Success Stories
During the past couple of months we have been able to place many animals for adoption and we have paid for numerous dogs and cats to be spayed and nuetered.

Mango, was a starving, sick pup on the streets of Culebra. After months of rehab at the Palmetto Guesthouse with AWC volunteers Mark & Terrie, a loving woman named, Anne, who herself owns a guesthouse in New York adopted him. Mango now lives the best life ever, with his own special dog bed (he’s been caught in the people bed, too!), dog park fun, & many, many new friends. Mango sure is a very lucky guy!!
Kaya is one of our most recent adoption success stories as she has moved into a very good home and now enjoys long walks on the beach with her new owners.
Minnie was an absolute sweetheart and she was recently shipped to Ohio for adoption through Rose’s rescue. We are sure she will make a fantastic and loving pet.
Buddy was a puppy Jill fostered from day of birth until 4 months of age. He was adopted by a wonderful owner, Shan-Wei Ko, and now lives the life of Reilly in Manhattan.
Dolores was Buddy’s mom. Some fabulous visitors to the island brought her to us after they found her dumped in their front yard the day she gave birth. She was adopted by Abbie & Billy Thomas and now lives happily in her new home, with a new name, Lila.
Tanya Oleksa is one of the foster moms from our Ohio shelter partner, Rose’s Rescue . Here she is with Bob, a famous Culebra sato, and Spot, one of a local litter also placed in Ohio. Both have been adopted by loving families.
Here’s Bob in his forever home with excited new parents, Irenna & Steve, who recently visited Culebra for the first time to see Bob’s old stomping grounds.
This is Chibe, adopted right here in Culebra by Danii Rodriquez, whose family has several other satos and gatos from the island.
Another of our satos, Flora, who AWC helped the Dykema family take home to the US, after they fell in love with her when visiting Culebra earlier this year.
Here’s Mamacita, one of many Culebra gatos adopted by Kristen Camaret, one of AWC’s hardworking volunteers.
These 3 cats are in our permanent foster program of cat colonies around the island. Marsha Brighton saved all 3 by bottle-feeding them several times a day (and night!) for weeks until they were old enough to eat solid food. They were then given a loving home in Culebra with Lettie Melendez and her daughter Rosa.
All four of these Culebra satos were generously adopted by one person, Elena Jahn’s daughter Lisa, who lives in Maine. Elena worked with the local owner to keep the puppies safe and fed until they were old enough for AWC to ship. Lisa is placing them all in forever homes, and we are most grateful.
