Que bueno que ya están en un lugar donde si los aman

Fue muy desgarrador para mí verlos ahí abandonados y los cachorros ala deriva como puede haber gente sin corazón sin sentimientos

Me gustaría poder verlos algún. Día a los cachorritos ver su cara de felicidad y no de miedo y tristeza que tenían

My sweet Dorian ♥️

Keicy’s journey began in heartbreak.
As a young puppy, she was kept 24/7 on a tiny balcony — never taken outside, forced to live in those few square feet without ever experiencing the world, unable even to relieve herself properly.

Thankfully, compassionate neighbors noticed her suffering and stepped in. Eventually, the so-called “owner” agreed to release her to the streets. That’s when our dear friend Kelly intervened, rescuing Keicy and bringing her safely to us.

When Keicy arrived at SOS el Arca Animal Rescue, she was scared, malnourished, and carrying the heavy emotional scars of her early neglect. But with patience, love, and dedicated care from our team, she slowly began to heal — both physically and emotionally.

Her journey didn’t end there. Thanks to SOS Animal Welfare, Keicy was able to take the next step: she traveled to New York, where her wonderful foster mom Karolina welcomed her with open arms. It didn’t take long before Keicy captured the heart of her forever family — they fell in love with her from the very first meet & greet! Now, Keicy has fully left her difficult beginnings behind and is blossoming into the happy, healthy dog she was always meant to be.

Thank you to every single person who played a part in transforming Keicy’s life. 🐾❤️

👉 Please consider donating to help us continue rescuing and changing the lives of dogs like Keicy.

Me podrían decir sus horarios de consultas por favor

We are so happy to share the wonderful news that 12 lucky pups have left SOS El Arca Animal Rescue on their way to new lives! 🐶✈️

Thanks to the amazing Sylvie, they flew to Montreal, where Tula, Kai, Benson, Floffy, Dexter, Leo, and Juana are now safely under the loving care of All Paws Matter .

Penny, Honey, Eliza, Flor, and Orlando were picked up by SOS Animal Welfare and are currently on a 7-hour journey to New York, where they’ll soon meet their forever families! 🐾❤️

We are beyond grateful to everyone who made this possible — our incredible supporters, donors, sister rescues, fosters, and adopters. These journeys truly change lives — for the animals and for the people who love them.

It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we come together. 💪✨

👉 Please consider supporting our work so we can continue changing more dogs’ lives for the better. Every donation helps make these happy endings possible. 🙏🐕

We’re calling on all animal lovers to lend a hand today, Saturday, June 7th, from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at SOS El Arca Animal Rescue!

Bath time is a vital part of our weekly routine — it helps keep our pups clean, healthy, and happy. And guess what? They absolutely LOVE it! 🐾

Volunteering just a few hours of your time makes a world of difference to our rescue dogs. Whether you’re washing, walking, or simply giving cuddles, your presence matters.

Let’s come together as a community to support those who depend on us most. 🐕
