Why help the dogs in Bimini?
Bimini has become a second home to many South Florida residents. Many of which have rescued a stray dog or two from the streets also known as the “King’s Highway” of Bimini. We have chosen to help dogs in Bimini because of the island's overwhelming need for shelters and compassion. In the States, we have many shelters, humane societies, and rescue groups. In Bimini (which has only 1600 residents) we have 1 volunteer that takes in some of the stray dogs that are in need of special attention. Unsterilized dogs roam the streets, reproducing at alarming rates. Thousands of dogs die inhumanely, suffering from illnesses and starvation. They are NOT given the right to die humanely, pain free, or peacefully. Most die in extreme discomfort, never knowing love or affection. For these reasons, we fight to raise awareness to the sufferings occurring in our own backyard. We strive for a better future for all animals!
