The Rescatame (“Rescue Me” in Spanish) Dog and Cat Animal Rescue mission is to significantly improve the health and well-being of the dogs and cats living in the Punta Cana area. Rescatame helps underserved communities attend to their basic needs so that the communities can tend to the needs of animals, which in turn makes for kinder, safer communities. This mission is being accomplished through the commitment and compassion of their volunteers, donors, and supporters.
