5 Ways To Support CARF This Holiday Season
With the holiday season upon us, we can't help but reflect on the past year. In 2021, CARF had many successes but many difficulties as well. So far it's been a year of amazing highs but also some devastating lows. We were able to successfully rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome over 50 dogs. But due to the pandemic, we also saw a drop in donations and volunteers. Our important work would not be possible without the amazing support from our loyal supporters, volunteers, foster families, adopters, and social media friends. They say it takes a village, and that has never been more true.
Holiday Gift Idea for Dog Lovers | Virtually Adopt A Dog From Curaçao
Can't adopt? Not able to foster? Too busy to volunteer? Our Virtual Adoption Program allows you to virtually adopt a dog! This means that you will adopt a dog “on paper,” while the dog remains in our care. You will receive a digital certificate of adoption with the name and picture of your dog of choice, as well as your own name or the name of the person you gift it to!
Rescued Dog Bronco on the Mend after Surgery
Time for an update on rescued dog Bronco! Back in July, we introduced you to Bronco. Before he came into our care, Bronco was living on the streets and surviving on food scraps. He did not let us catch him easily and it took our volunteers three attempts before he was finally rescued. When we took Bronco to the vet, we discovered that he had a serious infection and a fracture in his heel that required surgery.
CARFIE Of The Week: Joop
The very first CARFIE Of The Week of 2021 is... Joop! Since September '20, Joop has been in our care. He was found at one of our local beaches. His hip was dislocated and he was in bad shape.
CARFIE Of The Week: Graziela | From Trash to Treasure
Who remembers Graziela? Two years ago, we were able to rescue her and her four puppies after they had been cruelly dumped amidst the trash at Curaçao’s landfill facility Malpais. While in our care, and thanks to the support and donations from our followers, Graziela has blossomed from trash into treasure. She is more than ready to be adopted!

CARFIE Of The Week: Heidi
Back in January, Heidi had the honor to be the very first 'CARFIE Of The Week' of 2020. Well, it's nine months later, and she is still waiting for someone to take her home. It is not too late though ― 2020 can still become Heidi's year! But we are going to need your help to find her a forever family.
Curaçao Animal Rescue Foundation Rescues Dumped Puppies
This post is way overdue, but better late than never, right? When the corona-virus outbreak hit, quite some of our volunteers and foster families left the island. Meanwhile the number of dogs in our care has only grown amid the pandemic. Our shrinking team is busier than ever, and by the end of the day, we don't always have the time (or the energy) to update our social media. Anyways, we have been meaning to tell you about a litter that we rescued a while back. Here we go!
CARFIE Of The Week: Bruno
This week, we'd like to introduce you to Bruno. He's a young dog (about two years old) with a lot of potential; he learns quickly and responds well to guidance. Can you help us find this boy his forever family?
CARFIE Of The Week: Linda
This week, we're putting CARFIE Linda in the spotlight. She is about 4,5 years old and has been in our care for the last 2,5 years. Since May, she has been living with her foster family. And as much as she loves her foster family (and vice versa), foster is just a pit stop, with a forever home as the finish line. What do you think, can we get Linda adopted into her ideal home?
CARFIE Of The Week: Pauli
If you want to adopt a sweet and relaxed senior dog, look no further. Pauli is your man. Just look into those brown eyes and let this guy melt your heart!
CARFIE Of The Week: Scarlett
Scarlett is a 3-year old dog who came into our care 1,5 years ago. When we first rescued her, she was pregnant. Fortunately, there was a foster family available and willing to take her in.
