  1. Dear Carol, We have just got back from a 2 week holiday touring round some of Cuba and have seen some dreadful sights. The thin and malnourished ponies pulling carts and dogs. I’ve read a bit about the Aniplant Project and want to make a donation to them. It looks like they work mainly in Havana, do you know if they work in Vinales too? We stopped there and one particular little black dog was in a terrible state. When I gave him some sausages that I had taken from breakfast I saw a wound on his back that had maggots. After gobbling the sausages he tried to lick the wound but could not reach it and started to cry. I can hear him now – is there anyone there who might help him? Angela O’Connell

  2. Hello,
    I am from Vancouver and heading back there tomorrow from Havana.
    Next to the Floridita bar in Centro Habana there is a really sick dog, curled up.
    I am trying to find help tonight but can’t seem to find any services.
    Long shot but I’m wondering if you know of any vets?

    1. Hi, I’m so sorry I’m just seeing this comment. This is a common situation all over Cuba as there are so many strays and no animal shelters. There are vets in Havana, but with such limited resources, it’s often hard for them to do much to help street dogs. Thank you for caring about this little soul. Carol
