Bubu needs your help

**Bubu needs your help**

All funds for Bubu go toward his veterinary care as well as his food. Bubu is a stray dog that was recently rescued by two women who love animals but don’t have the means to fully take care of him.

Backstory:

While walking on the beach in Punta Santiago Humacao a few weeks ago, we spotted a sickly senior dog who just had one eye and a large mass hanging from his chest. He approached us and even followed us a little bit. He then walked away and we followed him and saw that he had been taking shelter in a dirty abandoned beach bathroom. We knew we couldn't leave him there so we went home and got some dog food and a kennel to be able to bring him back with us in the car.

We named him Bunaro ("Brown" in the Hiwatahia-Taino language) but we call him Bubu for short. So far we’ve learned that Bubu is sweet and curious. He loves to eat and take naps. He seems very grateful to be safe now and heading toward wellness. Our own dog gets along very well with Bubu. Bubu seems to enjoy having someone to play with.

We suspect that Bubu was abandoned at the beach by owners who were perhaps not interested in taking care of him any longer. He is not afraid of humans and was familiar walking on a leash and being inside a home. His eye wound and the mass hanging from his chest seem to be signs of long years of neglect. Abandonment and neglect of dogs is unfortunately common.

We want to help Bubu get strong and healthy. We want Bubu to find his forever home. With your help, I know we can make it happen! :)

We need financial help to get Bubu medical care especially for his eye and what appears to be a tumor hanging from his chest.

We have reached out for help to local dog rescue orgs but they are swamped and overwhelmed with all of the rescues they take care of. We want to help Bubu get healthy and find a home so that he can live the rest of is his days in a safe and loving environment.

Thank you for your help!
