The Issue

“500,000 animales en la calle. Cero ayuda del gobierno. Firma para exigir un cambio en la Dominican Republic.” (español ⏬) 

NO DONATION NEEDED — Just confirm your email. It takes 30 seconds.

Right now, over 500,000 stray dogs and cats are suffering across the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.

They are not just homeless.
They are injured, starving, diseased, and left to die slowly on the streets.

If you see one suffering, there is no number to call. No emergency service. No government system in place to help them.

Meanwhile, the country’s economy continues to grow year after year — yet animal welfare has been completely overlooked.

In Punta Cana, one of the most visited luxury destinations in the Caribbean, stray animals are often poisoned or removed and abandoned to control visibility — not to solve the problem.

Out of sight does not mean solved.

🚨 The Reality

– Local rescues are privately funded and overwhelmed
– There is no national spay/neuter program
– There are no public shelters at scale
– There is no animal emergency response system

Without government involvement, this will never improve.

✍️ Why Your Signature Matters

We are collecting 10,000 verified signatures to bring directly to government officials.

This is not just a number — it’s leverage.

1 signature = a voice they cannot ignore
10,000 signatures = pressure for real action! 

Each signature represents the lives of dozens of animals who cannot speak for themselves.

🌍 This Is Bigger Than Animals

Uncontrolled stray populations lead to:

– Spread of disease (rabies, parasites)
– Unsafe communities
– Environmental damage

Countries like Thailand have already proven that government-funded programs work — reducing stray populations and improving public health.

The Dominican Republic can do the same — but only if people demand it.

Hoy en día, más de 500,000 perros y gatos callejeros están sufriendo en la Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.

No solo están sin hogar.
Están heridos, enfermos, desnutridos, sobreviviendo entre basura y abandono.

Si ves uno sufriendo, no hay a quién llamar.
No existe un sistema público que los ayude.

Mientras tanto, la economía del país sigue creciendo — pero el bienestar animal sigue siendo ignorado.

En Punta Cana, uno de los destinos turísticos más importantes del Caribe, muchos animales son envenenados o trasladados y abandonados para que no se vean.

Eso no es una solución. Es esconder el problema.

🚨 La Realidad

– Los rescates dependen de fondos privados y están saturados
– No hay programas nacionales de esterilización
– No hay suficientes refugios
– No existe respuesta de emergencia

Sin apoyo del gobierno, esto no va a cambiar.

✍️ Tu Firma Sí Importa

Estamos reuniendo 10,000 firmas verificadas para llevar esta petición a las autoridades.

No es solo un número — es presión real.

1 firma = una voz
10,000 firmas = acción

🌍 También Es Un Tema De Salud Pública

El aumento de animales callejeros genera:

– Riesgo de enfermedades (rabia, parásitos)
– Inseguridad en comunidades
– Problemas ambientales

Países como Thailand han demostrado que los programas apoyados por el gobierno sí funcionan.
