Adri's Story
20 years ago, when Adri Galler-Lastra's mother died of a stroke, she was left with a huge empty hole in her heart. To fill the void, she started rescuing stray and abused dogs in her home in Puerto Rico. The island was overrun with strays who were being mistreated and suffering from lack of care. She couldn't stand to see that neglect any longer.
In the years since, her extraordinary team of volunteers has helped her rescue thousands of dogs and find loving homes for them in Puerto Rico and across the U.S. She has built a wonderful community of supportive dog lovers in Loiza and created a "free range" dog shelter right in the city that allows most of their pups to walk freely and socialize with each other.
