Certain airlines will do the transport for a small fee. Luckily Jet Blue was one of them, I think Caribbean Airlines is another but not positive. The lady at the shelter took care of all the gathering of paperwork and getting it stamped and signed. She had to go into Kingston to do it all. I’ve seen some places charging as much as $1k, but we chose this shelter because the lady seemed very genuine, and not trying to make much just helping the animals get to a better place, and life. We sent her the info she needed, and she took care of the rest. Was pretty easy. Also she has people that rescue, that don’t go to the island. She finds people who are traveling back to that area and sets it up with them to fly the dog home to their new home. She is a Saint!

Edit: the animal has to be small enough to fit in a small carrier between your feet, or on your lap. Also she provided the soft crate for transport, and the meds he needs. He’s about 9 weeks old now. He’s too young to get clipped so we will do that asap. Also have to get him a rabies vaccine as there is no rabies on the island.

Thats very badass of you guys. Made my morning!

That's awesome, love it! Cute pup.

Does he bark with an accent? *arf, arf, mon* ...yelling at squirrels *arf, arf, bombaclot!* :D

Good on ya, Cooch.

Those island/tropics strays lead tough lives.

Excellent work sir.

Any idea the breed?

I'm guessing it will get along with your Dane. I love those big Oafs, but didn't think I could ever handle one.

Not really sure on the breed, but he has big paws. I think the pet plan we have will do a free DNA test and tell us.

That's so awesome. Good for you!

Good deal! It always makes me happy when a dog is rescued.

Serious question though, wouldn't it have been easier and just as fulfilling to rescue one here? Not judging, just curious

Good job Cooch!!! When it's time my next is going to be another rescue. Have you ever watched the you tube videos of the chick in Ukraine who rescues dogs from the war ravaged areas? She does great work also. It's listed under Love Furry Friends - Rescue Channel.

Looks like a Shepard mix.

Was it easy going through Customs?

Love this and love you for doing this.

Definitely would have been easier, no doubt about it. But after seeing how poorly Jamaican shelter animals have it, we decided to rescue one from there. Plus as you know, Jamaica is our happy place. We try to help as many people there as we possibly can. The employees who don’t get meals, we order meals for them. Ww bring lots of toys and clothes for the children of the people who work at the resort. I literally just got a $180 speaker to take to Jamaica, and I left it with a really good guy there. We talk all year, and he called me every day I was in the hospital checking on me. I needed to make room for the puppy too and the speaker was BIG and heavy. So I left it with O’Neil, and just seeing the huge smile on his face when I told him he could keep it was totally worth it. Doubt he could ever afford something like that, or even get one on the island. So I was happy to leave it with him. We try to take care of as many people as we can. We love the island, the vibe, the culture, and especially the people.

Edit: we went off resort this time with a few people from the resort this time. Did Karaoke, then went to a club. The club was WILD! Jamaican dancing is basically simulated sex. But we had a blast. Never felt threatened even though we stuck out like a sore thumb. But quite a few people came up to us and talked to us. Was a wild night.

does it speak english?

That is one lucky dog. It's like he hit the Powerball.
