise been only in rabies-free or low-risk countries for the six months before attempted entry into the U.S.

A dog entering the US from a rabies-free or low-risk country, like Jamaica, may enter the U.S. at any U.S. airport or port. The airlines themselves have their own requirements for transporting animals that have also been affected by this CDC change. While puppies are always an easier "sell" to potential adopters and fit nicely under the airline seat with a flight angel, 6+-month-old dogs are usually bigger than cabin limitations and must fly cargo, which adds another layer of work to the adoption process.

Negril Pup Rescue exists to rescue, rehabilitate and REHOME dogs. While we do have dogs in palliative care (permanent residents due to age, injury, etc.), we wish to re-home as many of our rescues as possible so we can free up space to do more good work. We are hoping to find alternate avenues for moving our rescues to places where homes are available. If you have suggestions or connections, please post them in the comments or reach out to us. We need a community to get this done!

**If you are in the United States and interested in adoption, we will still move heaven and earth to figure out how to get your dog to you.

The amount of work that goes into running a rescue in Jamaica is a 24/7, non-stop, exhausting and at times a soul sucking effort of love, care and compassion. It is not easy to see the dire conditions of the street dogs and not have the resources to help. The rescue is bursting at the seams.

It’s not just about caring for the 80+ dogs currently housed at the rescue but the non-stop effort that goes into raising money from donations to feed, house, provide medical care and other associated costs.

The holiday season is a particularly challenging time of year to raise money as so many are busy preparing for Christmas and other celebrations that come this time of year.

The need doesn’t stop, the bills don’t stop, the work doesn’t stop, it just keeps piling up.

Donations are down and we need your help.

Can we call upon you to take just a moment to make a difference in the lives of the dogs at the rescue?

Please give the gift of love this holiday season so Negril Pup Rescue can remain viable as there is so much more work to do.

$5 Friday
Slowly, the damage from July’s hurricane is being repaired, the front fence finally up.
Slowly, Ollie is learning to trust and experience love probably for the first time in his life.
The outcome for Ollie and all the dogs housed at the rescue would have had a much different outcome if it weren’t for Negril Pup Rescue.
It’s a hard existence to be a dog rescue in a country that mostly views these dogs as a nuisance that needs to be eradicated and where animal cruelty laws are essentially useless and of low priority.
Ultimately, the work is also to secure a sustainable funding stream to keep the rescue viable and secure for the future.

Equally important is to secure a way to get the adoptable dogs to international adopters to free up kennel space so more dogs can be rescued from a life of injury, disease and starvation.

Help by spreading the word, start the conversation, share, be an advocate, a spokesperson for the rescue and reach out to us if you can help by being boots on the ground, have ideas to expand our reach or connections.

Every Friday we put out a post to ask this community of animal lovers to donate to help us reach our weekly goal of raising $700 to keep the food bowls filled.

Bettina Ines Petzold, thank you for your generous donation in memory of your father Manni and his beloved street dogs.

Little Ollie, so much suffering in his short time.
He is on the mend and in time will learn to trust humans.
It also takes money to take in these abused souls and to treat infections and for pain management.
We have fallen way short of our goal to raise $700 for $5 Friday and Ollie’s x-rays and neuter alone was nearly $300.
Negril Pup Rescue can only continue to help pups like Ollie with your support.
Please, share and invite friends to be a part of this caring community.
Having a secret Santa at work this year? Ask to send a donation to Negril Pup Rescue.
The need is so great and every dollar matters.

On behalf of Ollie, thank-you.

Success stories.

Negril Pup Rescue was there for these lucky ones but for too many help came too late or not at all.

Negril Pup Rescue was there when these pups needed help and were in some instances at death’s door.

Negril Pup Rescue was able to save these precious lives because of your support.

The Christmas and holiday season is particularly challenging for the rescue as donations slow down but the work at the rescue is only increasing.

The most urgent need is to maintain a steady donation stream and you can set up reoccurring donations on the website so you can be assured not to miss the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the dogs in Negril who have no other hope than Negril Pup Rescue.

Ollie is home after being neutered and x-rayed. This young boy is 22 weeks old and has broken toes on his left foot and a broken hip on his right side, results from being hit by a car.
Poor puppy had a very rough begining in life. His former owner found him a nuisance and didn’t want him and made it known to poor Ollie, and as such, Ollie is extremely timid and will bite if scared and cornered. (We are working on it.) He allows us to pet him now when we are petting other dogs. This is a huge improvement.
Ollie also had a tight wire around his neck. You can still see the indentation.

This is where your donations go. They help us care for dogs like Ollie. With your donations, we can get xrays, medical attention, medications, food, etc.

We could not do this without you, our amazing supporters! Thank you!

It's . More than ever, the mission of Negril Pup Rescue is being tested. There are more dogs, more requests, more pleas for help and more seemingly hopeless situations for the stray and abandoned dogs of Negril and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, there is less space, less money, fewer fosters, and more strict regulations regarding rescue to the US. Our rescue is overflowing and after a brutal hurricane and tropical storm season, we are floundering with huge bills to pay and 80 dogs to feed.

You can help. Not just on Giving Tuesday but every day. Negril Pup Rescue is a husband-and-wife team who have dedicated their home and their lives to saving animals. They made the commitment in 2014 to these animals and have walked-the-walk ever since, at great expense and sacrifice. Now, it's your turn to join us in helping them to fulfill their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing dogs in Negril. Here's how you can help today, tomorrow and every day:

1. Make a donation. Money helps to feed the dogs ($800 per week), provide vet care and cover the cost of repairing the damage from the summer storms ($30,000 USD). Visiting soon? Carry physical supplies for donation in your luggage (reach out to find out what is needed most at the time).

2. Host a fundraiser. Everyone has friends and family who love dogs. Start a GoFundMe campaign. Start a Facebook post and choose Raise Money in the drop-down menu. Then choose Negril Pup Rescue. Write a personal plea as to why this cause is most important to you. Be graphic in your description of the need. Implore the support of your friends and family. Offer to match their gifts.

3. Today and every day, SHARE SHARE SHARE. When you share our posts to your timeline and in groups that you belong to, you expand the reach of our post and help to educate others to the plight of stray and abandoned dogs in Negril. Resort/vacation groups are critical. Our experience is that while many at the resorts are sympathetic to the animals and go out of their way to bring treats, feed them and bring them water, most tourists do not know that Negril Pup Rescue exists or that there is a method to (a) support the animals or (b) adopt the animals when their vacation is over. Are you currently on vacation? Tell your neighbors at the next table, in the next beach chair, at the martini bar. You'll be surprised at how many friendly faces you will meet. You might even make new friends!

🐕‍🦺 Paws up for Giving Tuesday! Support our mission to care for stray and abandoned dogs in Negril, Jamaica. Together, we can make a life-changing impact. 🐾💖
