Fly to Freedom Dog Rescue<\/strong> is a foster-based U.S. 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs from Anguilla and finding them loving adoptive homes in the United States.<\/p>

Founded in 2019 by Anguilla enthusiasts Leigh Fazzina<\/strong> and David Straub<\/strong> of Philadelphia, the organization was created to address the urgent need for rescue efforts on the small Caribbean island \u2014 just 16 miles long and 3 miles wide \u2014 where limited resources, overpopulation, and a single overcrowded shelter often leave dogs with little chance of survival.<\/p>

Since its founding, Fly to Freedom Dog Rescue has expanded into a well-coordinated network of eight\u00a0core volunteers<\/strong> managing daily operations, more than 100 foster families<\/strong>, and over 300 volunteer transporters<\/strong> who accompany rescued puppies in-cabin to the United States. For medium- and large-breed dogs, the organization coordinates with private charters and cargo airlines, leveraging strong partnerships with pilots, captains, customs brokers, and dog handlers throughout Anguilla, St. Martin, and Puerto Rico<\/strong>.<\/p>

All rescued dogs are placed in loving foster homes across the United States, where they receive care, socialization, and medical attention until they are ready for adoption \u2014 ensuring every dog is treated like family on their journey to a new life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue<\/strong> maintains a trusted partnership with Morlens Veterinary Clinic<\/strong>, the only veterinary clinic on the island of Anguilla.<\/p>

The organization rescues dogs that have little to no chance of local adoption on Anguilla including those at risk of euthanasia due to severe shelter overcrowding. Once a dog is owned by Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue, it is cared for and boarded at Morlens Veterinary Clinic or in a private foster home on island, until transportation to the United States is arranged.<\/p>

At Morlens Veterinary Clinic, every dog receives comprehensive care, including medical exams, vaccinations, treatments, and any necessary medications. The clinic staff \u2014 a dedicated team of three veterinarians, three veterinary technicians, and an office manager \u2014 ensures the dogs are healthy, socialized, and well-prepared for their journey. Dogs enjoy playtime three times a day in the clinic yard, and larger dogs are walked regularly by volunteers.<\/p>

All dogs are fully vaccinated for rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza<\/strong>, and undergo spay or neuter procedures as needed. These measures, along with strict adherence to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)<\/strong> and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/strong> guidelines, ensure every dog is ready for safe entry into the United States \u2014 complete with accurate medical records and required travel documentation.<\/p>

Together, Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue and Morlens Veterinary Clinic provide each dog with expert care and compassion, giving them the best possible start before finding their forever homes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
