How are you doing now: Galgary, now Summer 🤍🤎 Her dear adopters tell... Summer is a super sweet affectionate dog who gives and asks for a lot of love from us. She gets along very well with our other 2 dogs so that is also very nice. We had seen Summer (then Calgary) on Social Media before we came to Curacao. After our visit to RPC my daughters instantly fell in love. Her character (slightly reserved) also seemed to fit in well with our other dogs and so it did! However, Summer is still very scared of "new" people when they visit us. We don't put any pressure on her and eventually she comes closer by herself. We hope for her that this will eventually improve but that is a matter of time and trust. She enjoys walking outside and loves to play with our other dogs (who get quite tired from time to time 😉 ) We experienced the adoption process very positively, both in Curacao and in the Netherlands. Everything was arranged perfectly and good contact was kept. I still occasionally send a photo of Summer that way 🩷. You are also very helpful if I have any questions. All in all we are very happy that Summer is part of our family and it seems like she has been with us for a long time! Kind regards, the loving owners of Summer 🐾 Summer

Hello all!!! I am Grandi.💚 This is my story written by my foster: "Grandi was found at a dumping ground where he was living in the mondi with his sister and another little dog. Grandi is doing so incredibly well and how eager he is to learn! He already sits on command, comes to you when you call him. Grandi is a super cute, sweet, naughty and social puppy of 8 months, who is always cheerful and happy.🥰. He is super eager to learn, learns quickly and loves to be rewarded with a cookie or a stroke on his head. In new situations and with new people and needs some time. If you ignore him for a while, his curiosity gets the better of him and he dares to come closer and you can soon pet him. Grandi otherwise loves to go on adventures with you, or to cuddle. Grandi is potty trained, he is used to the bench and loves to go with you in the car." Are you interested in adopting me or would you like to know more about me? If so, please feel free to contact RPC.💌 Link in our Linktree🙏🏽 Sharing is caring!🐾 #adoptable #sharingiscaring #rescueddogrock #westpointers #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedpups #rescuedpuppy #rescuepawscuraçao

How are you doing now. Paul? ❤️ On June 27, 2023, Paul came to the Netherlands. Paul is now 1 year old and is officially becoming a real adolescent. Paul is doing very well. Paul was very cautious at the beginning in the Netherlands. We gave him all the space he needed. A busy street, cars or the sound of a scooter he found exciting. Paul is now completely used to this and is not surprised anymore. We live close to the forest and have bought a cargo bike for Paul to ride in (he loves this 🤩 ). Paul is a very energetic, curious and inquisitive dog. He has now attended 2 courses with us and thus already won medals 🥈. Paul can run all morning in the woods or on the beach, plays well with other dogs and can use his energy. Paul is also a real cuddler! He cuddles everyone he knows well, gives lots of kisses and love. Paul prefers to sit on your lap and if that is not possible, then as close to you as possible. He is very affectionate and listens well! Now, in puberty, occasionally East Indian deaf 😜. The adoption process went smoothly. Good contact with the organization and everyone involved. Paul lived with a sweet foster for a while, where Paul could already socialize well. We are still in contact from time to time and regularly send some pictures of Paul. We are very pleased with the whole process! Again, thank you very much for all your efforts for the dogs on Curacao. You do beautiful and special work. Lots of love from Paul and his adopters 🐶❤️

The view on last week. A several lucky dogs are adopted. Bean his new home is at Curaçao. And he has an RPC sister: Lana. Mats landed at Schiphol on Monday morning and traveled to his new home in Belgium. Span also took the plane. He flew to a foster where he can recover. Truus was allowed to come on a trial basis with people in Curaçao and get to know the dogs who already lived there. That went really well and Truus can stay! How happy we are for her! Moos moved from his foster to his forever home in the Netherlands. Chetty was Gert’s new foster girlfriend. But the rascal keeps escaping from the garden and causing chaos in the neighborhood. Not the intention. So Chetty is back at the Center. Pluto2 and Maya took the plane to their forever homes in Holland. Louisa also goes by plane, but to America. Unfortunately, there are also many reports of dumped dogs, including poignant cases. If only we could say yes to everything. And no, it is not always possible to explain why one person works and another does not. Sometimes it is the case that a dog has just been adopted or has gone to a foster, which gives space. Sometimes there are volunteers who can help catch... We never say no if we don’t have to. The three-month-old puppies Flora and Fonzi were dumped at Landhuis Brievengat. They are save now. Several reports were received about an injured dog near Centrum Piscadera. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to catch this dog. She is very shy. New attempts next week! At the gate stood a boy with a 12-week-old puppy in his arms. The pup walked all alone on the road in front of the Center. Now safely at the Center. A female dog had been dumped near Porto Marie. About 2 years old and very skinny... but her eyes look so sweetly at the world. Gerard picked her up. And gave her the name Bianca. Gerard, Lena, Mirjan and the reporters caught two female dogs and a puppy. Dumped at Pop’s Place. The sweet, enthusiastic visitors ended the week in a fantastic way. There was a lot of cuddling and playing again and they took so much with them! Masha danki… bon Siman! 🐾❤️

Yesterday we received a call from @roxannekwant and her partner that they found a dog family and one of them was hurt pretty bad. They gave them food and tried to catch them to go to the vet themselves, which is wonderful because we are in desperate need of volunteers. 🙏🏻 But I didn’t worked, so we helped. Thank you Roxanne for bringing awareness and caring for dogs on the island. #caring #rescuedog #volunteers #rescuepawscuraçao

𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴! ❤️🐕 Part 1 (part 2 continues in comments); We are Robert (33) and Lianne (32), we live together in Roelofarendsveen. We both have our own businesses. Robert is an electrician and boat mechanic. And Lianne is a medical pedicure and has a practice at home. A few years ago I (Lianne) came across RPC on Instagram. I really wanted a dog from an early age. We thought it would be nice to adopt one who could then have a much better life with us. In 2021 we started looking more seriously. And we didn’t have to think long when we saw the first photos. Joy (you know her as Kerrie) was a gift from heaven. We immediately fell in love and even more! 🧡 After a few weeks of waiting we were allowed to pick her up from Schiphol. What a party. Everything was really well organised! 👍🏻 Unfortunately, things did not go as expected and Joy was soon diagnosed with leishmania by an attentive veterinarian. This is very strange because it does not occur in the Netherlands and, according to the internet, also not in Curaçao. A big mystery for us and everyone. In the summer of 2022, Joy suddenly became very ill. And within 24 hours we had to make the most difficult decision ever. 💔 We had to put her to sleep for less than 1.5 years. That was a really big shock for both of us. 😢 I (Lianne) have worked very hard to process that with the help of EMDR. And during the sessions we thought it might help to take a look at the center in Curaçao to complete the circle. So in 2024 we decided to spend the winter in Curaçao. From early February to mid-March. ☀️ At first we wanted to see what it would be like if we walked around where Joy spent her first months. So on the 2nd day we went straight to RPC for the open day. I had contacted Lena in advance and she was happy to show us around herself. I found it quite difficult to see it all! But you do such a good job that we also wanted to do our part. So Robert helps at the center for 1 day and I help 2 days a week. 💪🏻 #volunteers #volunteer #rescuepawscuracao #rescuedogsofinstagram

𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙤: 𝙒𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 2.5 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨! 🏡 🐾 Take a look at those sweet eyes, full of longing for a place to call home... He’s been waiting for sooo long, and we desperately want someone to give him the love and warmth he deserves. ❤️ Bonno’s story began when he, along with his mother and sisters, was left at the vet after a report. Since that day, he has spent his days at the Rescue Paws Curacao center, and now with a loving foster. 📸 1: Bonno is handsome and sweet 📸 2: Bonno as a puppy 📸 3: Bonno as a teenager 📸 4: Bonno now 📸 5: Bonno, the cuddle bug 🎥: made by Bonno’s loving foster His foster family describes Bonno as a gentle boy. But don’t be fooled by his friendly nature; when he sees passersby, he stands watchfully on guard. He’s a champion cuddler, a playmate, and an adventurer. Whether he’s lounging on the couch, cuddling, playing, or going on adventures in the car or at the beach, Bonno enjoys every moment to the fullest. 🐶 Interested in Bonno? Contact us! 📩✨ P.S. Bonno has his own Instagram account: @bonno.curacao 📸 #rescuedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepawscuraçao #rescuedogsofinsta #rescuepawscuracao #rescuepup

No more puppies for moms 🙏 We help injured doggies. We give hungry street dogs food and water. We catch dogs at our Center and we adopt out dogs. We educate. And we socialize puppies. With love. But someday ... we hope this will be hardly necessary, if at all. How? By sterilization. How cool would it be if everyone on this beautiful island joined hands and had their dogs spayed. 🙏 And the best thing of all, if in the process they would also care about the street dogs in the neighborhood. And would dare to address their neighbors, acquaintances, relatives and point out to them the importance of sterilization. That would be a nice step already. You don't have to do it alone! Besides RPC, for example, also Stichting Dierenhulp Curacao that is happy to support this. Financially. But also facilitating. And thanks also to veterinarian Sjoerd de Groot who makes it possible again. Only together can we overcome this problem. Aren't you doing it for the dogs? Your motivation can also be the streetscape that tourists see. Or packs causing a nuisance. Do not complain. But take responsibility! Spay, neuter or donate so we can keep doing it and...we do it with love! Or sign up as a volunteer and help us catch to get the moms spayed 🐾🙏🤎 Questions about this? Email us at [email protected] or send a WhatsApp message to +599 9 522 2806 @mimi.korsou

Hallo daar! Ik ben Kite!💚 Ik ben door omstandigheden opzoek naar een nieuw thuis. Hier vertellen mijn huidige eigenaren wat over mij: "Kite is in april 2023 geboren en wij hebben hem gezien in juli 2023 bij Rescue Paws op Curaçao. We waren op slag verliefd.😍 Kite is een lieve reu, hij is speels, kroelt en wandelt graag. Hij ligt graag tegen je aan op de bank. Hij is bij ons terechtgekomen in een gezin met een zoon (20 jaar) een Weimaraner (teefje) en drie Kaninchen teckels (2 teefjes en 1 reu). De reu teckel was altijd de baas over de honden geweest en jammer genoeg botste de karakters tussen Kite en teckel Ollie... Met de teefjes geeft het geen problemen hij ligt vaak samen met onze Weimaraner in de mand. Tot onze spijt en verdriet zijn wij op zoek naar een warm huis om Kite te plaatsen echter gaat Kite niet naar de eerste de beste, dat snappen jullie hopelijk wel😚🙏🏽. Wij wachten echt totdat hij bij een liefdevol en warm gezin terecht mag komen." Heb je interesse om mij een nieuw thuis te geven of zou je meer informatie over mij willen? Neem dan gerust contact op met RPC.💌 In onze linktree is de link naar onze website te vinden! Delen is lief💚 #lookingforanewhome #rescuedpup #rescuepawscuracao #adoptdontshop #netherlands #kite #nieuwthuis #westpointer

How are things going with ... Blondy now? Now Dushi ❤️ We are mega happy with the adoption! We found it quite exciting in the beginning, but are very happy that we adopted a dog from you! The whole process went well! Dushi is doing very well. We did everything at her pace and were able to give her confidence, also with other dogs, which she found very exciting and she was very skittish in the beginning... but now she is doing very well! We often go running, playing/swimming in the woods here. She loves that. And lots of cuddling together on the couch. I am now looking for the best food for her... she is starting to get a red spot on her belly/lies and I read on your fb that many wp have an allergy to chicken.... And what was in her kibble...chicken. But we are very happy and so really have no tips.... Everything went well! Greetings from the adopter and a 🐾 from Dushi

The View on last week.. André and Lillian are back on the island. They arrived with 3 extra pieces of luggage full of stuff for us and they will be spending a lot of time at the Rescue Center again! Little survivor Victor is doing very well. He was the only one of his brothers and sisters to survive. And it’s a real heartbreaker! Barki and Truus have moved to the big pen. How wonderful that they have plenty of space now. They are incredibly happy! And the old Bordeaux pen is split in two. There are already 7 (!!) larger shelters, allowing dogs to be moved out of the small quarantine cages! Dog Mona was allowed to visit school because her little owner gave a schoolspeech about Rescue Paws! Nice!! Cruz was adopted. He can continue to enjoy the sun because his basket is in Curaçao. Tjarda was adopted and she also found her forever home in Curaçao. There were a number of lucky dogs who took the plane again. Steffie, Baco, Randy and Wendy were the lucky ones. Last night Mats flew. He arrives at Schiphol this morning and will travel to Belgium with his new owners. A little girl walked all alone through Brievengat. Very sweet and social and she ran after cars because she wanted to come along so badly. Luckily she met Alexandra! She took her with her. She is now being sterilized and will then become Adam’s new girlfriend. Until we find a nice home for her. Hermien died last week. Very sad. Chetty is now Gert’s new foster girlfriend. And she has already found her way! Wendy, Eveline, Meriam, Marleen and Marlies turn 40 and celebrate in Curaçao. Because one of them has a house in Curaçao and didn’t want anything for the “sleepover,” they decided to donate to Rescue Paws! Sweet! Sunny’s adopters were also there. You probably remember his story. They donated a fantastic amount. There were also many visitors again. They came by with items and made fantastic donations! And they played and cuddled with all the puppies. Masha danki… bon Siman! ❤️🐾

🅰🅳🅾🅿🆃🅰🅱🅻🅴 “Hello my name is Tilda, I’m 10 weeks old and this is my story”: Tilda was found in the bush on the side of the highway at Fort Nassauweg. She was originally with at least one other puppy when the foster family spotted them playing near the edge of the road, but when they went back the next day, it was just her. Not sure if someone else picked up the other puppy(ies) but she was alone, tangled in the bush. 🧸She’s been so sweet, friendly, joyful, and loves playing! ☺️She gets a bit shy with new people, but quickly overcomes it. 🐈 She would do well with other dogs and cats. 🚽 She’s done well with crate training and has done even better with potty training 🤩 Seriously it’s impressive how extremely smart she is. Are interested in adopting her, please look in our link in bio for more info. What would also help sweethearts like Tilda? Of you like or comment on our post, it will be seen more. So let’s give Tilda some love with a ❤️🩷🧡💛🩵💙 in your favorite color. #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #rescuepawscuraçao #sharingiscaring #tilda
