CARE of DC Saves 20 Puppies from Puerto Rico

Sadly, the shelters in Puerto Rico were flooded and overcrowded. That's where CARE of DC stepped up and took in 20 of the pups rescued by The Sato Project. On Thursday, September 29th CARE of DC shared on Facebook about the rescue:

If you are interested in adopting one of these lucky pups, please visit CAREOfDC. Org and submit an online adoption application or you could help with a small donation, we would be extremely great-full.
