Negril Pup Rescue

08/29/2025

Life for most dogs in Jamaica is lonely. Hungry. Painful. Desperate.

But for the 90 (plus) dogs at Negril Pup Rescue, this is not the case. Our dogs are loved, fed, cared for and sleep soundly at night. And for many dogs on the street, we make sure that they are fed and cared for as well, even if we can't take away the struggle completely. And how do we do all of this? Well, aside from blood (for real), sweat (for real) and tears (for real), and a healthy infusion of our own savings, the only way that we can do this for them, is YOU. Your financial support helps the animals in our care and the animals on the street from week to week. Without you, we do not exist. It is just that simple.

It takes over $800 a week to feed all of these dogs. Will you please help us?

Have you heard of Marley? She's kind of a big thing down here -- a testament to a rescue gone so right. And her mom, Stacey has kept the momentum of rescue and love going with her new book - "One Love, One Dog - Marley's Incredible Journey". Proceeds from the book will largely benefit Montego Bay Animal Haven, a wonderful rescue that is also working every day on behalf of the animals of Jamaica, as a thank you for their part in Marley's rescue. We encourage you to support the book through pre-orders (it's a wonderful story of inspiration and motivation, perfect for any child, gift, classroom or local library). If you have corporate or business connections, you can sponsor the purchase of 12 books that will be distributed to local libraries. And, coming soon, Negril Pup Rescue might just have a surprise or two lined up where you can support the book, the Montego Bay Animal Haven AND the Negril Pup Rescue all at the same time! Keep watching!

One Love. One Dog. Marley’s Incredible Journey tells a story before you even open the book.

It’s not just a pretty picture… it’s purposeful design.

🌴 Tropical colours = joy, warmth, and instant kid appeal.

✈️ Airplane of hearts = a journey carried by love.

🏡 The house featured is a nod to our “real home” = safety, comfort, and a true happy ending.

🐶 Marley’s markings = 100% accurate (down to the heart nose! ♥️🐾) inviting kids to fall in love with the real pup behind the story.

The story begins on the cover… but the real magic is inside. I cant wait for you to see it.

Ghosted again...

So, here's the thing. We enjoy sharing what we do with the people that support the rescue, and the dogs certainly enjoy all of the attention. But...

You may not realize, but the rescue is Dominique and Les' home. When you reach out to visit and then make plans to go by at a certain time, they are expecting you. Preparations have been made. Everything is on hold. Dogs have been put away, so they don't get overexcited and end up fighting. The rescue goes into "wait mode". If you do not show up as planned (or if you show up much later than scheduled), it changes the entire scope of their day and their responsibilities. When, after waiting, they let the dogs out and go back to their tasks, guests decide to show up late, it does not give them the opportunity to control the dogs and that causes problems.

Please, if you would like to visit the rescue, we would love to have you. But we ask that you respect their home, the dogs, their time and them and show up at the time that has been agreed upon. If you cannot make it for some reason, please reach out to Dominique to let her know that you need to cancel instead of just not showing up. We appreciate your support, respect and your understanding.

Happy Dog Day! You already know that we clearly love dogs and that love inspired us to move to Jamaica and start a dog rescue that has amassed over 90 pups saved from life on the streets or impending death. You must be here with us on this page because you also love dogs. If you have a current or Angel pup, post their picture below and tell us a little about their story. On Friday, we will put everybody who participated in a randomizer wheel and choose one person to receive a Negril Pup Rescue koozie!

Our newest princess, Cinderella has had her surgery and is doing very well thanks to the overwhelming support of our village. She's got a long road of recovery ahead but her days will be filled with love going forward. Collectively, you helped us to save another one. Thank you to everyone who answered the call this week.

We have $150 matching offer. Who's going to step up so we can close this gap and get Cinderella the help she needs??

We are so close to getting Cinderella the care she needs, addressing this painful back leg and wound and starting a new life for her that is pain free and full of love. We are just $300 short of our goal.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! At 10:20pm EST, we are just $375 away from meeting our goal to feed the dogs and pay for Cinderella's health care and amputation.

Meet Cinderella, our newest little princess. By now, you know that we are over capacity at 90+ dogs, but we just couldn't ignore this little soul. A good Samaritan found her four days ago limping near the bridge where the fishermen fix their boats and reached out to us. At first glance, she looks like many of the Negril street dogs - drastically underweight with scars and a nasty wound on her back paw but, a vet visit told us the full story of her pain (or at least what we know).

She is 3-4 years old. In her young life, she has been hit by a car (recently) which crushed her foot. Her rear leg has wasted away due to nerve damage and amputation is now the only option. She has a spinal fracture (it's a miracle that she can even walk) and another previous fracture that has already healed so it's likely that she was hit by a car before or endured some sort of abuse. This little one needed our help, but the cost of getting her well will be extensive. We have been quoted nearly $1,100 USD for her current care and surgery. Then, she will heal correctly and live out her life as a tripod with love.

Now, more than ever, we need your support. As always, it takes $800+ to feed the dogs for the week but now, we need nearly $2000 to also take care of Cinderella. PLEASE help. Cinderella is just one dog out of many in Negril. Every week we respond to messages about strays who are hungry, abandoned or injured and we help as much as our funding will allow. Your donations mean food, medical care and second chances for these forgotten animals.

And week by week, the circle continues...

It's Feed the Pups Friday and we are exhausted, but come to you yet again to ask you to help us take care of the 90+ dogs in our care and the many strays on the streets that depend on our outreach for food. Each day, we get up (when the dogs wake us up - VERY early) and start our long, hot days. Feeding the dogs one by one. Filling water dishes. Administering medicines. Letting groups of dogs out of their kennel one by one to exercise and then collecting them back into their kennel so the next group can come out. Ensuring the groups do not cross over, lest their be vicious fights. Welcome guests. Clean. Shop. Run errands. Feed the street dogs. Pick up supplies. Etc. Etc. Etc. And when the day is done and we are bone tired, we can look forward to the same thing tomorrow. And the next day.

It would mean the world if we didn't have to worry about where the money is coming from and how we will afford the dog food or medication or vet visits or car repairs or any of the number of things that we fund with your support. Donations have been down. Maybe it's summer. Maybe it's the economy. Maybe you are distracted by other charities or other things. But I can assure you that we are still here. Still doing the same thing everyday, which is taking care of the forgotten strays of Negril. Please help if you can.

Did you forget us?

Feed the Pups Friday raised only $170 yesterday. That is significantly short of the $800 needed to feed 90+ dogs for just one week. We know we ask a lot, but the amount of sacrifice that Dominique and Les put into rescuing, housing and taking care of these precious animals requires our support. Please help. Any amount adds up.

Who is ready to feed some pups???

We've got over 90 of them and they seem to be hungry all. the. time. And they are depending on all of you to feed them. It costs around $800 ($1,125CAD) a week to feed these dogs as well as provide food through our outreach program to strays throughout Negril. I assure you that all of the dogs are truly grateful for anything that you can give to help support them.

Will you help us to feed these adorable little souls this week?
