Lola's Pack is a Non-Profit Organization with the Mission to Create Shelters that Provide Medical Care, Regulate Overpopulation &Train Four Legged Homeless Animals in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic with the Final Objective of Finding Adoptive Families for the Little Furry Ones.
 Two basic factors are responsible for the uncontrolled growth of the population of dogs in our country.
First are the poor and middle class families who buy a dog as a pet, regardless of what it entails, have an animal of this kind; food, veterinary checkups and place to be. After a while they realize the responsibilities of having to man's best friend, both in food and stay, choose to throw it in the street. If female, and stop, their dogs run fortunate to live or die their first hours in a cardboard box beside a dumpster.
The second factor affecting the proliferation of stray dogs, is because there is no control of reproduction, either by spaying or vaccination of the female (gestation in hard bitches from 57 to 63 days and they can give birth to puppies 3-9) from the health authorities. If we add hundreds of bitches giving birth a year, we would accounts of the problems we face.
Help Us in Making The Society and it's Contributors Aware of the Law 248-12, Who Protect Those Can't Protect Themselves.
Our Main Objective is to Build a Shelter with enough capacity to provide these animals with the foster home and medical care they need. in 2006 there were reported more than 90,000 homeless dogs in the Capital alone. Please Help us Make this Dream Come true, and make Society aware that all living creatures deserve respect for their lives.
Thanks for Your Cooperation 

This petition will be delivered to:
  • Sr. David Collado

Perros Callejeros Entre el Maltrato y el Abandono - Dogs Stray Between Abuse & Neglect

El envenenamiento de decenas de perros realengos y la cantidad de estos animales en plazas, parques, universidades y calles de la capital y Santo Domingo ha sido el detonante para que la sociedad entienda que está ante un gran problema de salud pública.  Se estiman en miles los perros y otros tipos de animales realengos que deambulan por calles y avenidas sin que ninguna autoridad se preocupe por cumplir o hacer cumplir la ley de protección animal. Quizás hasta ahora estos caninos no representan un peligro inminente para las personas, pero de seguir el aumento de su población sin control, no se descarta que en un futuro no muy lejano nos enfrentemos a problemas masivos de mordeduras de perros o algún tipo de enfermedades relacionado con estos animales. Aunque cabe señalar que el envenenamiento masivo, aparte de inhumano, nunca será una solución viable ni responsable, y muchos menos de las autoridades. Entre 35 y 40 personas son mordidas por perros diariamente según datos del

Hip Dysplasia in Dogs

Hip dysplasia  is a  congenital disorder  wherein the hip sockets are too loose and the femur causes damage. Dogs inherit the condition from their parents, but it can be made better or worse through training and activity levels. Usually, hip problems have already developed by 4 months and worsen over time. In some cases, a hip injury can also start the process of dysplasia, even if the dog didn't have the hereditary predisposition. Because they are such active dogs, German Shepherds are at particular risk of incurring these injuries. WARNING SIGNS OF HIP DYSPLASIA There are several signs you can look for in your Dog to see if they may be experiencing pain or joint laxity.

Envenenan al Menos 19 Perros y 6 Gatos en la Feria Ganadera - Poisoned at least 19 Dogs and 6 Cats in the Livestock Show

 20 FEB 2016, 1:57 PM  | DIARIO LIBRE SANTO DOMINGO. La Unidad de Protección Animal de la Procuraduría investiga la muerte por envenenamiento de 19 perros y seis gatos encontrados entre la noche del viernes y esta mañana dentro de los terrenos de la Feria Ganadera del Distrito Nacional. A través de las redes sociales fueron distribuidas imágenes de los animales muertos alineados en las aceras frente a los pabellones Porcino y Ovicaprino. Marilyn Lois, director de la Unidad de Protección Animal, expuso que “evidentemente los animales fueron envenenados y no es la primera vez que sucede” por lo que anunció que se está realizando una investigación para dar con los responsables. La Ley 248-12 de Protección Animal y Tenencia Responsable en el artículo 60 numeral cuatro prohibe “poner trampas o cualquier artefacto con el propósito de capturar o destruir a un animal que no sea un roedor sin que sea imprescindible para la protección de la vida humana”.
