Who we are

Founded by sisters Marybeth Boruda and Kerri Corrigan, POOCHES out of Puerto Rico connects “the right dog” for every client and family.

Walk anywhere in Puerto Rico, and you will come across dozens of friendly, playful, but ultimately homeless dogs. Sources estimate there are more than half a million strays on the island, with a euthanasia rate hovering between a shocking 94 and 96 percent.

POOCHES out of Puerto Rico provides comprehensive medical care, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering (if age-appropriate), treatment for injuries and illnesses, and personality evaluations upfront.

The team then offers a safe place for rescued dogs to decompress and adjust while they await adoption. In partnership with our incredible team of fosters and angel fliers, we transport these special pooches out of Puerto Rico and fly them to the Northeast. They are then placed in temporary homes until they find their forever families.
