Crystal
Crystal is a young female Schnauzer mix who was brutally attacked by some locals with boiling hot water. The water burnt through the back of her skin and she was left in horrible pain. Poor Crystal has suffered horrible abuse, neglect, and abandonment. She is currently with the ADELA Foundation and we are looking for a sponsor to cover her next 2 months of vet care so that we can help her recover and get her home to a forever home in the USA! |
Javier
Javier is a 2 year old Schnauzer mix who was left for dead on the side of the road in January 2019, after being run over 2 times by cars on a busy highway. He was unable to walk and dragged himself along the road for weeks, until the ADELA Foundation was able to rescue him and get him to safety. He had severe damage to his pelvis and was unable to walk for months. He is now fully recovered and looking for his forever home. He will be going to our vet again for his final tests and neuter. He will also be fully vaccinated and dewormed. If you are interested in adopting Javier, please reach out today! |
Groot
Groot is our adorable 3 month old kitten who was rescued from a canal where he had been tossed over and abandoned as a young and small kitten. Groot was rescued by Ana Maria, a volunteer with the FRAD Foundation, where he was taken into foster. We are unsure if Groot was born without an eye or if he suffered an injury to his eye and lost it after his harsh toss over a canal side. He is now ready to be neutered and vaccinated. He will be ready to fly in June 2019. Apply today! |
Cometa
Cometa is 5 years old. She was rescued from a busy highway back in October and has been receiving vet care ever since. She was found with a horrible would to her ear and now is waiting to begin her Heart worm treatment this June 2019.
This treatment is essential for Cometa to undergo in order for her to travel to the United States. She is one sweet girl who is looking for a sponsor for her vetcare and also a future adopter! Cometa is looking for a home without cats. She gets along great with people and other dogs. If you are interested in adopting Cometa, please fill out an application today! Nadia
Nadia is a 4 month old female puppy who was dumped outside of the FRAD foundation with her other brothers and sisters at a very young age. Nadia was taken into foster by a woman named Olga who has been taking care of her ever since at her house. Nadia is now vaccinated and spayed. She is a very playful and loving puppy who gets along with dogs, cats, children, and adults! We believe she will grow to be a medium sized dog, no more than 40 pounds maximum. She would make a great fit for a house or apartment. If you are interested, please reach out today! |
Gustavo
Gustavo is a 3 year old male dog who has suffered some of the most horrific cases of abuse and neglect over the past 3 years at Playa Blanca. He has been ignored by tourists and locals for years as he rotted away in the sand with no food or water. Luckily, we were able to locate him and get him to our emergency clinic. Gustavo is in treatment now and looking for both a sponsor and adopter! If you are interested in sponsoring and/or adopting Gustavo please fill out an application today and send it to moe@cartagenapaws.com Sarafin
Sarafin is a 3 year old male dog who was rescued from an abandoned lot outside of Cartagena. He was found with a huge tumor on his nose, and underwent a series of chemotherapy treatments. He is about to undergo Heart worm treatment this June 2019, and later will be able to fly home. We have already begun our process to find him a forever home. He is a great boy! Full of love and joy. He would do well in a home without cats. |
Ophelia
Ophelia is a 2 year old female Dalmatian-Jack Russell Mix. She was found in a critical case with mange in a barrio outside of Cartagena. She was taken in by the ADELA foundation and now is fully recovered, spayed, and vaccinated. She is incredibly friendly and loves to shake and dance to greet you when you walk in through the door. Ophelia is great with kids and other animals. She would make a great addition to your family and household. If you are interested in adopting her, please do not hesitate to reach out today and fill out an application! Muñe
Muñe is a fun-loving, lively female pup who is looking for her forever home. She is Nadia's sister. Muñe and Nadia are the only 2 of the litter that remain, as it is much harder to adopt out female dogs in Colombia, than male dogs. Sadly, people have very unwarranted beliefs about female animals here and prefer not to adopt them. Luckily, Muñe and her sister were taken in by a woman named Olga for foster care, because at such a young age; they would not have survived alone at the foundation. Muñe is now 4 months old, fully vaccinated, and spayed. She has been through a series of deworming treatments and is ready to fly. We have many flight volunteers scheduled for the next upcoming months to various major cities in the States, so please reach out today if you are interested in adopting her, so that we can begin the adoption process. |
