Future of Dog Parks in Puerto Rico
According to Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico, “two out of three homes have pets”. It took us by surprise to find only 10 dog parks in Puerto Rico considering the number of people who own pets.
However, there is hope for dogs on the island. “Pet Friendly is currently collaborating with senators for budget approval to build parks for pets in every municipality”, said Sylvia Bedrosian, founder, and owner of Pet Friendly.
