PUPPY LOVE IN PARADISE: discovering Rescue Paws Curaçao

If you're an animal lover (or secretly hoping to bring home a new furry friend), visiting Rescue Paws Curaçao might just steal your heart.

This amazing rescue center gives stray dogs a second chance, offering them a safe place to stay until they find their forever home. On weekends, the center is open to the public, and during the week, you can book an appointment. Whether you join a guided tour or wander around on your own, you’re welcome to come cuddle, play, and connect with the dogs.

And here’s the beautiful part: just visiting the center already makes a big difference. By spending time with the dogs and giving them love, you’re helping them socialize, one of the most important things they need to get adopted quickly.

There are so many sweet pups waiting for some attention, and trust me, it’s almost impossible not to fall in love. Some are still looking for their forever families, while others already have a home lined up abroad.

That’s where you can help too: if you're flying back home, you can sign up to be a travel buddy, helping one lucky dog safely reach their new family.

It’s such a heartwarming and rewarding experience, one that’ll stay with you long after you’ve left the island.
