Tail Wagging Homecoming

A group of lucky stray dogs from Puerto Rico have found forever homes in the United States, thanks to members of the Centenary University Multicultural Club. The students traveled to San Juan over their recent spring break to learn about Puerto Rican culture, language, and traditions.

While there, the Centenary students partnered with Flight Angels of Puerto Rico, an organization that matches stray dogs and cats with travel volunteers who agree to accompany the animals on their flight to the United States. The Centenary students transported 18 dogs on their return flight to New York, meeting representatives of the organization at the airport for the final handoff to take the pups to their new homes. The partnership with Flight Angels aligns with the mission of the Centenary University Multicultural Club to make meaningful contributions in the communities members visit.
