Hope for Strays: Punta Cana Pet Rescue
In this inspiring episode of the Punta Cana Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Mercedes—a dedicated animal rescuer who turned her passion into purpose after relocating from a small town near Green Bay, Wisconsin, to the tropical paradise of Punta Cana.
Amanda shares her journey from first visiting Punta Cana in 2016 to making it her permanent home in 2019, all while raising her young son and discovering a calling in animal rescue. Learn how adopting a dog from DCDR led her to connect with Rescatame, a local rescue organization, and how she’s helped transform the landscape of animal welfare in the area.
Through strategic partnerships with organizations like DDR and Salud Pública, Amanda and her team now run monthly spay/neuter clinics, vaccination drives, and essential community outreach programs aimed at reducing the number of stray animals across Punta Cana and beyond.
Whether you're an animal lover, an expat dreaming of life in the Dominican Republic, or just curious about grassroots impact, this episode offers a heartwarming and hopeful look at how one person can make a real difference.
