This dog was found on Solarte, starving and scared . Some caring people managed to catch her with some effort and she was brought to us.

She went into foster care with us after a medical evaluation. A months worth of medication and recovery. Finally after a month she was healthy and a proper weight, she got spayed and became ready for adoption.

Of course this adorable and sweet cuddler quickly found amazing adoptive parents and is now with them, beginning her new life in a forever home.

This dog got a second chance at life thanks to our amazing medical volunteers, dedicated and experienced foster care and efforts from volunteers.

We received this infant Kinkajou that Floating Doctors found. Far too young to be without a mother. Thankfully we were able to arrange transport the same day it was found to a proper rehabilitation facility in Chirique where it is doing very well! Like always , any wildlife we receive will be rehabilitated for release to the wild where they belong.

We got a call last week about an abandoned baby howler monkey. We were able to take it in, do a health check and start feeding it. Then finally send it to a proper rehabilitation facility in David, where she is thriving and with other orphaned monkeys of similar age. Proper rehabilitation means she will eventually be able to be released to the wild where she belongs.

The Bocas Breeze Pet of the Week 🐶😻

Each week, in partnership with Papá Gato Animal Welfare, we highlight an animal in need of adoption.

This adorable sweet dog has been living on the streets for over a year after being dumped by her owner. She has been cared for by kind business owners, but she needs a stable home. She will need patience and kindness as she learns to love and be loved again!

If you think that you might be a great match for Chispita, please contact Papá Gato +507 6952-5151!

La Mascota de la Semana de Bocas Breeze

Cada semana, en colaboración con Papá Gato Animal Welfare destacamos a un animal que necesita adopción.

Esta adorable perrita lleva más de un año viviendo en la calle tras ser abandonada por su dueño. Ha sido cuidada por amables dueños de negocios, pero necesita un hogar estable. Necesitará paciencia y cariño mientras aprende a amar y ser amada de nuevo.

Si crees que Chispita podría ser una buena opción para ti, ¡contacta con Papá Gato al +507 6952-5151!

Another fantastic day of spays and neuters is done! We also tended to a dog who had to have an eye surgically removed and a possible intestinal obstruction. Plus lots of puppies for basic preventative care.
