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

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.
