Vieques Humane Society

I spent this morning fishing for marlin here on Vieques with my good friend and veterinarian Dr. Pedro Watlington. I’ll have a lot more to say about the fishing trip later, but hanging out with Pedro reminded me of all the great work they do down at the Vieques Humane Society. Stray dogs and cats are a serious problem on almost every Caribbean island, and we’re really lucky to have a small but dedicated group to care for them here on Vieques. Our Humane Society runs on a shoe string budget and most of their support comes through individual donations and semi-annual fundraisers. If you’re coming down to the island this season, do yourself a favor and stop by to see them. Amanda and I did three years ago and adopted our beloved dog Maggie. We can't imagine life without her these days. A lot of visitors have come to Vieques and gone home with a new best friend. Maybe you’ll be one of them.
